[0038] Reference will now be made to Figures 1-4The heating non-combustion device comprises a housing 10, a cartridge 20 and a heating device. The heating non-combustion device is used for heating an aerosol product 30. The aerosol product 30 can only comprise a smoking substrate section, which can comprise a smoking substrate and a wrapping member for wrapping the smoking substrate, or can be a solid forming member without the wrapping member. The smoking substrate can comprise at least one of tobacco and non-tobacco smoking material, for example, the non-tobacco smoking material can comprise fibers adsorbed with a smoking agent such as glycerol and propylene glycol. The aerosol product 30 of the present application can omit the cooling section for cooling and the filter section for filtering in the existing aerosol product 30, and therefore, the length of the aerosol product 30 of the present application can be equal to the length of the smoking substrate section. Of course, in some embodiments, the aerosol product 30 can further comprise a functional section in addition to the smoking substrate section, for example, the functional section can be a portion containing flavoring material or filtering material such as activated carbon, and the functional section can be located at one end of the smoking substrate section in the length direction of the aerosol product 30.

[0039] The housing 10 is provided with a first accommodating groove 11, a mounting space 12 and an air outlet passage 13. Exemplarily, the top of the housing 10 is provided with a mouthpiece, and the air outlet passage 13 can be partially formed on the mouthpiece. The mounting space 12 can be recessed by the side surface of the housing 10, and the mounting space 12 has a mounting opening through which the cartridge 20 can be detachably or movably mounted in the mounting space 12. After the cartridge 20 is removed from the mounting space 12, the user can replace the aerosol product 30 from the cartridge 20. The first accommodating groove 11 can be formed on the cavity wall of the mounting space 12, i.e. the first accommodating groove 11 can be recessed by the cavity wall of the mounting space 12. Specifically, the first accommodating groove 11 is formed on the side wall of the mounting space 12. The orientation reference of "top", "bottom" and "side" of the present application is based on the placement orientation shown in the figure, i.e. the state that the mouthpiece of the heating non-combustion device faces upward when in use. Figure 1

[0040] The side wall of the cartridge 20 is provided with a second accommodating groove 21, and one end of the second accommodating groove 21 towards the air outlet passage 13 has an opening 211 for communicating with the air outlet passage 13, so that the aerosol generated by the aerosol product 30 can flow out of the air outlet passage 13 through the opening 211.

[0041] ​After the magazine 20 is inserted into the installation space 12, the first receiving groove 11 and the second receiving groove 21 form a receiving space 40 for the aerosol product 30, and the opening 211 communicates with the gas outlet channel 13. The receiving space 40 can be adapted to the shape of the aerosol product 30. For example, if the aerosol product 30 is approximately cylindrical, then the receiving space 40 can be cylindrical. Both the first receiving groove 11 and the second receiving groove 21 can be arc-shaped grooves so that the first receiving groove 11 and the second receiving groove 21 can be joined together to form a cylindrical space.

[0042] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a support portion 212 is provided at the end of the second receiving groove 21 away from the air outlet channel 13. The support portion 212 can be used to support the aerosol product 30 so that the aerosol product 30 is not easily detached from the magazine 20 when it is loaded into the magazine 20. When air enters from the bottom of the magazine 20, an air inlet can be opened on the support portion 212. The air inlet is connected to the second receiving groove 21 so that airflow can enter the aerosol product 30 from the air inlet.

[0043] The heating device includes a first heating component 50 and a second heating component 60. The first heating component 50 is disposed around a first receiving groove 11, which may be either surrounding the outside of the first receiving groove 11 or defining the first receiving groove 11. The second heating component 60 is disposed around a second receiving groove 21, which may be either surrounding the outside of the second receiving groove 21 or defining the second receiving groove 21. The first heating component 50 and the second heating component 60 can respectively heat different portions of the aerosol product 30 within the receiving space 40. Specifically, the first heating component 50 and the second heating component 60 can respectively heat different portions of the aerosol product 30 along the circumferential direction.

[0044] The heating non-combustion device of the present application sets the cartridge 20, the cartridge 20 can accommodate the aerosol product 30, and then the cartridge 20 is installed in the shell 10 to use the heating non-combustion device. The gas outlet channel 13 is arranged in the shell 10, which can replace the filter segment, the temperature reduction segment and other structures of the aerosol product 30, and can be repeatedly used, so that the cartridge 20 of the present application can only accommodate the aerosol substrate segment, and the other structures of the aerosol product 30 can be saved, thereby saving the cost of replacing consumables when the user uses the heating non-combustion device. The first accommodating groove 11 of the shell 10 and the second accommodating groove 21 of the cartridge 20 jointly enclose the accommodating space 40 of the aerosol product 30, the cartridge 20 and the shell 10 are in a detachable or movable assembly relationship, the first heating assembly 50 and the second heating assembly 60 are heating structures arranged outside the accommodating space 40, when the cartridge 20 is pushed out of the mounting space 12, the first accommodating groove 11 and the second accommodating groove 21 are separated and each forms a semi-open structure, thereby facilitating the removal of the used aerosol product 30, the first heating assembly 50 and the second heating assembly 60 peripherally heat the aerosol product 30, compared with the structure of the heating needle inserted into the aerosol product 30, the peripheral heating of the aerosol product 30 is not easy to drop slag, so that the accommodating space 40 almost does not need to be cleaned.

[0045] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 5-7 The heating device includes the emitter 70 and / or the heating element 80. Among them, the first heating assembly 50 can include the emitter 70 and / or the heating element 80, or the second heating assembly 60 can include the emitter 70 and / or the heating element 80. Among them, the heating element 80 of the first heating assembly 50 and the heating element 80 of the second heating assembly 60 can be heating arc pieces, and the heating device includes a heating tube, and the heating arc piece of the first heating assembly 50 and the heating arc piece of the second heating assembly 60 can be spliced into at least part of the heating tube.

[0046] The emitter 70 is arranged to face the accommodating space 40, and the emitter 70 is used to generate an energy field by electrification, and the energy field is used to heat the aerosol product 30. The energy field can directly heat the aerosol product 30, or can heat the heat-conducting element 90, and then heat the aerosol product 30 by the heat-conducting element 90 in contact with the aerosol product 30. The heating element 80 can define the accommodating space 40 and be used to heat the aerosol product 30 by contact and heat conduction.

[0047] For example, in the embodiment as shown in Figure 5 The first heating assembly 50 includes the first heating arc piece 51, the second heating assembly 60 includes the second heating arc piece 61, and the first heating arc piece 51 and the second heating arc piece 61 can be spliced into a heating tube. Figure 6In one embodiment, the first heating component 50 includes a first magnetic induction coil 52, and the second heating component 60 includes a second magnetic induction coil 62. Figure 7 In one embodiment, the first heating component 50 includes a third heating arc plate 53 and a third magnetic induction coil 54, and the second heating component 60 includes a fourth heating arc plate 63 and a fourth magnetic induction coil 64. In other embodiments, the first heating component 50 and the second heating component 60 may also have other combinations, not limited to the combinations mentioned above.

[0048] like Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, at least one of the first heating assembly 50 and the second heating assembly 60 includes an emitter 70, and the heating device further includes a thermally conductive element 90, the emitter 70 being used to heat the thermally conductive element 90 in a non-contact manner. The thermally conductive element 90 defines at least a portion of the accommodating space 40 for contacting and conducting heat with the aerosol article 30. For example, the emitter 70 may include a magnetic induction coil, and the thermally conductive element 90 may be made of a magnetic induction material so that the thermally conductive element 90 can sense the electromagnetic field generated by the magnetic induction coil to generate heat and transfer the heat to the aerosol article 30. The thermally conductive element 90 may be, for example, in the form of a thermally conductive arc. The thermally conductive element 90 may be positioned around the first accommodating groove 11 and / or the second accommodating groove 21 depending on the position of the emitter 70. The thermally conductive element 90 may define the accommodating space 40 independently, or it may define the accommodating space 40 together with other types of arcs (e.g., resistive heating arcs, non-heating retractable arcs, etc.).

[0049] In one embodiment, the transmitter 70 may include one or more of an infrared transmitter, a microwave transmitter, an ultrasonic transmitter, and a magnetic induction coil. Correspondingly, the energy field may include one or more of an infrared radiation field, a microwave radiation field, an ultrasonic energy field, and an electromagnetic field. By configuring the transmitter 70 to generate an energy field, the transmitter 70 can remotely heat the aerosol product 30 within the accommodating space 40 in a non-contact manner. Unlike heat transfer heating, which requires a certain amount of time and may result in uneven heating of the aerosol product 30, some energy fields can penetrate the aerosol product 30 and cause it to heat up, resulting in more uniform heating of the aerosol product 30. Furthermore, heat transfer heating requires contact between the heating element and the aerosol product 30, which may be limited by structural constraints. In contrast, energy field heating allows for remote heating, and its location can be set more flexibly compared to heat transfer heating.

[0050] In an embodiment, the emitter 70 comprises an infrared emitter, which can generate an infrared radiation field. The infrared emitter can be a heating element capable of rapid heating and generating infrared rays, such as a quartz tube heating body, a ceramic heating body, a halogen tungsten lamp, an iodine tungsten lamp, etc. When the frequency of the incident infrared rays is equal to the natural frequency of the smoking substrate, resonance phenomenon can occur, which can first cause vibration and rotation of the molecules and atoms of the smoking substrate, and then increase the amplitude of the movement of the molecules of the smoking substrate, thereby generating heat.

[0051] In an embodiment, the emitter 70 comprises a microwave emitter, which can generate a microwave radiation field. The microwave radiation can cause high-frequency reciprocating motion of the dipole molecules inside the smoking substrate, generate "internal friction heat", and increase the temperature of the smoking substrate. Without any heat conduction process, the inside and outside of the smoking substrate can be heated and warmed at the same time, the heating speed is fast and uniform, and only a few tenths or hundredths of the energy consumption of the traditional heating method is required to achieve the heating purpose.

[0052] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 8 At least one of the first heating assembly 50 and the second heating assembly 60 comprises an emitter 70, and the heat-not-burn device further comprises a reflector 100 for reflecting and converging the energy field generated by the emitter 70 to the accommodation space 40, so that the energy field can heat the aerosol product 30. The reflector 100 is arranged in the cartridge 20 and / or the shell 10, and is arranged on the side of the first accommodation groove 11 and the second accommodation groove 21. The reflector 100 is generally suitable for microwave or infrared heating methods. The reflector 100 can be, for example, a metal material, a heat-insulating material with a metal coating, a mirror, etc., and the reflecting surface of the reflector 100 can be provided with protrusions or recesses for increasing the area of the reflecting surface.

[0053] In an embodiment, the emitter 70 comprises an ultrasonic emitter, which can generate ultrasonic waves. The ultrasonic waves can pass through the aerosol product 30, and the aerosol product 30 can generate heat under the combined action of mechanical friction, acoustic heating effect, and cavitation effect.

[0054] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 The heating element comprises a magnetic induction coil, which can generate an electromagnetic wave radiation field. Magnetic induction heating is a method of heating by eddy current generated by alternating magnetic field.

[0055] In an embodiment, the heat-conducting element 90 can be a magnetic induction tube or a magnetic induction arc piece. The magnetic induction coil is used to inductively heat the magnetic induction tube or the magnetic induction arc piece, and the magnetic induction tube or the magnetic induction arc piece is used to contact and conduct heat with the aerosol product 30. Alternatively, the magnetic induction coil can be used to inductively heat a magnetic induction body inside the aerosol product 30.

[0056] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 6 The emitter 70 of the first heating assembly 50 is a first magnetic induction coil 52, and the emitter 70 of the second heating assembly 60 is a second magnetic induction coil 62. The first magnetic induction coil 52 and the second magnetic induction coil 62 are used for inductive heating of the aerosol article 30. At least one of the number of turns, the turn spacing, and the number of layers of the first magnetic induction coil 52 and the second magnetic induction coil 62 is different, so that the magnetic field strength in the axial direction of the magnetic induction coil varies, so that the heating temperature in the axial direction of the aerosol article 30 varies.

[0057] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 7 At least one of the first heating assembly 50 and the second heating assembly 60 includes a plurality of heating elements, which can be emitters 70 (energy field heating) or heat-generating elements 80 (resistive heating). The plurality of heating elements are arranged in a circumferential direction, so that each heating element can heat a different portion of the aerosol article 30 in the circumferential direction. For example, in the embodiment shown in Figure 7 The first heating assembly 50 includes a third heat-generating arc piece 53 and a third magnetic induction coil 54 arranged in a circumferential direction, and the second heating assembly 60 includes a fourth heat-generating arc piece 63 and a fourth magnetic induction coil 64 arranged in a circumferential direction. The third heat-generating arc piece 53, the third magnetic induction coil 54, the fourth heat-generating arc piece 63, and the fourth magnetic induction coil 64 can heat four portions of the aerosol article 30 in the circumferential direction. Each heating element can be heated independently or in cooperation with other heating elements, so that different regions of the aerosol article 30 in the circumferential direction can be selectively heated as needed.

[0058] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 7 The heating non-combustion device further includes a power supply assembly, which includes a battery 201 and an electrode group 202 electrically connected. The battery 201 can be mounted in the housing 10, and the battery 201 can also be designed to be detachably connected to the housing 10 by magnetic attraction or the like. The electrode group 202 is arranged in the mounting space 12. The electrode group 202 can be arranged on the bottom wall, the top wall, or the side wall of the mounting space 12.

[0059] The first heating assembly 50 is electrically connected to the battery 201. The second heating assembly 60 includes an electrode group 65, which protrudes from the outer wall of the cartridge 20, for example, can protrude from the bottom wall of the cartridge 20, or can also protrude from the side wall or the top wall of the cartridge 20. After the cartridge 20 is loaded into the mounting space 12, the electrode group 65 can be in contact with the electrode group 202 for electrical connection. The electrode group 202 and the electrode group 65 can each include positive and negative electrodes.

[0060] When at least one of the first heating assembly 50 and the second heating assembly 60 comprises a plurality of heating elements, the plurality of heating elements are arranged in a circumferential direction, and the heating element can be the emitter 70 or the heating element 80. The number of heating elements of the second heating assembly 60 is the same as the number of the electrode part groups 65, and each heating element of the second heating assembly 60 is connected to each electrode part group 65 in a one-to-one correspondence, so that each heating element is electrically connected to the battery 201 respectively. In an embodiment, the battery 201 can supply power to each heating element individually, so that each heating element can independently heat a part of the aerosol generating article 30.

[0061] In an embodiment, the power supply assembly can comprise one battery 201, and the electrode group 202 and the electrode part group 65 are electrically connected to the battery 201. Alternatively, the power supply assembly comprises two batteries 201, the electrode group 202 is electrically connected to one of the batteries 201, and the electrode part group 65 is electrically connected to the other battery 201.

[0062] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 , one of the electrode group 202 and the electrode part group 65 is an elastic conductive element, which can be, for example, an elastic sheet. The electrode group 202 is arranged at an end of the accommodation space 40 away from the air outlet passage 13, and the electrode group 202 and the electrode part group 65 can be in elastic contact to achieve electrical connection after the cartridge 20 is loaded into the installation space 12. By arranging one of the electrode group 202 and the electrode part group 65 as an elastic conductive element, the electrical connection between the electrode group 202 and the electrode part group 65 can be more stable.

[0063] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 , the heat-not-burn device further comprises a third heating assembly 300. The first air inlet passage 14 is arranged in the housing 10, and the inlet of the first air inlet passage 14 can be arranged on the bottom surface of the housing 10, or on the side surface or the top surface of the housing 10. The second air inlet passage 22 is arranged in the cartridge 20, and the second air inlet passage 22 can communicate the first air inlet passage 14 with the accommodation space 40 after the cartridge 20 is loaded into the installation space 12. The third heating assembly 300 is used to heat the gas flowing through the first air inlet passage 14 into a hot gas flow, so as to heat the aerosol generating article 30 by using the hot gas flow. The third heating assembly 300 can be arranged inside the first air inlet passage 14, or can be arranged around the circumference of the first air inlet passage 14. The third heating assembly 300 can adopt, for example, a resistive heating mode or a magnetic induction heating mode. Compared with the circumferential heating mode, the heating mode of the hot gas flow can make the heating of the aerosol generating article 30 more uniform in the radial direction.

[0064] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the number of the second accommodating grooves 21 and the second heating assemblies 60 is at least two. Each second accommodating groove 21 corresponds to a different second heating assembly 60. The cartridge 20 is movable relative to the housing 10 to make different second accommodating grooves 21 and the first accommodating groove 11 form the accommodating space 40 for the aerosol generating article 30. The cartridge 20 can be movable by rotating or sliding relative to the main machine to make different second accommodating grooves and the first accommodating groove form the accommodating space 40.

[0065] The second accommodating groove 21 formed with the first accommodating groove 11 can be in communication with the air outlet channel 13 and the first air inlet channel 14. The electrode part group 65 of the second heating assembly 60 corresponding to the second accommodating groove 21 formed with the first accommodating groove 11 can be electrically connected with the electrode group 202. Thus, each second heating assembly 60 is used to heat the aerosol generating article 30 in the accommodating space 40 formed by the second accommodating groove 21 and the first accommodating groove 11 in cooperation with the first heating assembly 50. By providing at least two accommodating grooves, the user can not need to frequently supplement the cartridge 20 with aerosol generating articles, and can supplement more aerosol generating articles at a time. For example, in the embodiments of Figure 9 and Figure 10 , the number of the second accommodating grooves 21 is three, each second accommodating groove 21 can accommodate one aerosol generating article 30, and the number of the second heating assemblies 60 is three, each second heating assembly 60 can define one second accommodating groove 21.

[0066] When one second accommodating groove 21 is used to form the accommodating space 40, the aerosol generating articles 30 in the other second accommodating grooves 21 are exposed from the cartridge 20, which are easy to absorb moisture and are not conducive to the storage of the aerosol generating articles 30. Therefore, the housing 10 can include a sealing shell 15 which can be arranged at the mounting port of the mounting space 12 to seal the mounting space 12 to avoid the aerosol generating articles 30 from absorbing moisture.

[0067] The present application also provides a heat-not-burn system including an aerosol generating article 30 and a heat-not-burn device. The aerosol generating article 30 of the heat-not-burn system can include a smoking substrate segment, and can omit the existing cooling segment for cooling and the filter segment for filtering and the like structure in the aerosol generating article 30. In some embodiments, the aerosol generating article 30 can include a functional segment in addition to the smoking substrate segment. The heat-not-burn device in the heat-not-burn system can be the heat-not-burn device involved in any of the above embodiments and achieve the same or similar functions, which will not be described here.

[0068] The above application of specific examples to illustrate the present invention, is only used to help understand the present invention, and does not limit the present invention. For the skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs, according to the idea of the present invention, several simple deductions, deformation or replacement can be made.
