Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aerosol supply, and in particular to an aerosol supply device and system. Background Art

[0002] Current aerosol supply devices are primarily categorized by their heating method: internal core heating and circumferential heating. Internal core heating is preferred by more consumers because it allows for more complete heating of the cigarettes used in aerosol supply devices and a faster heating temperature increase. The heating modules of internal core heating devices are typically sheet or needle-type. Cigarettes used in aerosol supply devices are primarily made of thin sheets with a high moisture content. When a cigarette is inserted into the heating chamber, the thin sheets come into close contact with the heating needles of the heating module, which can easily cause a certain degree of sticking at high temperatures. Cleaning the sticky portions of the heating needles and any tobacco debris that falls to the bottom of the cigarette holder is difficult.

[0003] Furthermore, the heating module and extractor in existing aerosol supply devices are typically fixed within the device. Cleaning the device involves simply inserting a brush into the heating chamber for simple cleaning, and the heating module and other components cannot be individually disassembled for thorough cleaning. Current aerosol supply devices typically use high-temperature heating to bake tobacco, a process that produces aerosols containing substances such as smoke agents, moisture, flavorings, and solvents. Aerosols or high-temperature baked tobacco debris accumulate and adhere to the surface of the heating module, making simple brush cleaning ineffective. This long-term effect severely impacts the heating efficiency and service life of the heating module, while also producing harmful chemicals that affect the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention provides an aerosol supply device and system to solve technical problems such as how to effectively clean the heating module.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an aerosol supply device, comprising:

[0006] The housing has a first accommodating cavity, wherein the top of the first accommodating cavity along the height direction has an insertion opening;

[0008] A heating module is detachably arranged in the first accommodating cavity, and the heating module is located at the bottom of the extractor along the height direction and is connected to the extractor, and can follow the extractor to move upward along the height direction of the device to be removed from the insertion port.

[0009] Through the embodiment of the present application, the heating module is configured to move upward along the height direction of the device following the extractor to be removed from the insertion port, so that the heating module can be removed from the device for cleaning, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the heating module.

[0010] In a technical solution of the above-mentioned aerosol supply device, the device also includes a connecting assembly, which includes a first connecting member and a second connecting member, one of the first connecting member and the second connecting member is arranged on the extractor, and the other is arranged on the heating module, and the heating module is detachably connected to the extractor through the connecting assembly.

[0011] Through the embodiment of the present application, the first connecting member and the second connecting member that cooperate with each other in the connecting assembly are used to achieve a detachable connection between the heating module and the extractor, so that the heating module can be further cleaned, further improving the cleaning effect of the heating module.

[0012] In one technical solution of the above-mentioned aerosol supply device, one of the first connecting member and the second connecting member includes a protruding structure, and the other includes a connecting groove that cooperates with the protruding structure.

[0013] By setting one of the first connecting member and the second connecting member as a protruding structure and the other as a connecting groove that cooperates with the protruding structure, rapid installation and disassembly between the first connecting member and the second connecting member can be achieved, thereby improving assembly efficiency. At the same time, the structure is simple and production costs can be reduced.

[0014] In one technical solution of the above-mentioned aerosol supply device, the first connecting member is a protruding structure provided on the side wall of the extractor, and the second connecting member is a connecting groove provided on the side wall of the heating module;

[0015] The end of the heating module facing the extractor is formed with a receiving portion, the end of the extractor provided with the protruding structure is embedded in the receiving portion, the connecting groove is provided on the side wall of the receiving portion, and the heating needle is provided on the bottom wall of the receiving portion.

[0016] In a technical solution of the above-mentioned aerosol supply device, the connecting groove extends along the circumference of the accommodating portion, and the protruding structure can reciprocate along the connecting groove.

[0017] By providing a raised structure that can move back and forth along the connecting groove, the heating module can be driven to move relative to the extractor, thereby causing the cigarettes accommodated in the extractor to move relative to the heating module, thereby preventing aerosol-generating materials from adhering to the heating module (especially the heating needle) or remaining in the cavity, thereby improving the hygiene of the device.

[0018] In a technical solution of the above-mentioned aerosol supply device, the number of the protrusion structures and the connecting grooves is the same and both include multiple protrusion structures and multiple connecting grooves, which are respectively arranged at intervals on the side wall of the extractor and the side wall of the accommodating portion.

A spiral groove is provided on the side wall of the sleeve, and a guide is provided on the side wall of the heating module. The guide can be spirally rotated along the spiral groove. When the extractor and the heating module are taken out of the sleeve, the heating module rotates relative to the extractor.

[0025] By utilizing the matching spiral groove and guide member, when the cigarette (including the extractor and the heating module) is taken out of the aerosol supply device after heating, the guide member moves along the spiral groove to drive the heating module to rotate relative to the extractor, thereby causing the cigarette to rotate relative to the heating module (especially the heating needle), which can prevent the aerosol generating material from sticking to the heating needle or remaining in the cavity, thereby improving the hygiene of the device.

[0026] In one technical solution of the above-mentioned aerosol supply device, a limiting groove is formed on the inner wall of the extractor, and the limiting groove extends in the longitudinal direction of the extractor;

[0027] The device also includes a cigarette holder arranged in the second accommodating cavity, and a limit block cooperating with the limit groove is provided on the outer wall of the cigarette holder. The limit block can move back and forth in the limit groove along the longitudinal direction of the extractor. A fourth accommodating cavity for accommodating cigarettes is formed inside the cigarette holder, and the cigarettes are interference fit with the cigarette holder.

[0028] On the one hand, by adding a cigarette holder, the cigarette is placed in the fourth accommodating cavity formed inside the cigarette holder. When the cigarette is taken out of the device after heating is completed, the cigarette holder moves along the longitudinal direction of the extractor with the cooperation of the limit groove and the limit block, which can prevent the cigarette from breaking during the removal process; on the other hand, the cigarette holder is set to have an interference fit with the cigarette, so that when the cigarette is taken out of the aerosol supply device, the interference fit will cause the cigarette holder to move together with the cigarette.

In some alternative embodiments, the susceptor is on one or either side of the material.

[0089] A consumable is an article comprising or consisting of an aerosol-generating material, some or all of which is intended to be consumed by a user during use. A consumable may include one or more other components, such as an aerosol-generating material storage area, an aerosol-generating material delivery component, an aerosol-generating region, a housing, a wrapper, a mouthpiece, a filter, and / or an aerosol modifier. A consumable may also include an aerosol generator, such as a heater, which releases heat during use to cause the aerosol-generating material to generate an aerosol. The heater may, for example, comprise a combustible material, a material that can be heated by electrical conduction, or a susceptor.

[0090] A susceptor is a material that can be heated by penetrating it with a varying magnetic field (e.g., an alternating magnetic field). The susceptor can be a conductive material, such that penetration by the varying magnetic field results in inductive heating of the heated material. The heated material can be a magnetic material, such that penetration by the varying magnetic field results in hysteresis heating of the heated material. A susceptor can be both conductive and magnetic, allowing it to be heated by both heating mechanisms. A device configured to generate a varying magnetic field is referred to herein as a magnetic field generator.

[0091] An aerosol modifier is a substance typically located downstream of an aerosol generation region that is configured to modify the generated aerosol, for example, by changing the taste, flavor, acidity, or another characteristic of the aerosol. The aerosol modifier can be disposed in an aerosol modifier release component that is operable to selectively release the aerosol modifier. For example, the aerosol modifier can be an additive or an adsorbent. For example, the aerosol modifier can include one or more of a flavoring, a colorant, water, and a carbon adsorbent. For example, the aerosol modifier can be a solid, a liquid, or a gel. The aerosol modifier can be in the form of a powder, string, or granules. The aerosol modifier can be free of filter material.

[0092] An aerosol generator is a device configured to cause an aerosol to be generated from an aerosol-generating material. In some embodiments, the aerosol generator is a heater configured to subject the aerosol-generating material to thermal energy to release one or more volatiles from the aerosol-generating material to form an aerosol. In some embodiments, the aerosol generator is configured to cause an aerosol to be generated from the aerosol-generating material without heating. For example, the aerosol generator can be configured to subject the aerosol-generating material to one or more of vibration, increased pressure, or electrostatic energy.

[0093] The present disclosure relates to aerosol delivery systems (which may also be referred to as vapor delivery systems), such as atomizers or electronic cigarettes. In the following description, the term "electronic cigarette" or "electronic cigarette" may sometimes be used, but it will be understood that this term can be used interchangeably with aerosol delivery systems / devices and electronic aerosol delivery systems / devices. In addition, as is common in the art, the terms "aerosol" and "vapor" and related terms such as "evaporation," "atomization," and "aerosolization" are often used interchangeably.

[0094] Aerosol delivery systems (electronic cigarettes) typically (although not always) include modular components that include a reusable device portion and a replaceable (disposable / consumable) cartridge component. Typically, the replaceable cartridge component will include an aerosol generating material and a vaporizer (which can be collectively referred to as an "atomizer"), and the reusable device portion will include a power supply (e.g., a rechargeable power supply) and a control circuit. It will be understood that these different parts may include additional elements depending on their function. For example, the reusable device portion will typically include a user interface for receiving user input and displaying operating status features, and the replaceable cartridge device portion in some cases includes a temperature sensor for helping to control temperature. The cartridge is electrically and mechanically connected to the control unit for use, for example, using a thread, a bayonet, or a magnetic connection with appropriately arranged electrical contacts. When the aerosol generating material in the cartridge is exhausted, or when the user wishes to switch to a different cartridge with a different aerosol generating material, the cartridge can be removed from the reusable component and a replacement cartridge attached to its appropriate position. Systems and devices that conform to this type of two-piece modular configuration may generally be referred to as two-piece systems / devices.

[0095] Electronic cigarettes typically have a generally elongated shape. To provide a specific example, some embodiments of the present disclosure will be considered to include such a generally elongated two-piece system employing a disposable cartridge. However, it will be understood that the basic principles described herein can be equally applicable to different configurations, such as a one-piece system or a modular system comprising more than two components, refillable devices and single-use disposables, as well as other overall shapes, such as high-performance devices based on so-called box-shaped models that typically have a box shape. More generally, it will be understood that certain embodiments of the present disclosure are based on an aerosol delivery system that is operatively configured to provide functionality according to the principles described herein, and that the structural aspects of the system configured to provide functionality according to certain embodiments of the present disclosure are not primarily important.

A second accommodating chamber 210 is formed within the extractor 200, which is used to accommodate cigarettes. Furthermore, the heating module 300 is detachably disposed within the first accommodating chamber 120, located at the bottom of the extractor 200 along the height direction and connected to the extractor 200. The heating module 300 can move upward along the height direction of the device with the extractor 200 to be removed from the insertion port 110, allowing the heating module to be removed from the device for cleaning, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the heating module and preventing incomplete cleaning from affecting the heating efficiency and service life of the heating module, as well as the production of harmful chemicals that affect the user experience.

[0099] As a preferred embodiment, in the embodiment of the present application, the connecting component 400 generally includes a first connecting member 410 and a second connecting member 420, and the first connecting member 410 and the second connecting member 420 are detachably connected. One of the first connecting member 410 and the second connecting member 420 is arranged on the extractor 200, and the other is arranged on the heating module 300 to achieve a detachable connection between the heating module 300 and the extractor 200, so that the heating module can be removed from the device for cleaning, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the heating module, avoiding affecting the heating efficiency and service life of the heating module due to incomplete cleaning, and avoiding the production of harmful chemicals that affect the user experience.

[0100] As a preferred embodiment, in the present embodiment, one of the first and second connectors 410, 420 includes a protrusion, while the other includes a connection groove that mates with the protrusion. When subjected to external pressure, the protrusion deforms inwardly of the device and disengages from the connection groove. This arrangement allows for quick installation and removal of the first and second connectors 410, 420, improving assembly efficiency while simplifying the structure and reducing production costs.

[0101] In a specific embodiment, the first connecting member 410 is a protruding structure provided on the extractor 200 , and the second connecting member 420 is a connecting groove provided on the heating module 300 .

[0102] In another specific embodiment, the first connecting member 410 is a connecting groove provided on the extractor 200 , and the second connecting member 420 is a protruding structure provided on the heating module 300 .

[0103] In a specific embodiment, the first connecting member 410 is a protruding structure provided on the heating module 300 , and the second connecting member 420 is a connecting groove provided on the extractor 200 .

[0104] In another specific embodiment, the first connecting member 410 is a connecting groove provided on the heating module 300 , and the second connecting member 420 is a protruding structure provided on the extractor 200 .

[0105] In a specific embodiment, the connecting groove is a circumferential groove, and the protruding structure can reciprocate along the circumferential groove.

[0106] Further references Figure 3 As shown, as a preferred embodiment, in the embodiment of the present application, the first connecting member 410 is a protruding structure provided on the side wall of the extractor 200, and the second connecting member 420 is a connecting groove provided on the side wall of the heating module 300. In a specific implementation, the heating module 300 is formed with a housing 320, and the housing 320 is provided at the end of the heating module 300 facing the extractor 200. The end of the extractor 200 provided with the protruding structure is embedded in the housing 320, and the connecting groove is provided on the side wall of the housing 320, so that when the extractor 200 is embedded in the housing 320, the protruding structure is snapped into the connecting groove, thereby realizing a detachable connection between the heating module 300 and the extractor 200. When the heating module 300 needs to be removed from the extractor 200 for cleaning, the protruding structure can be squeezed to deform it toward the interior of the device so as to fall off from the connecting groove.

[0107] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the heating module 300 includes a heating needle 310, a receiving portion 320, a heater base 330 and a first structural member 340. The heating needle 310 is arranged on the heater base 330 and faces the extractor 200. The heater base 330 is embedded in the first structural member 340. The receiving portion 320 is formed at one end of the first structural member 340 close to the extractor 200, and the surface of the heater base 330 where the heating needle 310 is arranged forms the bottom wall of the receiving portion. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the heating needle 310 is arranged at the center of the end of the heater base 330 facing the extractor 200. It can be understood that by arranging the heating needle 310 at the center of the end of the heater base 330 facing the extractor 200, the heating needle 310 can be located at the center of the cigarette when inserted into the cigarette, so that the heating needle 310 can evenly heat the cigarette and improve the user's taste. It should be noted here that in the embodiment of the present application, the shape of the heater base 330 is not specifically limited. Under the premise of not violating the inventive concept of the present application, the user can set it according to actual needs. As a preferred embodiment, the heater base 330 can be adapted to the shape of the first structural member 340. For example, when the first structural member 340 is a hollow columnar structure, the heater base 330 can be set to a columnar structure, which makes it easier to embed the heater base 330 in the first structural member 340.

[0108] Further references Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the connecting groove is a long groove, which extends along the circumference of the side wall of the accommodating portion 320 to form a circumferential groove. The protruding structure can move back and forth along the connecting groove, so that the heating module 300 and the extractor 200 can rotate with each other, so that the cigarette accommodated in the extractor 200 can move relative to the heating module 300, which can prevent the aerosol generating material from sticking to the heating module 300 (especially the heating needle) or remaining in the cavity, thereby improving the hygiene of the device.

[0109] It should be noted here that, in the embodiment of the present application, there is no specific limitation on the number of raised structures and connecting grooves. Without violating the inventive concept of the present application, users can set them according to the actual needs of the product. For example, in order to make the connection between the extractor 200 and the heating module 300 more reliable and the relative movement more stable, the number of raised structures and connecting grooves can be set to be the same and both include multiple, multiple raised structures are arranged at intervals on the side wall of the extractor 200, and multiple connecting grooves are arranged at intervals on the side wall of the accommodating portion 320. As an illustrative and non-restrictive explanation, the number of raised structures and connecting grooves in the embodiment of the present application is 2, wherein the two raised structures are arranged relative to each other on the side wall of the extractor 200, and the two connecting grooves are arranged relative to each other on the side wall of the accommodating portion 320.

[0110] Reference Figure 4 As shown, as a preferred embodiment, in the embodiment of the present application, at least one limiter 430 is provided in the connecting groove. In specific implementation, the limiter 430 can be formed as a protrusion extending on one of the side walls of the connecting groove in the direction toward the other side wall of the connecting groove; the limiter 430 can also be a separate component connected to the connecting groove, and no specific limitation is made here. By providing at least one limiter 430 in the connecting groove, the range of motion of the protruding structure in the connecting groove can be limited. It should be noted here that in the embodiment of the present application, there is no specific limitation on the number of limiters 430. Without violating the inventive concept of the present application, users can set them according to the actual needs of the product.

[0111] It can be understood that the connecting groove in the embodiment of the present application can be a through hole or a blind hole. There is no specific limitation on it in the embodiment of the present application. During specific implementation, an adaptive selection can be made according to the actual product. For example, when the side wall of the accommodating portion 320 for setting the connecting groove is relatively thin, the connecting groove can be set as a through hole, and the size of the protruding structure in the depth direction of the connecting groove is set to be larger than the depth of the connecting groove, so as to avoid the protruding structure falling off from the connecting groove during the movement along the connecting groove; when the side wall of the accommodating portion 320 for setting the connecting groove is relatively thick, the depth of the connecting groove is allowed to have a larger size. Therefore, setting the connecting groove as a blind hole can also avoid the protruding structure falling off from the connecting groove during the movement along the connecting groove.

[0112] Further references Figure 3 As shown, as a preferred embodiment, in the embodiment of the present application, the shell 100 forms the above-mentioned first accommodating cavity 120 for accommodating the extractor 200, the heating module 300 and the connecting assembly 400, and the first accommodating cavity 120 has an insertion port 110, so that the extractor 200 and the heating module 300 can enter the first accommodating cavity 120 or be taken out from the first accommodating cavity 120 through the insertion port 110.

[0113] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, as a preferred embodiment, in the embodiment of the present application, the extractor 200 includes an extractor body 220, a second structural member 230 and a cover body 250. A second accommodating cavity 210 is formed inside the extractor body 220, that is, the extractor body 220 is a hollow structure for accommodating cigarettes. A first through hole 221 is provided at one end of the extractor body 220 close to the heating module 300 (that is, the bottom wall of the second accommodating cavity 210). The first through hole 221 is configured to allow the heating needle 310 to pass through so that the heating needle 310 enters the interior of the extractor body 220 and is inserted into the cigarette accommodated in the extractor body 220. The second structural member 230 is provided at the insertion port 110. The second structural member 230 includes a matching first part 231 and a second part 232, wherein the first part 231 is fixedly connected to the extractor body 220, and the second part 232 is provided between the first part 231 and the cover body 250. Optionally, the second part 232 is connected to the first part 231 by a snap. The cover 250 is connected to the second structural member 230 via a snap-fit ​​connection. A through-hole is defined in the cover 250, allowing a cigarette to pass through and into the extractor body 220. It will be appreciated that both the first portion 231 and the second portion 232 define through-holes that communicate with the second accommodating cavity 210 and the through-holes defined in the cover 250, allowing a cigarette to be inserted into the second accommodating cavity 210 in the extractor body 220.

[0114] In a specific embodiment, the cover 250 can be removed from the device along with the extractor body 220 and other components. In a specific implementation, the cover 250 can be fixedly connected to the second structural member 230 via a snap, so that when the extractor body 220 and other components are removed from the device, the cover 250 can be removed together.

[0115] In another specific embodiment, the cover 250 is detachably connected to the shell 100. When the extractor body 220 and other components need to be removed from the device, the cover 250 is first removed from the shell 100, and then the extractor body 220 and other components are removed from the device.

[0116] Further references Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the aerosol supply device further includes a cigarette holder 500. The cigarette holder 500 is arranged in the second accommodating chamber 210 of the extractor 200. The cigarette holder 500 is a hollow structure, and a fourth accommodating chamber 510 is formed inside, and the fourth accommodating chamber 510 is used to accommodate cigarettes. In specific implementation, a limiting groove 240 is formed on the inner wall of the extractor body 220, and the limiting groove 240 extends along the longitudinal direction of the extractor body 220. A limiting block 520 is provided on the outer side wall of the cigarette holder. The limiting block 520 is used in conjunction with the limiting groove 240, and the limiting block 520 can move back and forth in the limiting groove 240 along the longitudinal direction of the extractor.

[0117] It can be understood that by adding a cigarette holder 500, the cigarette is placed in the fourth accommodating cavity 510 formed inside the cigarette holder 500. When the cigarette is taken out of the device after heating is completed, the cigarette holder 500 can only move along the longitudinal direction of the extractor with the cooperation of the limit groove 240 and the limit block 520, which can avoid the cigarette from breaking during the removal process and prevent the heating element from driving the cigarette to rotate together.

[0118] As a preferred embodiment, in the embodiment of the present application, an interference fit is provided between the cigarette and the cigarette holder 500. By providing an interference fit between the cigarette holder and the cigarette, when the cigarette is removed from the aerosol supply device, the interference fit causes the cigarette holder to move along with the cigarette. In the embodiment of the present application, the specific implementation method of the interference fit between the cigarette holder 500 and the cigarette is not limited, and the user can set it according to actual needs. As an illustrative and non-restrictive explanation, in the embodiment of the present application, a protrusion (not shown) can be provided on the inner wall of the cigarette holder 500. When the cigarette is loaded into the cigarette holder 500, the protrusion has an interference fit with the cigarette, so that when the cigarette is removed from the aerosol supply device, the interference fit causes the cigarette holder to move along with the cigarette. In the embodiment of the present application, the shape and material of the protrusion are not specifically limited. Without violating the inventive concept of the present application, the user can set it according to actual product needs. As an illustrative but not restrictive explanation, in the embodiment of the present application, the protrusion is annular, and the annular protrusion is arranged along the circumference of the inner wall of the cigarette holder 500.

[0119] It should be noted here that in the embodiment of the present application, there is no specific limitation on the shape of the extractor body 220 and the cigarette holder 500. Without violating the inventive concept of the present application, the user can set it according to actual needs. As an exemplary and non-restrictive explanation, the extractor body 220 and the cigarette holder 500 in the embodiment of the present application can be set to a hollow cylindrical shape.

[0120] It should also be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, there is no specific limit on the number of limiting grooves 240 and limiting blocks 520. Users can set these based on actual product needs without violating the inventive concept of the present application. For example, to ensure more stable movement of the cigarette holder 500 relative to the extractor 200, the limiting grooves 240 and limiting blocks 520 can be provided in equal numbers, with multiple limiting grooves 240 spaced apart on the inner wall of the extractor body 220, and multiple limiting blocks 520 spaced apart on the outer wall of the cigarette holder 500. As an example and not a limitation, in the embodiment of the present application, there are two limiting grooves 240 and two limiting blocks 520, wherein the two limiting grooves 240 are disposed opposite each other on the inner wall of the extractor body 220, and the two limiting blocks 520 are disposed opposite each other on the outer wall of the cigarette holder 500.

[0121] Further references Figure 5 As shown, a second through hole 530 is defined at one end of the cigarette holder 500 near the heating module 300 (i.e., on the bottom wall of the fourth accommodating chamber 510). The second through hole 530 is configured to allow the heating needle 310 to pass through, allowing the heating needle 310 to enter the interior of the cigarette holder 500 and be inserted into a cigarette received therein. As a preferred embodiment, in this embodiment, the second through hole 530 can be coaxially disposed with the first through hole 221.

[0122] It can be understood that the limiting groove in the embodiment of the present application can be a through hole or a blind hole. There is no specific limitation on it in the embodiment of the present application. During specific implementation, adaptive selection can be made according to the actual product. For example, when the side wall of the extractor body 220 where the limiting groove is set is relatively thin, the limiting groove can be set as a through hole, and the size of the limiting block in the depth direction of the limiting groove is set to be larger than the depth of the limiting groove to prevent the limiting block from falling off from the limiting groove during movement along the limiting groove; when the side wall of the extractor body 220 where the limiting groove is set is relatively thick, the depth of the limiting groove is allowed to have a larger size. Therefore, setting the limiting groove as a blind hole can also prevent the limiting block from falling off from the limiting groove during movement along the limiting groove.

[0123] Example 2

[0124] The difference from the first embodiment is that, referring to Figure 6As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the aerosol supply device further includes a sleeve 600. The sleeve 600 is disposed in the first accommodating chamber 120 and fixed within the housing 100. The sleeve 600 is a hollow structure, and a third accommodating chamber 610 is formed therein. The third accommodating chamber 610 is used to accommodate the extractor 200 and the heating module 300. During specific implementation, a spiral groove 620 is provided on the side wall of the sleeve 600, and a guide member 350 is provided on the side wall of the heating module 300. On the one hand, after the heater base 330 is placed into the first structural member 340, the heater base 330 can be fixed to the first structural member 340 through the guide member 350. On the other hand, the guide member 350 can spirally move along the spiral groove 620, and the protruding structure on the side wall of the extractor 200 can move along the connecting groove on the side wall of the heating module 300. Therefore, when the extractor 200 and the heating module 300 are taken out of the sleeve 600, the heating module 300 can be rotated relative to the extractor 200, so that the cigarette can rotate relative to the heating needle 310, which can prevent the aerosol generating material from sticking to the heating needle or remaining in the cavity, thereby improving the hygiene of the device.

[0125] It should be noted here that in the embodiment of the present application, there is no specific limitation on the shape of the sleeve 600. Without violating the inventive concept of the present application, the user can set it according to actual needs. As an exemplary but not restrictive explanation, the sleeve 600 in the embodiment of the present application can be set to a hollow columnar structure.

The first conductive member 700 is disposed at the end of the heating module 300 away from the extractor 200, and the second conductive member (not shown) is disposed at the first accommodating cavity 120 facing the heating module 300. When the heating module 300 is installed in the device, the first conductive member 700 abuts against the second conductive member (not shown) to form an electrical connection.

[0129] As a preferred embodiment, in the embodiment of the present application, one of the first conductive member 700 and the second conductive member (not shown) is in a columnar structure, and the other is in a circular or annular structure. Furthermore, when the first conductive member 700 and the second conductive member (not shown) rotate within a preset angle, the first conductive member 700 and the second conductive member (not shown) are always electrically connected. Since the heating module 300 in the embodiment of the present application can be removed from the device, the first conductive member 700 and the second conductive member (not shown) are set to the above-mentioned structure, which can avoid the situation where the heating module 300 is installed into the device again, and the first conductive member 700 and the second conductive member (not shown) are offset in position, resulting in the failure to achieve electrical connection between the two.

[0130] Further references Figure 7 As shown, as a preferred embodiment, in the embodiment of the present application, the first conductive member 700 is electrically connected to the heating module 300, and the second conductive member is electrically connected to the battery, so that the battery supplies power to the heating module 300. Take the first conductive member 700 as a columnar structure and the second conductive member (not shown) as a circular or annular structure as an example for illustration. During specific implementation, an electrode hole 360 ​​is provided on the end of the first structural member 340 away from the extractor 200, and one end of the first conductive member 700 with a columnar structure is electrically connected to the heater base 330 through the electrode hole 360, and the other end is electrically connected to the second conductive member with a circular or annular structure. It can be understood that the first conductive member 700 and the second conductive member in the embodiment of the present application each include two, which are electrically connected to the heating module 300 and the positive pole and negative pole of the battery respectively.
