Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aerosol generation technology, specifically to an aerosol generation device and aerosol generation system. Background Technology

[0002] The aerosol generation system includes an aerosol generation product and an aerosol generation device. The aerosol generation product stores an aerosol generation matrix. When the aerosol generation product is placed in the aerosol generation device, the aerosol generation device can convert the aerosol generation matrix into aerosols through heating or other means. The aerosols are then discharged from the aerosol generation system for users to inhale.

[0003] In related technologies, the number of times a single aerosol generating product can generate enough aerosol for a user to inhale is insufficient to meet the user's need for multiple consecutive inhalations. Furthermore, once the aerosol generating matrix in the aerosol generating product is depleted, the user needs to manually plug and unplug it for replacement, which reduces the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present application aims to provide an aerosol generating apparatus and an aerosol generating system capable of feeding an aerosol-generating article into a heating chamber to form an aerosol.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this application embodiment is implemented as follows:

[0006] This application provides an aerosol generating apparatus, comprising:

[0007] Heating assembly, including a heating chamber, for heating aerosol-generated articles;

[0008] A supply drive assembly includes a product driver and a product driver component, wherein the product driver and the product driver component drive each other to drive the product driver component to reciprocate along a first direction.

[0009] Along the first direction, a storage space is provided on one side of the heating assembly for storing aerosol-generated articles. The storage space has a first side and a second side opposite to each other along the first direction. The first side of the storage space is in communication with the heating chamber. At least a portion of the article driving member can enter the storage space from the second side of the storage space to apply a force to the aerosol-generated articles in the storage space to cause them to enter the heating chamber.

[0010] In some embodiments, the cavity of the heating chamber extends in the same direction as the first direction.

[0011] In some embodiments, the aerosol generating apparatus includes a transition air passage extending along the first direction and having its two ends connected to the storage space and the heating chamber, respectively, so that the aerosol-generated article can pass from the storage space through the transition air passage into the heating chamber.

[0012] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the transition airway is provided with guide ribs, which extend along the first direction;

[0013] And / or, along the first direction toward the heating chamber, at least a portion of the cross-section of the transition air passage perpendicular to the first direction gradually decreases.

[0014] In some embodiments, the heating chamber is open along the first direction away from the transition air passage to form an outlet. The aerosol generating device further includes a cover that is movably engaged with the outlet. The cover has an open state and a closed state. In the closed state, the cover is placed over the outlet. In the open state, the cover opens the outlet.

[0015] In some embodiments, the cover is provided with an air inlet or an air inlet groove, or, in the closed state, an air inlet or an air inlet groove is formed between the cover and the end face of the heating assembly where the outlet is located.

[0016] In some embodiments, the aerosol generating device further includes a housing with a waste chamber inside, and in the open state, the outlet is connected to the waste chamber.

[0017] In some embodiments, the supply drive assembly further includes a cover drive member, and the article driver and the cover drive member are driven to drive the cover drive member to reciprocate along the first direction to drive the cover to switch between the open state and the closed state.

[0018] In some embodiments, the article driver synchronously drives the cover driver and the article driver.

[0019] In some embodiments, the heating assembly further includes an external air passage located on one side of the transition air passage along the second direction and connecting the transition air passage to the outside of the aerosol generating device, wherein the first direction intersects the second direction.

[0020] In some embodiments, the supply drive assembly further includes a sealing ring disposed on the outer periphery of the article drive member, the sealing ring being used to at least partially block airflow between the transition air passage and the storage space.

[0021] In some embodiments, the heating assembly includes a heating wire, a heating tube, and a heat insulation element. The heating wire is wound around the outer periphery of the heating tube, the heating tube forms the heating cavity, and the heat insulation element is disposed at at least one end of the heating tube.

[0022] In some embodiments, the supply drive assembly further includes a base having a guide channel extending along the first direction, and at least a portion of the article drive is located within the guide channel and is capable of reciprocating within the guide channel along the first direction.

[0023] This application also provides an aerosol generation system, which includes an aerosol generation product and any of the aerosol generation devices described above, wherein the aerosol generation product is located within the storage space.

[0024] In some embodiments, the aerosol generating article has an air passage through the first direction, and / or the aerosol generating article includes an aerosol generating matrix segment, the aerosol generating matrix segment at least partially encapsulating aluminum foil.

[0025] In some embodiments, the aerosol generation system further includes an atomizing medium transport component and a conveying drive component. The atomizing medium transport component is located within the storage space, and a plurality of aerosol-generated products are spaced apart on the atomizing medium transport component. The conveying drive component drives the atomizing medium transport component to move, so that the plurality of aerosol-generated products move one by one to face the heating chamber.

[0026] In some embodiments, the atomizing medium transport assembly includes multiple storage cavities, and multiple aerosol generating products are respectively filled in the storage cavities, which extend through the first direction.

[0027] In some embodiments, the atomizing medium transport assembly consists of a ring structure formed by alternating arrangements of multiple connectors and storage components connected end to end, with the storage cavity formed inside the storage component.

[0028] In some embodiments, the delivery drive assembly includes a delivery driver and a drive wheel, the delivery driver being driven to the drive wheel to rotate the drive wheel, the drive wheel being located within the storage space, and a toothed gap being included between some adjacent storage components, the drive wheel having teeth that can engage into the toothed gap to drive the atomizing medium transport assembly to move.

[0029] In some embodiments, the aerosol generation system further includes a receiving box located within the storage space. The receiving box has a receiving space and two mounting slots. The atomizing medium transport assembly is located within the receiving space. The two mounting slots are located on opposite sides of the receiving space along the first direction. The mounting slots connect the receiving space and the storage space. At least a portion of the article drive can enter the receiving space along the first direction through one of the mounting slots to drive the aerosol-generated article out of the receiving space through the other mounting slot.

[0030] The aerosol generating device in this embodiment can transport the aerosol-generated product from the storage space to the heating chamber through the movement of the product driving component. This eliminates the need for users to manually add aerosol-generated products to the heating chamber, simplifying operation and improving the user experience. Furthermore, the reciprocating movement of the product driving component allows new aerosol-generated products to be transported from the storage space to the heating chamber, facilitating continuous aerosol production by the heating component. This helps meet the user's need for continuous aerosol extraction, further enhancing the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0071] This application provides an aerosol generating device 10, see below. Figures 1 to 6The aerosol generating device 10 drives the aerosol generating product 20 located in the storage space 10a into the heating chamber 11a by reciprocating the product driving member 122. This automatically replenishes the heating chamber 11a with new aerosol generating products 20, which helps to extend the number of times the user can pump the product and reduces the frequency of manually replacing the aerosol generating product 20.

[0072] This application also provides an aerosol generation system, see below. Figures 1 to 6 The aerosol generation system includes an aerosol generation article 20 and an aerosol generation device 10 as described in this embodiment. The aerosol generation article 20 is stored in the storage space 10a of the aerosol generation device 10 so that the article driving member 122 can drive it into the heating chamber 11a. The storage space 10a can store multiple aerosol generation articles 20.

[0073] Specifically, see Figures 1 to 6 The aerosol generating device 10 in this embodiment includes a heating component 11 and a supply driving component 12.

[0074] The heating assembly 11 includes a heating chamber 11a, which is used to heat the aerosol generating article 20 to generate an aerosol.

[0075] The supply drive assembly 12 includes a product driver 121 and a product driver 122, wherein the product driver 121 and the product driver 122 are driven to drive the product driver 122 to extend and retract along a first direction. (Reference) Figure 1 , 3 And 6, the first direction is the direction shown by X in the figure.

[0076] Along the first direction, a storage space 10a is provided on one side of the heating assembly 11. The storage space 10a is used to store the aerosol-generated article 20. The storage space 10a has a first side and a second side opposite to each other along the first direction. The first side of the storage space 10a is in communication with the heating chamber 11a. At least a portion of the article driving member 122 can enter the storage space 10a from the second side of the storage space 10a to apply a force to the aerosol-generated article 20 in the storage space 10a so that it enters the heating chamber 11a.

[0077] The heating chamber 11a is used to place the aerosol generating article 20 and to heat the aerosol generating matrix inside the aerosol generating article 20 to release aerosols.

[0078] At least a portion of the heating assembly 11 is spaced apart from the article driver 121 along a first direction, and the space between the two forms at least a portion of the storage space 10a.

[0079] The number of aerosol-generating products 20 that can be stored in the storage space 10a is unlimited; it can be one or more.

[0080] The product driver 121 is used to drive the product driver 122 to move telescopically in a first direction.

[0081] The specific form of the product driver 121 is not limited. It can be a slider for manual driving by the user, or it can include a motor to realize automatic control of the movement of the product driver 122.

[0082] The product driving component 122 moves telescopically in the first direction, which means that the product driving component 122 can move in two directions in the first direction.

[0083] The product drive 122 can be at least in the initial position and the feeding position by telescopic movement along the first direction. For example, the feeding position may be the position when the product drive 122 pushes the aerosol-generated product 20 into the heating chamber 11a, and the initial position may be the position of the product drive 122 before pushing the aerosol-generated product 20.

[0084] When the product driver 122 is in its initial position, the product driver 122 may not be located in the storage space 10a, thereby reducing the probability of interference between the product driver 122 and the aerosol-generated product 20 in the storage space 10a.

[0085] It is understood that, with the article drive 122 in its initial position, at least a portion of the projection of at least one aerosol-generating article 20 lies within the projection range of the article drive 122 in a projection plane perpendicular to the first direction. In other words, the article drive 122 is at least partially aligned or coaxial with at least one aerosol-generating article 20 in the first direction.

[0086] Understandably, the heating chamber 11a is open along the first direction on the side closest to the storage space 10a so that the aerosol-generating article 20 can enter.

[0087] During the process of the product driving member 122 moving from the initial position to the feeding position along the first direction, the product driving member 122 can continuously apply force to at least one aerosol generating product 20 in the storage space 10a, so that it moves away from the storage space 10a along the first direction and enters the heating chamber 11a from the open position along the first direction, until the aerosol generating product 20 reaches the preset heating position in the heating chamber 11a. At this time, the product driving member 122 has moved to the feeding position.

[0088] The aerosol generating device 10 in this embodiment can transport the aerosol generating product 20 in the storage space 10a to the heating chamber 11a through the movement of the product driving member 122. Users do not need to manually add new aerosol generating products 20 to the heating chamber 11a frequently, which simplifies the operation and improves the user experience. The reciprocating movement of the product driving member 122 can transport new aerosol generating products 20 from the storage space 10a to the heating chamber 11a, which is conducive to the continuous production of aerosol by the heating component 11, thereby meeting the user's need for continuous aerosol extraction and improving the user experience.

[0089] It should be noted that the first side and the second side of the first direction are used to distinguish the two opposite sides of the first direction, rather than to specifically indicate a particular side.

[0090] It is understood that in embodiments where multiple aerosol-generated articles 20 are stored in storage space 10a, under the driving action of article driver 121, article driver 122 can retract from the feeding position to the initial position so that the article driver 122 can move from the initial position to the feeding position the next time.

[0091] The way the product driving member 122 applies force to the aerosol generating product 20 is not limited. For example, the product driving member 122 can abut against a single aerosol generating product 20 along the first direction and push it directly into the heating chamber 11a. This helps to reduce the energy consumption required to drive the product driving member 122 and simplifies control. Alternatively, multiple aerosol generating products 20 are arranged in a row along the first direction. The product driving member 122 can abut against the first aerosol generating product 20 in the row along the first direction, thereby pushing the entire row of aerosol generating products 20 to move until the last aerosol generating product in the row enters the heating chamber 11a. This helps to reduce the stroke of the product driving member 122 and increase the total number of aerosol generating products 20 that can be drawn.

[0092] In some embodiments, the cavity of the heating chamber 11a extends in the same direction as the first direction.

[0093] This facilitates the product drive component 122 in pushing the aerosol-generated product 20 into the heating chamber 11a.

[0094] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The aerosol generating device 10 includes an air inlet channel 10b and an air outlet channel 10c, both of which are connected to the heating chamber 11a and the outside of the aerosol generating device 10.

[0095] During the process of the user inhaling the aerosol, due to the negative pressure, the air outside the aerosol generating device 10 forms an airflow that enters the air intake channel 10b and further enters the heating chamber 11a. The aerosol in the heating chamber 11a mixes with the airflow and is then discharged from the aerosol generating device 10 through the air outlet channel 10c for the user to inhale.

[0096] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The heating assembly 11 includes a transition air passage 11b that extends along a first direction and connects the storage space 10a and the heating chamber 11a, so that the aerosol-generated article 20 can pass from the storage space 10a through the transition air passage 11b into the heating chamber 11a. The transition air passage 11b also forms a partial airflow channel for the flow of aerosol.

[0097] During the process of the aerosol-generated product 20 being moved by the product drive 122, the aerosol-generated product 20 can enter from the storage space 10a into the transition air passage 11b, and then enter from the transition air passage 11b into the heating chamber 11a.

[0098] Thus, the transition air passage 11b serves both as a channel for airflow and as a channel for the aerosol-generated product 20 to enter the heating chamber 11a. This simplifies the internal structure of the aerosol-generating device 10, making its structure more compact. It also reduces the number of openings in the heating chamber 11a, thereby reducing heat loss and improving the heating efficiency of the aerosol-generated product 20.

[0099] Understandably, during the user's aerosol aspiration process, the aerosol generating article 20 located in the storage space 10a can partially block the connection between the transition airway 11b and the storage space 10a, thereby reducing the probability of airflow in the transition airway 11b entering the storage space 10a or air in the storage space 10a entering the transition airway 11b, thus improving the airtightness of the space formed by the inlet channel 10b, the outlet channel 10c, and the heating chamber 11a. In some embodiments, a sealing ring can also be provided at the connection between the storage space 10a and the transition airway 11b to further avoid or reduce the impact of aerosol on the aerosol generating article 20 stored in the storage space 10a. The sealing ring allows the aerosol generating article 20 to pass through without causing any obstruction.

[0100] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 In a projection plane perpendicular to the first direction, the projection of the heating cavity 11a lies within the projection range of the transition air passage 11b. In other words, the heating cavity 11a is aligned with or coaxially arranged with the transition air passage 11b.

[0101] This facilitates the smooth entry of the aerosol-generated product 20 into the heating chamber 11a, reducing the risk of the aerosol-generated product 20 being blocked and stuck when passing through the junction of the heating chamber 11a and the transition air passage 11b.

[0102] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 17 The inner wall of the transition airway 11b is provided with guide ribs 11c, which extend along the first direction.

[0103] By using guide ribs 11c, the contact area between the aerosol generating product 20 and the heating component 11 can be reduced when the aerosol generating product 20 moves within the transition air passage 11b, thereby reducing friction and making the movement of the aerosol generating product 20 smoother.

[0104] The number of guide ribs 11c is multiple, and the multiple guide ribs 11c are evenly arranged circumferentially about the axis extending along the first direction. Alternatively, the height of the guide ribs 11c gradually increases from the storage space 10a to the heating chamber 11a to ensure coaxiality and facilitate the alignment and movement of the sol-generated product 20.

[0105] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 17 Along the first direction toward the heating chamber 11a, at least a portion of the cross section of the transition air passage 11b perpendicular to the first direction gradually decreases.

[0106] In this way, the movement of the aerosol-generated product 20 can be guided, making it easier for the aerosol-generated product 20 to smoothly enter the heating chamber 11a.

[0107] It is understandable that, in the projection plane perpendicular to the first direction, the projection of the heating chamber 11a is located within the projection range of the opening of the transition air passage 11b on the side near the heating chamber 11a, so that the aerosol-generated article 20 can smoothly enter the transition air passage 11b.

[0108] In some embodiments, the surface of the guide rib 11c away from the inner wall of the transition air passage 11b is an inclined surface that forms an angle with the straight direction of the first direction and the inclined surface faces the storage space 10a.

[0109] In this way, it guides the movement of the aerosol-generating product 20, making it easier for the aerosol-generating product 20 to enter the heating chamber 11a.

[0110] In some embodiments, in a projection plane perpendicular to the first direction, the projection of the heating cavity 11a coincides with the projection of the opening of the transition air passage 11b on the side near the heating cavity 11a.

[0111] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 17 The heating chamber 11a is open on the side opposite to the transition air passage 11b along the first direction.

[0112] In other words, the heating chamber 11a is through in the first direction, and the airflow formed by the external air of the aerosol generating device 10 enters the heating chamber 11a on one side of the first direction and leaves the heating chamber 11a on the other side. The airflow can pass directly through the heating chamber 11a in the first direction, shortening the air intake path and facilitating the removal of aerosols, thereby improving the user experience.

[0113] It is understandable that after the aerosol generating matrix in the aerosol generating article 20 in the heating chamber 11a is exhausted, it needs to be discharged from the heating chamber 11a so that new aerosol generating articles 20 can enter the heating chamber 11a.

[0114] For example, see Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The heating chamber 11a forms an outlet 11aa in an open position on the side opposite to the transition air passage 11b along the first direction. The aerosol generating device 10 also includes a cover 13, which is movably coupled with the heating component 11 and is movably disposed at the end face of the outlet 11aa. The cover 13 has an open state and a closed state. In the closed state, the cover 13 covers the outlet 11aa, and in the open state, the cover 13 opens the outlet 11aa.

[0115] The movable cooperation between the cover 13 and the heating component 11 means that the position of the cover 13 relative to the outlet 11aa can change under the action of external force.

[0116] Understandably, the cover 13 is movably connected to the heating assembly 11.

[0117] In the closed state, the cover 13 covers the outlet 11aa, preventing the aerosol-generating article 20 in the heating chamber 11a from passing through the outlet 11aa, thereby restricting the movement range of the aerosol-generating article 20 within the heating chamber 11a. This also reduces heat loss from the heating chamber 11a and controls the suction resistance within a reasonable range.

[0118] After the aerosol in the aerosol generating article 20 is depleted, the aerosol generating article 20 is moved toward the discharge port 11aa in the heating chamber 11a by an external force.

[0119] It is understood that in the open state, the cover 13 is in a first position range relative to the heating component 11; in the closed state, the cover 13 is in a second position range relative to the heating component 11. Under the force of the driving component, the cover 13 can move from the first position range to the second position range, or from the second position range to the first position range.

[0120] In the open state, the cover 13 no longer covers the outlet 11aa, allowing the aerosol generating article 20 to pass through the outlet 11aa and exit outside the heating assembly 11, thereby enabling new aerosol generating articles 20 to enter the heating chamber 11a to generate aerosols.

[0121] Thus, the cover 13 switches from the closed state to the open state, and the product drive 122 applies a force to the depleted aerosol generating product 20 in the heating chamber 11a, so that the depleted aerosol generating product 20 moves along the first direction toward the outlet 11aa until it is discharged from the outlet 11aa into the heating chamber 11a. Then the cover 13 switches from the open state to the closed state, so that new aerosol generating products 20 in the heating chamber 11a can continue to generate aerosol, so that the user can continuously inhale aerosol for a longer period of time.

[0122] It is understandable that the product driving component 122 may directly abut against the depleted aerosol generating product 20 along the first direction to push the depleted aerosol generating product 20 directly out of the heating chamber 11a, and then return to the initial position to transport a new aerosol generating product 20 into the heating chamber 11a; or it may directly push one or more new aerosol generating products 20 along the first direction, and the new aerosol generating products 20 push the depleted aerosol generating product 20 out of the heating chamber 11a.

[0123] It is understandable that the aerosol-generating product 20 in the heating chamber 11a is heated when the cover 13 is closed in order to improve heating efficiency.

[0124] In some embodiments, the cover 13 is rotatably connected to the heating assembly 11 so that the cover 13 can rotate relative to the heating assembly 11.

[0125] The specific method by which airflow enters or exits the heating chamber 11a from the outlet 11aa is not limited.

[0126] In some embodiments, the cover 13 is provided with an air inlet or an air inlet groove.

[0127] An air inlet or air inlet slot is provided for communication with the external air of the aerosol generating device 10, so that the airflow formed by the external air enters the heating chamber 11a through the air inlet or air inlet slot.

[0128] Thus, by forming part of the airflow path within the aerosol generating device 10 through the air inlet or air inlet slot, the outlet 11aa can both discharge the depleted aerosol-generated product 20 and achieve the purpose of airflow entering or exiting the heating chamber 11a, thereby improving the space utilization rate inside the aerosol generating device 10.

[0129] In some embodiments, in the closed state, an air inlet or air inlet groove is formed between the end face of the cover 13 and the outlet 11aa.

[0130] In other words, when closed, the cover 13 and the heating component 11 work together to form an air inlet or air inlet slot.

[0131] In some embodiments where an air inlet is provided on the cover 13, see [reference]. Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figures 9 to 11 The rotation axis is perpendicular to the first direction. The heating component 11 is provided with a transfer air hole 11d, which is connected to the outside of the aerosol generating device 10. The cover 13 is provided with a guide groove 13a and / or a guide hole 13b. The guide groove 13a and the guide hole 13b together form an air inlet. The guide groove 13a is open on the side facing the outlet 11aa. The guide hole 13b is located on the side of the guide groove 13a perpendicular to the opening direction of the guide groove 13a. In the closed state, the cover 13 is in contact with the heating component 11. The guide hole 13b connects the guide groove 13a and the transfer air hole 11d. The guide groove 13a is connected to the outlet 11aa through the open position.

[0132] In the closed state, an airflow path is formed, consisting of a transfer vent 11d, a guide vent 13b, a guide groove 13a, an outlet 11aa, and a heating chamber 11a.

[0133] The cover 13 is fitted to the heating component 11, which reduces the probability of airflow entering or leaving the air guide groove 13a through the gap between the cover 13 and the heating component 11, which helps to improve air tightness and heat preservation.

[0134] In some embodiments, see Figure 10 and Figure 11 The connecting air hole 11d, the air guide hole 13b, and the air guide groove 13a form part of the air intake channel 10b.

[0135] Understandably, in the closed state, the air guide groove 13a is open on one side along the first direction to connect with the heating chamber 11a.

[0136] In some embodiments, in the closed state, the projection of the outlet 11aa is located within the projection range of the open opening of the air guide groove 13a in the projection plane perpendicular to the first direction, so that the airflow can enter and exit the heating chamber 11a more smoothly from the air guide groove 13a and reduce the airflow resistance.

[0137] It is understandable that since the aerosol generating product 20 is formed by heating, the temperature of the residual part is relatively high after the aerosol generating matrix in the aerosol generating product 20 is exhausted. Therefore, it is necessary to have a reasonable discharge design for the heated aerosol generating product 20.

[0138] In some embodiments, see Figure 10 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 The aerosol generating device 10 also includes a housing 14, and a waste chamber 10d is provided inside the housing 14. In the open state, the discharge port 11aa is connected to the waste chamber 10d.

[0139] In other words, the aerosol-generated product 20 discharged from the outlet 11aa is not directly discharged outside the aerosol generating device 10, but is first discharged from the outlet 11aa and then enters the waste chamber 10d for storage.

[0140] This allows the depleted aerosol-generating article 20 discharged from outlet 11aa to cool within the waste chamber 10d, reducing the risk of burns from contact with the discharged depleted aerosol-generating article 20 and improving the user experience. In some embodiments, the inner wall of the waste chamber 10d is provided with heat-insulating material to prevent the temperature of the housing 14 from becoming too high, or multiple protruding structures are provided on the inner wall of the waste chamber 10d to reduce the contact area between the aerosol-generating article 20 and the inner wall and increase the heat conduction path.

[0141] In some embodiments, see Figure 10 The movable space of the cover 13 can be connected to the waste cavity 10d, which can save space and also help to reduce the obstruction of the movement of the cover 13 by external objects through the shielding of the shell 14.

[0142] In some embodiments, see Figure 10 and Figure 14 The housing 14 has an installation space 14a, and at least a portion of the heating assembly 11 is located within the installation space 14a.

[0143] The housing 14 forms at least part of the outer surface of the aerosol generating device 10 and provides some protection for the heating assembly 11.

[0144] Understandably, a portion of the inner wall of the installation space 14a forms a waste cavity 10d with the heating assembly 11 at intervals.

[0145] In some embodiments where the transition vent 11d is provided, see [reference]. Figure 9 and Figure 11 The housing 14 is provided with a first air inlet 14b, which connects the installation space 14a with the outside of the aerosol generating device 10. The aerosol generating device also includes a sealing element 15, which is located on the heating assembly 11 and at least partially within the installation space 14a. A portion of the housing 14 and the sealing element 15 are sealed together and spaced apart from another portion to form a transfer air passage 10e, which connects the first air inlet 14b and the transfer air inlet 11d.

[0146] This creates an airflow path consisting of the first air inlet 14b, the connecting air passage 10e, and the connecting air hole 11d, allowing external airflow to enter and exit the heating chamber 11a.

[0147] Understandably, the seal 15 is made of elastic materials such as silicone rubber and fluororubber to improve its sealing performance.

[0148] In some embodiments, the transition air passage 10e and the first air inlet 14b form at least a portion of the air intake passage 10b.

[0149] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The supply drive assembly 12 also includes a cover drive 123. The product driver 121 and the cover drive 123 are connected to drive the cover drive 123 to reciprocate along a first direction, so as to drive the cover 13 to switch between an open state and a closed state.

[0150] In other words, both the cover drive 123 and the product drive 122 are driven by the product driver 121.

[0151] This simplifies the motion control of the cover drive 123 and the product drive 122, and facilitates the coordinated control of the sequence between the discharge action of the aerosol-generated product 20 and the opening action of the cover 13. On the other hand, it simplifies the structure of the aerosol generating device 10, reduces the number of parts, makes the structure more compact, and also helps to reduce manufacturing costs.

[0152] In some embodiments, the article driver 121 synchronously drives the cover driver 123 and the article driver 122.

[0153] In other words, the product drive component 122 and the cover drive component 123 can start moving and stop moving at the same time.

[0154] This simplifies the motion control of the cover drive 123 and the product drive 122, and simplifies the related structures for driving and controlling the motion of the cover drive 123 and the product drive 122.

[0155] The specific form of the product driver 121 is not limited.

[0156] For example, see Figure 1 The product driver 121 includes a product drive motor 1211, a screw 1213, and a drive base 1214. The screw 1213 extends along a first direction and is threadedly engaged with the cover drive member 123.

[0157] In an embodiment comprising a product drive motor 1211, a reduction mechanism 1212, and a screw 1213, see [reference needed]. Figure 1 The product driver 121 also includes a drive base 1214, a screw 1213 passing through the drive base 1214 and the two are threaded together, a product drive motor 1211 drives the screw 1213 to rotate, and both the cover drive component 123 and the product drive component 122 are connected to the drive base 1214.

[0158] In this way, the synchronous movement of the cover drive component 123 and the product drive component 122 is achieved; the use of screw 1213 for drive ensures smooth transmission and facilitates more precise control of the moving positions of the cover drive component 123 and the product drive component 122.

[0159] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The product driver 121 also includes a reduction mechanism 1212. The output shaft of the product drive motor 1211 is driven to the input end of the reduction mechanism 1212, and the output end of the reduction mechanism 1212 is driven to the screw 1213.

[0160] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The heating assembly 11 also includes an external air passage 11e, which is located on one side of the transition air passage 11b along the second direction and connects the transition air passage 11b to the outside of the aerosol generating device 10. The first direction intersects the second direction. In some embodiments, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0161] Through the external airway 11e, the aerosol can pass through the transition airway 11b and flow into the external airway 11e, and finally the aerosol flows out of the aerosol generating device 10 and reaches the user's mouth. In other words, one end of the external airway 11e can be connected to a mouthpiece for the user to inhale.

[0162] The connection point between the transition air passage 11b and the external air passage 11e is located on the side wall of the transition air passage 11b along the second direction, so that the arrangement of the external air passage 11e will not interfere with the opening of the heating chamber 11a along the first direction and the movement of the product drive member 122 along the first direction. This is beneficial to improving the space utilization rate inside the aerosol generation device 10 and making the structure more compact.

[0163] In some embodiments, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0164] During the user's inhalation of the aerosol, the second direction is roughly vertical, and the external airway 11e is located on the top side of the transition airway 11b to reduce the risk of debris generated after the aerosol product 20 is heated falling through the external airway 11e.

[0165] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 The transition airway 11b and the external airway 11e together form part of the exhaust airway 10c.

[0166] It is understood that when the product drive 122 is in the feeding position, at least a portion of the product drive 122 is located within the transition air passage 11b. In order to enable the product drive 122 to move within the transition air passage 11b along the first direction, the product drive 122 and the inner wall of the transition air passage 11b are at least partially spaced apart perpendicular to the first direction.

[0167] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 The supply drive assembly 12 also includes a sealing ring 124 disposed on the outer periphery of the article drive 122, the sealing ring 124 being used to at least partially block the airflow between the transition air passage 11b and the storage space 10a.

[0168] This makes it difficult for aerosols in the heating chamber 11a to enter the storage space 10a, helps maintain the concentration of aerosols in the outflow gas stream, improves the user's suction experience, and reduces the risk of corrosion damage to the product driver 121 after aerosol diffusion. It also reduces the adverse effects of negative pressure forming in the aerosol generation device 10 during the user's suction process when gas in the storage space 10a enters the transition air channel 11b.

[0169] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 A portion of the product driving member 122 passes through the sealing ring along the first direction. The product driving member 122 can move to the middle position. When the product driving member 122 is in the middle position, the sealing ring is located on the side away from the heating chamber 11a along the first direction at the communication position between the external air passage 11e and the transition air passage 11b, and is sandwiched between the inner wall of the transition air passage 11b and the product driving member 122.

[0170] The intermediate position refers to the position where the product drive 122 moves along the first direction to a position between the initial position and the feeding position.

[0171] With the product drive 122 in the middle position, the sealing ring can seal the gap between the product drive 122 and the inner wall of the transition air passage 11b, so as to isolate the storage space 10a and the heating chamber 11a, making it difficult for gas exchange between the two.

[0172] In some embodiments, the product drive member 122 has a sealing ring groove on the periphery of an axis extending in a first direction, and at least a portion of the sealing ring is embedded in the sealing ring groove so that the relative position of the sealing ring and the product drive member 122 is fixed.

[0173] The specific structural form of the heating component 11 is not limited.

[0174] For example, see Figure 4 , Figure 16 and Figure 17 The heating assembly 11 includes a heating kit 111, a mounting base 112, and a fixing base 113. The mounting base 112 is provided with a transition air passage 11b and an external air passage 11e. The fixing base 113 is fitted to the mounting base 112 along a first direction. The heating kit 111 is located on the side of the transition air passage 11b away from the storage space 10a along the first direction. The heating cavity 11a is located inside the heating kit 111.

[0175] Both the transition air passage 11b and the external air passage 11e are located on the mounting base 112 so that they can be manufactured simultaneously, which is beneficial to improving manufacturing efficiency. At the same time, the connection position of the transition air passage 11b and the external air passage 11e and themselves have no seams, which improves the airtightness of both.

[0176] The heating assembly 111 is clamped and fixed by the contact of the fixing seat 113 and the mounting seat 112 along the first direction.

[0177] Heating kit 111 is used to generate heat to heat the aerosol-generated article 20 through thermal radiation and heat exchange.

[0178] The specific method by which the fixing base 113 and the mounting base 112 are fixed is not limited. For example, the fixing base 113 and the mounting base 112 can be fixed by adhesive bonding; or, one of the fixing base 113 and the mounting base 112 can be provided with a through hole and the other with a threaded hole, and a screw can be passed through the through hole and threaded in the threaded hole to achieve thread engagement for fixing. Alternatively, a snap-fit ​​engagement can also be used.

[0179] The specific structural form of the heating kit 111 is not limited.

[0180] For example, see Figure 16 and Figure 17 The heating kit 111 includes a heating wire 1111, a heating tube 1112, and two heat insulation members 1113. Each heat insulation member 1113 has a heat insulation channel 1113a extending along a first direction. The two heat insulation members 1113 are spaced apart along the first direction so that the heating tube 1112 is sandwiched between them. The heating wire 1111 is wound around the outer periphery of the heating tube 1112, forming a heating cavity 1112a inside the heating tube 1112. The heat insulation members 1113 are disposed at at least one end of the heating tube 1112. Alternatively, the heating wire 1111 may not contact the outer wall of the heating tube 1112, maintaining a gap of 0.1mm-1.0mm, so that the medium inside the heating cavity 1112a is heated primarily by infrared radiation.

[0181] The heating wire 1111 can convert electrical energy into heat energy and transfer the heat energy to the heating tube 1112. The heating wire 1111 is wrapped around the outside of the heating tube 1112 so that the heat received by the heating tube 1112 is more evenly distributed.

[0182] The heating chamber 1112a inside the heating tube 1112 is used to place the aerosol generating article 20. The heating tube 1112 can form a heat transfer path with the aerosol generating article 20 inside the heating chamber 1112a, so as to transfer part of the heat of the heating wire 1111 to the aerosol generating article 20, thereby causing the aerosol generating article 20 to generate aerosol by heating.

[0183] The heat insulation element 1113 is used to fix the heating tube 1112 and reduce the heat transfer from the heating tube 1112 to the fixing base 113 and the mounting base 112. On the one hand, it improves the heating efficiency of the heating tube 1112 on the aerosol generating product 20; on the other hand, it reduces the risk of heat damage to the fixing base 113 and the mounting base 112. It is understood that there can be only one heat insulation element 1113, which is set at either end of the heating tube 1112.

[0184] It is understandable that the aerosol-generated article 20 can pass through the transition air passage 11b and the heat insulation passage 1113a into the heating chamber 1112a.

[0185] One heat insulation element 1113 is attached to the mounting base 112 along the first direction and its heat insulation channel 1113a is connected to the transition air channel 11b, and the other heat insulation element 1113 is attached to the fixing base 113 along the first direction.

[0186] The heat insulation channel 1113a of the heat insulation member 1113 away from the mounting base 112 along the first direction forms an outlet 11aa on the side away from the heating chamber 1112a.

[0187] The specific material of the thermal insulation component 1113 is not limited, such as ceramic.

[0188] The specific material of the heating element 1112 is not limited, such as metal, quartz, transparent ceramic, etc.

[0189] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The aerosol generating apparatus 10 also includes a power supply component 16, which is electrically connected to the product driver 121 to provide electrical energy to the product driver 121, so that the product driver 121 can convert electrical energy into mechanical energy to drive the product driver 122 to move.

[0190] In some embodiments, the power supply assembly 16 and the heating wire 1111 are electrically connected to provide electrical energy to the heating wire 1111, which then converts the electrical energy into heat energy. This allows both components to share a single power source, simplifying the structure of the aerosol generating device 10 and making it more compact.

[0191] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The supply drive assembly 12 also includes a base 125, which has a guide channel 125a that extends along a first direction. At least a portion of the product drive member 122 is located within the guide channel 125a and is capable of reciprocating within the guide channel 125a along the first direction.

[0192] A portion of the product drive 122 can extend or retract from the open position of the guide channel 125a along a first direction.

[0193] The guide channel 125a can guide and limit the movement of the product drive 122, suppress the displacement of the product drive 122 in other directions, and help make the movement of the product drive 122 more stable.

[0194] In some embodiments where a base 125 is provided, an article driver 121 is mounted on the base 125.

[0195] In some embodiments with a drive seat 1214, the base 125 has a drive groove located on one side of the guide channel 125a perpendicular to the first direction and communicating along the first direction. The drive groove extends perpendicularly through the first direction to connect the guide channel 125a with the outside of the base 125. A portion of the drive seat 1214 or a portion of the product drive member 122 can pass through the drive groove to connect the drive seat 1214 and the product drive member 122. This helps to reduce the size of the supply drive assembly 12 along the first direction, making the structure of the supply drive assembly 12 more compact.

[0196] It is understood that, in order for the product drive 122 to move within the guide channel 125a along the first direction, the product drive 122 and the inner wall of the guide channel 125a are at least partially spaced apart in a direction perpendicular to the first direction.

[0197] In some embodiments where a sealing ring is provided, see [reference]. Figure 4 The sealing ring is fitted between the inner wall of the guide channel 125a and the product drive component 122.

[0198] With the product drive 122 in its initial position, the sealing ring can seal the gap between the product drive 122 and the inner wall of the guide channel 125a to isolate the storage space 10a from at least a portion of the guide channel 125a.

[0199] Thus, with the product drive 122 in its initial position and the heating assembly 11 heating the aerosol-generated product 20, it is advantageous to prevent the aerosol in the heating chamber 11a from diffusing to other areas of the aerosol generating device 10 through the guide channel 125a. This helps maintain the concentration of the aerosol in the outflow gas stream, improving the user's inhalation experience. At the same time, it reduces the risk of corrosion damage caused by the aerosol coming into contact with other components in the aerosol generating device 10 after diffusion. It also reduces the adverse effects on the movement of the product drive 122 caused by debris falling off the aerosol-generated product 20 in the storage space 10a entering the guide channel 125a.

[0200] It is understandable that after the aerosol generating product 20 in the storage space 10a is used up, it is necessary to replenish the aerosol generating product 20 in the storage space 10a.

[0201] In some embodiments including housing 14, see Figure 9 and Figure 12 The housing 14 includes an atomizing sub-shell 141 and a supply sub-shell 142. The supply drive assembly 12 is disposed in the supply sub-shell 142, and the heating assembly 11 is disposed in the atomizing sub-shell 141 and together they form a storage sub-tank 10f. One side of the storage sub-tank 10f is open. The supply sub-shell 142 and the atomizing sub-shell 141 are movably or detachably configured so that the aerosol generating device 10 can switch between working state and feeding state.

[0202] In the working state, the supply drive assembly 12 and the supply sub-shell 142 cover the open position of the storage sub-slot 10f to form the storage space 10a.

[0203] In the feeding state, the storage sub-tank 10f is externally connected to the aerosol generating device 10 so that the aerosol generating article 20 can enter the storage sub-tank 10f.

[0204] The supply sub-shell 142 and the atomizing sub-shell 141 are movable, meaning that they can rotate, translate, or otherwise move relative to each other; they are detachable, meaning that the supply sub-shell 142 and the atomizing sub-shell 141 can be completely separated or connected.

[0205] By supplying the sub-shell 142 and the atomizing sub-shell 141 to move relative to each other or to separate them, the aerosol generating device 10 is put into a feeding state, and a new aerosol generated product 20 can be placed into the storage sub-tank 10f through the open position of the storage sub-tank 10f. The inner wall of the storage sub-tank 10f constrains the position of the aerosol generated product 20, which helps to keep the aerosol generated product 20 in a preset position, making it easier for the subsequent product driving component 122 to drive it into the heating chamber 11a.

[0206] By supplying the sub-shell 142 to move relative to or connect and fix the atomizing sub-shell 141, the open position of the storage tank is closed to form a storage space 10a, so that the product driving member 122 can drive the aerosol generating product 20 in the storage space 10a and prevent the aerosol generating product 20 in the storage space 10a from falling out of the aerosol generating device 10.

[0207] In some embodiments, the storage sub-slot 10f is open along a first direction on the side opposite to the heating chamber 11a.

[0208] In some embodiments, see Figure 12 The supply sub-shell 142 and the atomizing sub-shell 141 are hinged together and can rotate relative to each other, so that the supply sub-shell 142 and the atomizing sub-shell 141 are in a movable configuration.

[0209] The rotation axis between the supply subshell 142 and the atomizing subshell 141 is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0210] In some embodiments including power supply component 16, see [reference] Figure 14 The power supply assembly 16 is located inside either the supply sub-shell 142 or the atomizing sub-shell 141 to protect the power supply assembly 16 and reduce the adverse effects on the power supply assembly 16 during the switching of the aerosol generating device 10 between the working state and the feeding state.

[0211] In some embodiments, see Figure 18 The aerosol generating product 20 is provided with an air passage 20a that extends along a first direction.

[0212] The airflow in the heating chamber 11a can pass through the aerosol generating product 20 in the first direction. On the one hand, this is beneficial for the airflow to mix more fully with the aerosol generated by the aerosol generating product 20, thereby increasing the amount of smoke and improving the user experience. On the other hand, it is beneficial for reducing the obstruction of the airflow by the aerosol generating product 20, thereby reducing the suction resistance felt by the user during inhalation and improving the user experience.

[0213] In some embodiments, see Figure 18The aerosol-generating article 20 has a cylindrical structure with its axial direction along the first direction and a size ranging from 2 mm to 8 mm, and a diameter ranging from 3 mm to 8 mm.

[0214] The specific dimensions of the aerosol-generated product 20 along the first direction can be 2mm, 4mm, 4.5mm, 5mm, 5.5mm, 6mm, 8mm, etc.

[0215] The specific dimensions of the diameter of the aerosol-generated product 20 can be 3mm, 5mm, 5.1mm, 5.2mm, 5.3mm, 5.4mm, 5.5mm, 5.6mm, 5.7mm, 5.8mm, 5.9mm, 6mm, 8mm, etc.

[0216] In some embodiments, the aerosol generating article includes only the aerosol generating matrix segment 21. In other embodiments, the aerosol generating article includes the aerosol generating matrix segment 21 and a thermally conductive layer. The matrix segment has a cylindrical structure with its axial direction along a first direction. The thermally conductive layer is applied to the peripheral surface of the matrix segment perpendicular to the axial direction. The matrix segment includes the aerosol generating matrix. The thermal conductivity of the material of the thermally conductive layer is greater than that of the material of the matrix segment.

[0217] The heat-conducting layer allows the substrate to be heated more evenly and quickly during the heating process, thereby improving the user experience.

[0218] In some embodiments, see Figure 18 The aerosol generating article 20 includes an aerosol generating matrix section 21, which at least partially encapsulates aluminum foil 22. The aerosol generating matrix section 21 is cylindrical and has axially extending air passages inside.

[0219] Thus, the excellent thermal conductivity of aluminum foil 22 makes the aerosol generation matrix section 21 more uniformly heated.

[0220] Understandably, aluminum foil 22 forms a thermally conductive layer.

[0221] It is understandable that in embodiments where multiple aerosol generating articles 20 are stored in the storage space 10a, the position of the aerosol generating articles 20 needs to be changed frequently so that each aerosol generating article 20 can enter the heating chamber 11a in sequence under the drive of the article driving member 122.

[0222] For example, see Figure 4 and Figure 15The aerosol generation system also includes an atomizing medium transport component 30 and a conveying drive component 40. The atomizing medium transport component 30 is located in the storage space 10a. Multiple aerosol generation products 20 are spaced apart in the atomizing medium transport component 30. The conveying drive component 40 works in conjunction with the atomizing medium transport component 30 to drive the atomizing medium transport component 30 to move, so that the multiple aerosol generation products 20 move one by one to be directly opposite the heating chamber 11a.

[0223] Under the action of the conveying drive component 40, the atomizing medium transport component 30 drives the aerosol generating product 20 to move, so that the position of the aerosol generating product 20 in the storage space 10a changes, so that each of the multiple aerosol generating products 20 can move to the preset feeding position in the storage space 10a in turn, so as to be directly opposite the heating chamber 11a.

[0224] The preset replenishment position is the position in the storage space 10a where the product driving member 122 can apply force to the aerosol-generated product 20. When the aerosol-generated product 20 is located in the preset replenishment position, the movement of the product driving member 122 can drive the aerosol-generated product 20 in the preset replenishment position to move and leave the storage space 10a, and finally enter the heating chamber 11a.

[0225] The aerosol generating article 20 is directly opposite the heating chamber 11a, meaning that in a projection plane perpendicular to the first direction, the projection of the aerosol generating article 20 is located within the projection range of the opening of the heating chamber 11a along the first direction near the storage space 10a.

[0226] By repeating the above steps, the atomizing medium transport component 30 is driven to move by the transport drive component 40, so that each aerosol generating product 20 on the atomizing medium transport component 30 can sequentially reach the preset replenishment position and be continuously fed into the heating chamber 11a, so that the user can perform continuous multiple suctions, and it also helps to simplify the user's operation of replenishing new aerosol generating products 20 into the heating chamber 11a.

[0227] It is understandable that when the aerosol generating device 10 is in operation, the conveying drive component 40 can drive the atomizing medium transport component 30 to move.

[0228] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 When at least one aerosol-generating article 20 is in a preset feeding position, the article drive 122 is in the initial position.

[0229] In some embodiments, see Figure 15 and Figure 19The atomizing medium transport component 30 includes multiple storage cavities 30a, and multiple aerosol generating products 20 are respectively filled in the storage cavities 30a, which extend through the first direction.

[0230] By loading the storage cavity 30a, the aerosol generating product 20 can be encapsulated, so that the aerosol generating product 20 can move with the atomizing medium transport component 30. At the same time, it can protect the aerosol generating product 20 and reduce the risk of damage to the aerosol generating product 20 during movement.

[0231] The article drive 122 can extend into the storage cavity 30a from one open position along the first direction and abut against the aerosol generating article 20 to push the aerosol generating article 20 out of the storage cavity 30a from the other open position along the first direction.

[0232] The specific structural form of the conveyor drive assembly 40 is not limited.

[0233] For example, see Figure 14 and Figure 15 The delivery drive assembly 40 includes a delivery driver 41 and a drive wheel 42. The delivery driver 41 is driven to drive the drive wheel 42 to rotate. The drive wheel 42 is located in the storage space 10a. The atomizing medium transport assembly 30 includes a plurality of tooth gaps 30b. Some adjacent storage units 31 are separated by tooth gaps 30b. The drive wheel 42 is provided with teeth 421, which can engage into the tooth gaps 30b to drive the atomizing medium transport assembly 30 to move.

[0234] One side of the tooth gap 30b is open, and the tooth 421 can extend into the tooth gap 30b through the open position of the tooth gap 30b and abut against the inner wall of the tooth gap 30b to drive the movement of the atomizing medium transport assembly 30.

[0235] This helps improve the motion stability of the atomizing medium transport component 30 and reduces the probability of the conveying drive component 40 and the atomizing medium transport component 30 disengaging from the drive due to vibration and shaking caused by transmission. Even when the drive wheel 42 stops rotating, the teeth 421 can restrict the movement of the atomizing medium transport component 30 through the inner wall of the tooth gap 30b, which helps maintain the stability of the relative position between the atomizing medium transport component 30 and the aerosol generating product 20.

[0236] The specific type of the transport driver 41 is not limited.

[0237] For example, see Figure 20The conveying driver 41 includes a conveying motor 411, a worm 412, a worm wheel 413, and a drive shaft 414. The output end of the conveying motor 411 is drivenly connected to the worm 412. The worm 412 and the worm wheel 413 are in a transmission cooperation. The drive shaft 414 is located on the rotation axis of the worm wheel 413 and extends along the extension direction of its rotation axis. The drive wheel 42 is provided with a drive hole. The drive shaft 414 is inserted into the drive hole to drive the drive wheel 42 to rotate.

[0238] By adopting the transmission method of worm gear 413 and worm 412, it is beneficial to increase the torque output by drive shaft 414 under the condition that the output torque of conveying motor 411 is constant, so as to make the rotation of drive wheel 42 more stable and also to drive more aerosol generating products 20 at one time.

[0239] In some embodiments, see Figure 15 and Figure 19 The atomizing medium transport component 30 has a ring-shaped structure, and the drive wheel 42 is located inside the ring-shaped structure.

[0240] This allows for the arrangement of more storage cavities 30a to store aerosol-generated products 20 within the limited volume of the storage space 10a. It also helps reduce the space required for the atomizing medium transport component 30 during movement, making the aerosol generation system more compact and improving its portability.

[0241] In some embodiments, a portion of the atomizing medium transport assembly 30 is capable of elastic deformation to adapt to changes in the direction of the force applied by the drive wheel 42 during transmission, thereby reducing the resistance experienced by the drive wheel 42, which in turn helps to reduce the power required by the transport driver 41 and reduce energy consumption.

[0242] The atomizing medium transport assembly 30 has a ring-shaped structure, which can be formed by alternating arrangements of multiple connectors 32 and storage units 31 connected end to end. That is, the two sides adjacent to any connector 32 are storage units 31, and the two sides adjacent to any storage unit 31 are connectors 32. The connectors 32 can undergo elastic deformation. The tooth gap 30b can be formed between two adjacent storage units 31.

[0243] In some embodiments where the atomizing medium transport assembly 30 has a ring-shaped structure, see [reference]. Figure 14 The delivery drive assembly 40 also includes a guide wheel 43, which is located in the storage space 10a and is rotatably configured relative to the inner wall of the storage space 10a. The guide wheel 43 is provided with driven teeth that can engage into the tooth gap 30b to rotate with the movement of the atomizing medium transport assembly 30.

[0244] Thus, the movement of the atomizing medium transport assembly 30 can be made more stable through the cooperation of the drive wheel 42 and the guide wheel 43.

[0245] In some embodiments, see Figure 29 The storage cavity 30a is open on at least one side along the first direction, and when the installation space 14a is open, the orientation of at least one open position of the storage cavity 30a is the same as the orientation of the open position of the installation space 14a.

[0246] Thus, with the installation space 14a in the open state, it is convenient to directly load the new aerosol generating product 20 into the storage chamber 30a, thereby eliminating the need to replace or disassemble the atomizing medium transport assembly 30 and the aerosol generating device 10.

[0247] In some embodiments, the storage cavity and its open position face the same direction as the open position of the storage sub-slot 10f.

[0248] In some embodiments, see Figure 30 The atomizing medium transport assembly 30 and the aerosol generating device 10 are detachably configured, and the atomizing medium transport assembly 30 can be replaced from the installation space 14a when the installation space 14a is open.

[0249] Thus, with the installation space 14a in the open state, new aerosol generating products 20 can be replenished by replacing the entire atomizing medium transport assembly 30, which is beneficial for users to replace the aerosol generating products without directly touching them.

[0250] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 , Figure 15 and Figure 21 The aerosol generation system also includes a container 50 located within the storage space 10a. The container 50 has a storage space 50a and two mounting slots 50b. The atomizing medium transport assembly 30 is located within the storage space 50a. The two mounting slots 50b are located on opposite sides of the storage space 50a along a first direction. The mounting slots 50b connect the storage space 50a and the storage space 10a. At least a portion of the product drive 122 can enter the storage space 50a along the first direction through one mounting slot 50b to drive the aerosol generation device 10 out of the storage space 50a from the other mounting slot 50b.

[0251] It is understood that the mounting slot 50b extends along the first direction to connect the receiving space 50a and the storage space 10a.

[0252] The container 50 and the aerosol generating device 10 are detachably configured.

[0253] This allows the atomizing medium transport component 30 to be easily removed or placed into the storage space 10a using the receiving box 50, thus improving user convenience. In other words, after the installation space 14a is opened, the atomizing medium transport component 30 and the aerosol generating product can be replaced simultaneously by replacing the receiving box 50.

[0254] In some embodiments of the aerosol generating apparatus 10 including a feeding state, the receiving box 50 is removed from or placed into the open position of the storage sub-tank 10f.

[0255] In some embodiments, see Figure 15 At least a portion of the drive wheel 42 is located within the receiving space 50a in order to drive the movement of the atomizing medium transport assembly.

[0256] In some embodiments, see Figure 21 and Figure 25 At least one mounting slot 50b at least partially forms a supply channel 50d, which extends through the receiving box 50 in a first direction. A drive wheel 42 is disposed in the receiving box 50 and drives the atomizing medium transport assembly 30 to move the atomizing medium transport assembly 30 so that the plurality of storage chambers 30a are aligned sequentially with the supply channel 50d, which is aligned with the heating chamber 1112a in the first direction.

[0257] It is understandable that, with the container 50 located within the storage space 10a, the space of the supply channel 50d is part of the storage space 10a.

[0258] In this way, new aerosol-generated articles 20 can be continuously kept in the supply channel 50d, so that the article drive 122 can continuously feed new aerosol-generated articles 20 into the heating chamber 11a.

[0259] In some embodiments, see Figure 26 and Figure 27 The receiving box 50 includes a first side plate 51 and a second side plate 52, which are arranged at intervals along a first direction. The movement trajectory of the atomizing medium transport assembly 30 on the surface of the first side plate 51 and / or the second side plate 52 includes a clearance area 51b and a support area 51a. It is understood that the clearance area 51b can reduce the friction between the atomizing medium transport assembly 30 and the surface of the first side plate 51 and / or the second side plate 52 during movement, reduce the movement resistance of the atomizing medium transport assembly 30, and facilitate the movement of the atomizing medium transport assembly 30 by the drive wheel 42.

[0260] Furthermore, the frictional force between the surface of the first side plate 51 and / or the second side plate 52 and the atomizing medium transport assembly 30 in the support region 51a is greater than the frictional force between the surface of the first side plate 51 and / or the second side plate 52 in the clearance region 51b. This allows the storage cavity 30a to adjust its axial position under the action of friction when the atomizing medium transport assembly 30 is in the support region 51a, so that the axial direction of the storage cavity 30a is perpendicular to the surface of the first side plate 51 and / or the second side plate 52, which facilitates the movement of the storage cavity 30a to align with the supply channel 50d.

[0261] For example, the distance between the first side plate 51 and the second side plate 52 in the support region 51a is smaller than the distance in the avoidance region 51b. In this way, the resistance of the atomizing medium transport assembly 30 during movement can be minimized.

[0262] In some embodiments, see Figure 27 There are two support areas 51a, one of which is located around the drive wheel 42, and the other is located around the guide wheel 43. Thus, when the storage element 31 within the atomizing medium transport assembly 30 moves to the support area 51a, the atomizing medium transport assembly 30 can adjust its axial position under the frictional force of the first side plate 51 and / or the second side plate 52, so that the drive wheel 42 and the guide wheel 43 can better engage with the atomizing medium transport assembly 30.

[0263] It should be noted that the specific formation methods of the avoidance area 51b and the support area 51a are not limited.

[0264] In some embodiments, see Figure 27 A portion of the surface of the first side plate 51 and / or the second side plate 52 facing the receiving box 50 is recessed to form a relief area 51b, and the non-recessed portion forms a support area 51a. Understandably, when the atomizing medium transport assembly 30 moves from the support area 51a to the clearance area 51b, the distance between the first side plate 51 and the second side plate 52 increases, thereby reducing the contact surface between the atomizing medium transport assembly 30 and the first side plate 51 and the second side plate 52. This reduces the movement resistance of the atomizing medium transport assembly 30, facilitating its movement under the drive of the drive wheel 42. When the atomizing medium transport assembly 30 moves from the clearance area 51b to the support area 51a, the distance between the first side plate 51 and the second side plate 52 decreases, thereby increasing the contact surface between the atomizing medium transport assembly 30 and the first side plate 51 and the second side plate 52. This increases the movement resistance of the atomizing medium transport assembly 30, facilitating the adjustment of the storage cavity 30a's axial position under the action of friction, making the axial direction of the storage cavity 30a perpendicular to the surface of the first side plate 51 and / or the second side plate 52, and facilitating the movement of the storage cavity 30a to align with the supply channel 50d.

[0265] In some embodiments, see Figure 27 Along the annular direction of the atomizing medium transport assembly 30, the recessed and non-recessed parts are smoothly connected by a slope. This makes the transition between the support area 51a and the avoidance area 51b smooth, improving the smoothness of the movement of the atomizing medium transport assembly 30.

[0266] It is understandable that by replacing the container 50, the atomizing medium transport component 30 inside the container 50 can be replaced simultaneously. However, the specific components replaced during the replacement of the container 50 will vary depending on its specific structure.

[0267] In some embodiments, see Figure 12 and Figure 24 At least a portion of the drive wheel 42 can enter and exit the receiving space 50a through the mounting slot 50b, so that the teeth 421 can insert into or disengage from the tooth gap 30b during the replacement of the receiving box 50. That is, during the replacement of the receiving box 50 to replace the aerosol generating article 20, the drive wheel 42 is not removed from the aerosol generating device 10 along with the receiving box 50, but remains connected to the drive shaft 414.

[0268] In some embodiments, see Figure 12 , Figure 21 and Figure 24 The tooth gap 30b is open on one side along the first direction, and the mounting slot 50b includes an insertion hole 50ba. In the projection plane perpendicular to the first direction, the projection of at least a portion of the open position of the tooth gap 30b is located within the projection range of the insertion hole 50ba, so that the tooth 421 can be inserted into or removed from the tooth gap 30b along the first direction, thereby improving the convenience of the transmission installation of the tooth 421 and the atomizing medium transport assembly 30.

[0269] In some embodiments, see Figure 22 and Figure 23 The aerosol generation system also includes a positioning element 60, which is detachably connected to the receiving box 50. The positioning element 60 is used to position the atomizing medium transport assembly 30 so that one of the storage chambers 30a is aligned with the supply channel 50d.

[0270] After the container 50 is installed into the aerosol generating device 10, the positioning component 60 is removed. The aerosol generated product 20 in one of the storage chambers 30a is located in the supply channel 50d. The product driving component 122, the supply channel 50d, and the heating chamber 11a are aligned, which makes it easy for the supply driving component 12 to align the aerosol generated product 20 and push it into the heating chamber 11a. The user does not need to manually adjust the atomizing medium transport component 30 to align one of the storage chambers 30a with the supply channel 50d, which improves the user's ease of operation.

[0271] In some embodiments, see Figure 22 and Figure 23 The positioning element 60 covers at least one mounting slot 50b. It is understood that after the receiving box 50 is installed into the aerosol generating device 10, the outer shell of the aerosol generating device 10 may not be able to be completely closed, or the positioning element 60 may interfere with the drive wheel 42, preventing the drive wheel 42 from entering the receiving box 50. This can form a foolproof design to remind the user that the positioning element 60 needs to be removed in order to fully mate the aerosol generating device 10 with the receiving box 50.

[0272] In some embodiments, see Figure 23 The positioning component 60 is connected to the first side plate 51, and the second side plate 52 is provided with an insertion hole 50ba.

[0273] In some embodiments, see Figure 21 The mounting slot 50b also includes a clearance slot 50bb, the insertion hole 50ba is located on one side of the receiving box 50 along the first direction, the clearance slot 50bb is located on the other side, and the positioning member 60 is used to cover the clearance slot 50bb.

[0274] In some embodiments, a portion of the insertion hole 50ba forms a supply channel 50d.

[0275] In some embodiments, a portion of the clearance groove 50bb forms the supply channel 50d.

[0276] In some embodiments, see Figure 23 The positioning member 60 includes at least one positioning tooth structure 61, which is inserted into the tooth gap 30b between two adjacent storage units 31 and engages with the two adjacent storage units 31 in the annular direction of the atomizing medium transport assembly 30. It is understood that during the insertion of the positioning tooth structure 61 between the two adjacent storage units 31, the position of the storage units 31 may interfere with the insertion of the positioning tooth structure 61. The insertion force of the positioning tooth structure 61 can act on its adjacent storage units 31, causing each storage unit 31 to move along the annular direction and adjust its relative position. This allows the positioning member 60 to position the atomizing medium transport assembly 30, at which point the storage cavity 30a of one of the storage units 31 is aligned with the supply channel 50d.

[0277] In some embodiments, see Figure 23The positioning tooth structure 61 is multiplied and arranged at intervals in the annular direction of the atomizing medium transport assembly 30. A storage element 31 is accommodated between two adjacent positioning tooth structures 61. In this way, by using two positioning tooth structures 61 to position a storage element 31, the positioning accuracy of the positioning member 60 in positioning the atomizing medium transport assembly 30 can be improved. On the other hand, the movement of the storage element 31 along both sides of the annular direction can be better controlled, so that the atomizing medium transport assembly 30 can be maintained in the position after positioning.

[0278] In some embodiments, see Figure 25 and Figure 28 The drive wheel 42 does not need to enter or exit the receiving space 50a through the mounting slot 50b, but can be replaced along with the receiving box 50. It is only necessary that the aerosol generating product 20 can pass through the supply channel 50d formed by the mounting slot 50b.

[0279] In some embodiments, see Figure 15 and Figure 25 The container 50 has an insertion hole 50c, and the drive wheel 42 has a drive hole 42a. The insertion hole 50c and the drive hole 42a are connected. The insertion hole 50c is used for the drive shaft 414 to pass through and be inserted into the drive hole 42a, so that the drive wheel 42 can rotate under the action of the drive shaft 414. That is, in the process of changing the container 50 to change the aerosol generating product 20, the drive wheel 42 can be separated from the drive shaft 414 and replaced along with the container 50 and the atomizing medium transport assembly 30 inside the container 50.

[0280] The cross-section of the drive hole 42a is a regular polygon, and the number of sides of the regular polygon is the same as the number of teeth 421. Thus, when the atomizing medium transport assembly 30 is used with the aerosol generating device 10, the drive hole 42a is used to install and engage with the transport driver 41 of the aerosol generating device 10.

[0281] The various embodiments / implementations provided in this application can be combined with each other without creating contradictions.

[0282] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the embodiments in this application. For those skilled in the art, the embodiments of this application can have various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the embodiments of this application should be included within the protection scope of the embodiments of this application.
