DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0051] The present application is further described in detail below by specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Wherein similar elements in different embodiments adopt associated similar element numbers. In the following embodiments, many detailed descriptions are intended to enable the present application to be better understood.

[0052] In addition, the features, operations or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any appropriate manner to form various implementations. At the same time, the steps or actions in the method description can also be interchanged or adjusted in a manner that is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the various sequences in the specification and the drawings are only for the purpose of clearly describing a certain embodiment and are not meant to be a required sequence, unless otherwise specified that a certain sequence must be followed.

[0053] The serial numbers of the components in this document, such as "first", "second", etc., are only used to distinguish the objects described and do not have any order or technical meaning. The "connection" and "coupling" mentioned in this application, unless otherwise specified, include direct and indirect connections (couplings).

[0054] Before introducing the heating assembly in detail, the aerosol generating rod 1 applicable to the aerosol generating rod ejection mechanism is first described. In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The aerosol generating stick 1 has a nozzle end 11 at one end and an air inlet end 12 at the other end. The nozzle end 11 has a nozzle for suction, and the air inlet end 12 is used to supply gas into the aerosol generating stick 1 when the aerosol generating stick 1 is sucked. The aerosol generating stick 1 has an aerosol generating matrix, which is an aerosol filament or an aerosol sheet for generating aerosol.

[0055] The heating element is inserted into the aerosol generating rod 1 to heat the aerosol generating rod 1 to generate an aerosol. After the aerosol generating rod 1 is used, the overall strength is relatively low. At this time, if the aerosol generating rod 1 is directly manually pulled out, the position where the aerosol generating rod 1 and the heating element are inserted is prone to cracking, and part of the aerosol generating matrix is ​​prone to adhere to the heating element and remain in the containing cup. In order to improve the above problems, the aerosol generating rod pop-up mechanism of the present application uses an elastic member to pop out the containing cup, and the aerosol generating rod 1 is supported by the bottom of the containing cup, driving the aerosol generating rod 1 to separate from the heating element, which can improve the problem of the aerosol generating matrix adhering to the heating element. The aerosol generating rod pop-up mechanism of the present application is introduced in detail below.

[0056] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 12 The aerosol generating stick ejection mechanism includes a mounting frame 2, a heating element 3 arranged on the mounting frame 2, a receiving cup 4 movably arranged on the mounting frame 2, a pressing member 5 movably arranged on the mounting frame 2, an elastic member 6 for providing elastic force to the pressing member 5, and a pressing member locking structure 7 (please refer to Fig.11 and Fig.12 ). The heating element 3 is used to be inserted into the aerosol generating rod 1. When powered on, the heating element 3 generates heat to heat the aerosol generating rod 1.

[0057] Please refer to Figures 3 to 5 The receiving cup 4 has a cup opening and a cup bottom 41, and the cup opening is used for the aerosol generating rod 1 to be inserted into the receiving cup 4. The cup bottom 41 is used to abut against the air inlet end 12 of the aerosol generating rod 1, and the cup bottom 41 has a cup bottom hole 411 for the heating element 3 to enter the receiving cup 4. In this way, after the aerosol generating rod 1 is inserted into the receiving cup 4, the heating element 3 can also be inserted into the aerosol generating rod 1 from the air inlet end 12 of the aerosol generating rod 1.

[0058] The pressing member 5 can transmit power to the containing cup 4, so that the pressing member 5 can drive the containing cup 4 to reciprocate in the direction of inserting and removing the aerosol generating stick 1. When it is necessary to increase the size of the heating element 3 entering the containing cup 4, pressure is applied to the pressing member 5 to make the pressing member 5 move in the direction of inserting the aerosol generating stick 1, thereby driving the containing cup 4 to move in the direction of inserting the aerosol generating stick 1.

[0059] In order to facilitate the separation of the heating element 3 and the aerosol generating rod 1, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The direction of the elastic force of the elastic member 6 is opposite to the direction in which the aerosol generating rod 1 is inserted into the containing cup 4. When the size of the heating element 3 entering the containing cup 4 needs to be shortened to separate the heating element 3 from the aerosol generating rod 1, the elastic member 6 applies an elastic force to the pressing member 5 so that the pressing member 5 can drive the containing cup 4 to move in the direction of separating the aerosol generating rod 1 from the heating element 3.

[0060] After the heating element 3 is inserted into the aerosol generating rod 1, it is necessary to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 6 to maintain the position of the accommodating cup 4. The pressing member locking structure 7 is arranged on the mounting frame 2. The pressing member locking structure 7 can lock the pressing member 5 after the pressing member 5 is pressed into place, and release the locking of the pressing member 5 after pressing again. Under the action of the pressing member locking structure 7, the pressing member 5 is locked, which can overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 6 and keep the pressing locking member always in position, so that the heating element 3 can always be in a state of being inserted into the aerosol generating rod 1.

[0061] When it is necessary to separate the aerosol generating rod 1 and the heating element 3, the pressing piece locking structure 7 is unlocked, so that the restriction of the pressing piece 5 is released. Under the elastic force of the elastic piece 6, the pressing piece 5 can move in the direction of pulling out the aerosol generating rod 1, thereby driving the containing cup 4 to move in the direction of pulling out the aerosol generating rod 1.

[0062] The aerosol generating stick ejection mechanism of the present application applies pressure to the pressing member 5, so that the pressing member 5 drives the containing cup 4 to move in the direction of inserting the aerosol generating stick 1, until the pressing member 5 is pressed into place, and the pressing member 5 is locked by the pressing member locking structure 7, at which time the length of the heating element 3 extending from the cup bottom 41 into the containing cup 4 increases, and after the aerosol generating stick 1 is inserted into the containing cup 4, the heating element 3 can be inserted into the aerosol generating stick 1 to heat the aerosol generating stick 1 to generate aerosol. After the aerosol generating stick 1 is used, the locking effect of the pressing member locking structure 7 on the pressing member 5 is released, and the pressing member 5 moves in the direction of pulling out the aerosol generating stick 1 under the elastic force of the elastic member 6, and at this time, the pressing member 5 drives the containing cup 4 to move in the direction of pulling out the aerosol generating stick 1. The cup bottom 41 of the containing cup 4 abuts against the air inlet end 12 of the aerosol generating rod 1 , and at this time the cup bottom 41 can push the aerosol generating rod 1 to move in the direction of pulling out, thereby realizing the gradual separation of the aerosol generating rod 1 and the heating element 3 .

[0063] It should be noted that before the pressing member 5 is pressed, the heating element 3 and the receiving cup 4 have two feasible states:

[0064] For the first one, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 Before the pressing member 5 is pressed, a portion of the heating element 3 is inserted into the receiving cup 4. After the pressing member 5 is pressed, the length of the heating element 3 inserted into the receiving cup 4 increases until the pressing member 5 is pressed into place and the length of the heating element 3 inserted into the receiving cup 4 reaches the required length.

[0065] The second is that before the pressing member 5 is pressed, the heating element 3 is completely outside the receiving cup 4. After the pressing member 5 is pressed, the heating element 3 is inserted into the receiving cup 4. This state requires the receiving cup 4 to move a longer distance, but after the aerosol generating stick 1 is used, the aerosol generating stick 1 and the heating element 3 can be separated more thoroughly.

[0066] The elastic member 6 can be in any feasible manner. In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , the elastic member 6 is a spring, the spring is sleeved on the mounting frame 2, one end of the spring is pressed against the pressing member 5, and the other end is pressed against the mounting frame 2. In order to ensure stability, the spring always has a certain amount of compression. In some other embodiments, the spring can also be a tension spring. In some other embodiments, in addition to the spring, elastic rubber can also be used.

[0067] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The heating element 3 includes a heating needle 30, which is used to be inserted into the aerosol generating stick 1. The heating element 3 also includes a needle seat 31 fixed on the mounting frame 2, one end of the heating needle 30 is fixed on the needle seat 31 and is used to connect the terminal of the wire, and the other end is a heating insertion end inserted into the aerosol generating stick 1. The number of the heating needle 30 can be one or more than two.

[0068] Regarding the pressing piece locking structure 7, any feasible method can be adopted:

[0069] For example, in one embodiment, please refer to Figures 11 to 15 After the pressing member 5 is locked and pressed again, the pressing member locking structure 7 can release the locking of the pressing member 5. The pressing member locking structure 7 is a door buckle switch. The structure of the door buckle switch is a mature prior art. In order to avoid redundancy, this application only introduces the door buckle structure and function involved in this application. Please refer to Figures 11 to 14 The door catch switch comprises a lock seat 71, a movable seat 72, two lock claws 73 arranged on the movable seat 72, and a spring 74 compressed and installed between the movable seat and the lock seat. The movable seat 72 has a guide protrusion 722, and the lock seat has a guide long hole 712. The guide protrusion 722 and the guide long hole 712 are guided and slidably matched, so that the movable seat 72 and the lock seat 71 are guided and slidably matched along a straight line.

[0070] The two locking claws 73 are located at the ends of the movable seat 72. When the pressing member 5 is pressed, the pressing member 5 can press against the movable seat 72 and drive the movable seat 72 to slide, so that the locking claws 73 move into the lock seat 71. When the locking claws 73 move into the lock seat 71, they can be retracted by being squeezed by the inner wall of the lock seat 71. When the locking claws 73 are retracted, they can be engaged with the slots on the pressing member 5.

[0071] The movable seat 72 is swingably equipped with a swing arm 75, one end of which is provided with a rotating shaft 76, which is rotatably inserted into the movable seat 72, and the rotating shaft 76 is a semi-axis, and the movable seat 72 is provided with a movable seat shaft hole, and the movable seat shaft hole can allow the semi-axis to rotate. The rotating shaft 76 is provided with an abutting surface, and the movable seat 72 has a protrusion 721 that can abut on the abutting surface to limit the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 76. The other end of the swing arm 75 is provided with a limiting head 77. The lock seat 71 is provided with a limiting groove 711 and an unlocking groove 713, and the swing arm 75 can be rotated to make the limiting head 77 stuck in the limiting groove 711 or out of the limiting groove 711, and the spring 74 is provided between the lock seat 71 and the rotating shaft 76, one end of the spring 74 abuts in the lock seat 71, and the other end abuts on the rotating shaft 76.

[0072] The locking pawl 73 is pressed against the inner wall of the lock seat 71 and is contracted and engaged with the pressing member 5. At the same time, the rotating shaft 76 is rotated under the elastic force of the spring 74, so that the swing arm 75 is rotated to make the limit head 77 engage in the limit groove 711, so as to limit the sliding of the movable seat 72 relative to the lock seat 71, thereby locking the pressing member 5. When it is necessary to unlock the pressing piece 5, pressure is applied to the pressing piece 5 again, so that the pressing piece 5 drives the movable seat 72 to overcome the elastic force of the spring 74 and slide, so that the limit head 77 moves in the direction away from the limit groove 711, and at the same time, the rotating shaft 76 rotates under the action of the elastic force of the spring 74, so that the swing arm 75 rotates until the limit head 77 disengages from the limit groove 711 and enters the unlocking groove on the side of the limit groove 711. At this time, the external force applied to the pressing piece 5 is removed, and the movable seat 72 slides relative to the lock seat 71 under the action of the elastic force of the spring 74, so that the locking claw 73 moves out of the lock seat 71 and returns to the expanded state, thereby releasing the lock of the pressing piece 5.

[0073] Please refer to Fig.15 In the initial state, the two locking claws 73 are in an open state. When the pressing member 5 is pressed into between the two locking claws 73 to press against the movable seat 72 and moves downward to the locking stroke, the pressing member 5 is locked by the two locking claws 73. After the pressing member 5 is released, the movable seat 72 will rebound to a certain extent, completing the locking of the pressing member 5. When unlocking is required, the pressing member 5 is pressed again, the movable seat 72 is unlocked, and can rebound upward to the initial state, completing the unlocking of the pressing member 5.

[0074] Further, in one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The pressing member 5 is a sleeve-shaped structure, and the pressing member 5 has a pressing member hole 51, and at least a part of the containing cup 4 is in the pressing member hole 51. The extension direction of the pressing member hole 51 is consistent with the insertion direction of the aerosol generating rod 1. The pressing member 5 includes a power transmission structure on the hole wall of the pressing member hole 51, and the pressing member 5 transmits power to the containing cup 4 through the power transmission structure. By means of the set, the arrangement of the power transmission structure is convenient, and at the same time, under the effect of the circumferential limit, the movement of the containing cup 4 is also made more stable. In some other embodiments, the pressing member 5 can also be a rod-shaped structure.

[0075] The power transmission structure may be any feasible method. For example, in one embodiment, please refer to Figures 3 to 5 The power transmission structure may include a flange 52 in the pressing member hole 51. For example, in one embodiment, the pressing member 5 is engaged with the receiving cup 4. For details, please refer to Figures 3 to 5, the power transmission structure may include a slot 53 or a buckle in the pressing piece hole 51. In this case, a buckle 42 adapted to the slot 53 in the pressing piece hole 51 or a slot adapted to the buckle in the pressing piece hole 51 needs to be provided on the containing cup 4. For another example, in one embodiment, the power transmission structure may also include a bonding structure for bonding the pressing piece 5 and the containing cup 4 together. For another example, in one embodiment, the power transmission structure may also include a welding structure for welding the pressing piece 5 and the containing cup 4 together. For another example, in one embodiment, the power transmission structure may also include a fixing structure for fixing the pressing piece 5 and the containing cup 4 together.

[0076] According to actual needs, the power transmission structure can also use the structures introduced in the above two or more embodiments at the same time. Figures 3 to 5 The pressing member 5 includes a pressing sleeve 54, and the power transmission structure includes a flange 52 at the end of the pressing sleeve 54. The flange 52 and the cup mouth of the receiving cup 4 block and drive the receiving cup 4 to move in the direction of inserting the aerosol generating stick 1. The groove wall of the clamping groove 53 and the buckle 42 block and drive the receiving cup 4 to move in the direction of pulling out the aerosol generating stick 1. The buckle 42 and the clamping groove 53 have a movable margin in the direction of inserting and pulling out the aerosol generating stick 1.

[0077] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 3 to 5 When the pressing member locking structure 7 adopts a door catch switch, after the pressing member 5 is pressed into place and released, the movable seat 72 of the door catch switch will rebound to a certain stroke. In order to adapt the stroke of the pressing member 5 to the movable seat 72 and not affect the insertion depth of the aerosol generating rod 1 and the heating element 3, the receiving cup 4 is movably connected with the pressing member 5, and the two have a movable margin in the insertion and removal direction of the aerosol generating rod 1. Specifically, one of the pressing member 5 and the receiving cup 4 has a slot 53, and the other is provided with a buckle 42, and the buckle 42 and the slot 53 have a movable margin in the insertion and removal direction of the aerosol generating rod 1.

[0078] In order to improve the stability of the pressing member 5 during movement, in one embodiment, please refer to Figures 3 to 5 The mounting frame 2 includes a mounting sleeve 21, the heating element 3 extends into the mounting sleeve 21, and the receiving cup 4 is movably matched with the mounting sleeve 21. A guide gap 8 is formed between the receiving cup 4 and the hole wall of the pressing member hole 51, and at least a part of the mounting sleeve 21 is inserted into the guide gap 8, so that the mounting sleeve 21 guides the pressing member 5 and the receiving cup 4 to move along the extension direction of the pressing member hole 51. Through the guiding effect of the mounting sleeve 21, the pressing member 5 and the receiving cup 4 can run more smoothly during the insertion of the aerosol generating rod 1.

During the movement of the connecting sleeve 55, the leg guide hole 552 cooperates with the leg 23 to guide the movement of the connecting sleeve 55, further providing stability for the movement of the pressing member 5.

[0084] Further, in one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Fig.10 , the connecting sleeve adapting structure 551 adapted to the door buckle switch is located between the two legs 23. This can make the overall space more compact.

[0085] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 3 to 10 In order to facilitate processing and installation, the accommodating cup 4 is cylindrical, and the pressing sleeve 54, the connecting sleeve 55 and the installation sleeve 21 are also cylindrical sleeves.

[0086] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 12 The working principle of the aerosol generating rod ejection mechanism is described as follows:

[0087] When the aerosol generating stick 1 is used to generate an aerosol, the pressing member 5 is pressed into place, so that the pressing member locking structure 7 locks the pressing member 5. In the process of pressing the pressing member 5 into place, the pressing member 5 can drive the containing cup 4 to move in the direction of aerosol insertion, and the size of the heating element 3 entering the containing cup 4 increases. Then the aerosol generating stick 1 is inserted into the containing cup 4, and the heating element 3 is inserted into the aerosol generating stick 1 from the air inlet end 12 of the aerosol generating stick 1. The heating element 3 is started to heat up, and the aerosol generating stick 1 is heated to generate aerosol, which is inhaled by the user. After the aerosol generating stick 1 is used up, pressure is applied to the pressing piece 5 again, and the pressing piece locking structure 7 is unlocked. Under the elastic force of the elastic piece 6, the pressing piece 5 drives the containing cup 4 to move in the direction of pulling out the aerosol generating stick 1. The size of the heating element 3 in the containing cup 4 is shortened and gradually separated from the aerosol generating stick 1. After the pressing piece 5 rebounds into place, the aerosol generating stick 1 can be pulled out.

[0088] In some other embodiments, the aerosol generating rod 1 is first inserted into the containing cup 4 , and then the pressing member 5 is pressed.

[0089] In an embodiment of an aerosol generating device, the aerosol generating device comprises a housing and an aerosol generating rod ejecting mechanism as described in any one of the above embodiments.

[0090] In one embodiment, the pressing member 5 has a pressing operation portion, and the pressing operation portion extends out of the housing, so that it is convenient to operate the pressing member. Specifically, the pressing operation portion is a pressing sleeve 54. In some other embodiments, the pressing member may not be exposed from the housing, for example, it is also feasible to add a pressing handle on the housing to perform a pressing operation on the pressing member.

[0091] The above specific examples are used to illustrate the present application, which is only used to help understand the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For technicians in the technical field to which the present application belongs, they can also make some simple deductions, deformations or substitutions based on the ideas of the present application.
