Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In the conventional design of the heat-not-burn aerosol supply device currently seen, the main purpose of the UI information interaction mode between the user and the device is usually to output a signal expression of the device's own status and to input and accept the user's operating instructions for the device. Among them, the output items for the interactive system are mainly concentrated in the three types of information: "power level indication", "current heating mode indication" and "heating time process indication". The current conventional UI interaction mode can well give quick and intuitive output signals for these three types of information and convey the information carried to the user.

[0003] It is worth noting that for users of aerosol supply devices, in addition to the above three types of information, there is another important state quantity that requires extra attention and inspection more frequently when using the device. This state quantity is the "internal cleanliness of the heating chamber." Because the aerosol supply device may have residual condensation of smoke oil, residual ash, and broken ash after different numbers of working cycles. Therefore, as the cumulative number of working cycles increases, if the interior of the cavity is not cleaned and maintained regularly, its internal cleanliness may deteriorate, ultimately affecting the smoking experience of subsequent cigarettes.

[0004] However, the existing conventional design is not sufficient for users to conveniently and intuitively check the internal conditions of the THP heating chamber at any time for the following reasons:

[0005] a. The length-to-diameter ratio of the heating cavity is very high (the depth-to-diameter ratio is usually much greater than 2). Even in the daytime, the interior of the heating cavity can only be illuminated to a certain brightness when the ambient light intensity is high and the light incident angle is appropriate, so that the user can visually perceive or inspect the cleanliness of the interior of the heating cavity;

[0006] b. When the use environment is outdoors at night or indoors with insufficient lighting, or during cloudy days / nights, or outdoors during heavy rain, etc., it is difficult for the heating cavity to obtain a natural strong light source, further exacerbating the perception difficulty caused by reason a;

[0007] c. For different types of aerosol supply devices, different design methods will lead to different microstructures in the heating chamber, such as curved air inlet channels, connection gaps between structural parts, etc. These microstructures are prone to cause residue deposition and also easily block the incidence of external light, making it more difficult for users to intuitively detect the residue deposition on the microstructure.

[0008] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a new aerosol supply device to solve one or more of the above problems. Utility Model Content

A consumable may also include an aerosol generator, such as a heater, which releases heat during use to cause the aerosol generating material to generate an aerosol. The heater may, for example, include a combustible material, a material that can be heated by electrical conduction, or a susceptor.

[0087] A susceptor is a material that can be heated by being penetrated with a varying magnetic field (e.g., an alternating magnetic field). The susceptor can be a conductive material such that its penetration by the varying magnetic field results in inductive heating of the heated material. The heated material can be a magnetic material such that its penetration by the varying magnetic field results in hysteresis heating of the heated material. The susceptor can be both conductive and magnetic such that the susceptor can be heated by both heating mechanisms. In this article, a device configured to generate a varying magnetic field is referred to as a magnetic field generator.

[0088] Aerosol modifiers are substances typically located downstream of an aerosol generation region that are configured to modify the generated aerosol, for example by changing the taste, flavor, acidity, or another characteristic of the aerosol. The aerosol modifier may be disposed in an aerosol modifier release component that is operable to selectively release the aerosol modifier. For example, the aerosol modifier may be an additive or an adsorbent. For example, the aerosol modifier may include one or more of a flavoring, a coloring agent, water, and a carbon adsorbent. For example, the aerosol modifier may be a solid, a liquid, or a gel. The aerosol modifier may be in powder, string, or particle form. The aerosol modifier may be free of filter material.

[0089] An aerosol generator is a device configured to cause an aerosol to be generated from an aerosol generating material. In some embodiments, the aerosol generator is a heater configured to subject the aerosol generating material to thermal energy so as to release one or more volatiles from the aerosol generating material to form an aerosol. In some embodiments, the aerosol generator is configured to cause an aerosol to be generated from the aerosol generating material without heating. For example, the aerosol generator can be configured to subject the aerosol generating material to one or more of vibration, increased pressure, or electrostatic energy.

[0090] The present disclosure relates to an aerosol delivery system (which may also be referred to as a vapor delivery system), such as a nebulizer or an electronic cigarette. In the following description, the term "electronic cigarette" or "electronic cigarette" may sometimes be used, but it will be understood that this term can be used interchangeably with aerosol delivery system / device and electronic aerosol delivery system / device. In addition, as is common in the art, the terms "aerosol" and "vapor" and related terms such as "evaporation", "aerosolization" and "aerosolization" are often used interchangeably.

[0091] Aerosol delivery systems (electronic cigarettes) typically (although not always) include modular components, which include a reusable device part and a replaceable (disposable / consumable) cartridge part. Typically, the replaceable cartridge part will include an aerosol generating material and a vaporizer (which can be collectively referred to as an "atomizer"), and the reusable device part will include a power source (e.g., a rechargeable power source) and a control circuit. It will be understood that these different parts may include additional elements depending on the function. For example, the reusable device part will typically include a user interface for receiving user input and displaying operating status features, and the replaceable cartridge device part includes a temperature sensor for helping to control the temperature in some cases. The cartridge is electrically and mechanically connected to the control unit for use, for example, using a thread, a bayonet, or a magnetic connection with appropriately arranged electrical contacts. When the aerosol generating material in the cartridge is exhausted, or when the user wishes to switch to a different cartridge with a different aerosol generating material, the cartridge can be removed from the reusable part and the replacement cartridge is attached to its appropriate position. Systems and devices conforming to this type of two-piece modular configuration may generally be referred to as two-piece systems / devices.

[0092] Electronic cigarettes typically have a generally elongated shape. To provide a specific example, some embodiments of the present disclosure will be considered to include such a generally elongated two-piece system using a disposable cartridge. However, it will be understood that the basic principles described herein may be equally applicable to different configurations, such as a one-piece system or a modular system including more than two components, a refillable device and single-use disposables, and other overall shapes, such as high-performance devices based on so-called box-shaped models that typically have a box shape. More generally, it will be understood that certain embodiments of the present disclosure are based on an aerosol delivery system that is operationally configured to provide functionality according to the principles described herein, and that the structural aspects of the system configured to provide functionality according to certain embodiments of the present disclosure are not primarily important.

[0093] As described in the background art, the design of the existing heat-not-burn aerosol supply device is not sufficient to allow the user to conveniently and intuitively check the internal conditions of the heating cavity of the aerosol supply device at any time due to its own structure and ambient lighting.

[0094] In response to one or more of the above-mentioned problems, the embodiments of the present application creatively propose a new aerosol supply device, which adds a light ring near the air intake structure in the shell to illuminate the lighting effect areas located in different areas of the device, so that the user can conveniently and intuitively check the status of the internal area of ​​the aerosol supply device at any time, so as to promptly eliminate abnormal situations such as foreign matter or cigarette residues in the cavity.

[0095] It should be noted that the aerosol supply device provided in the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the heating method it adopts, which includes but is not limited to the following methods: central needle heating (such as resistive, inductive, etc.), central sheet heating (such as resistive, inductive, etc.), circumferential heating (such as resistive, inductive, infrared radiation, etc.), mixed heating (such as central / circumferential mixed heating, etc.) and other heating methods (such as air flow heating, etc.).

[0096] The present application scheme is described in detail below using a central needle heating aerosol supply device.

[0098] Figure 1 is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of an aerosol supply device and an aerosol product provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of an aerosol supply device provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 is an exploded view of the aerosol supply device provided in the embodiment of the present application, referring to Figures 1 to 3As shown, it generally includes a shell 100, an extractor 200, an illumination structure 300, a heating module 400, etc. Among them, a first accommodating chamber 110 is formed inside the shell 100, and components such as the extractor 200, the illumination structure 300 and the heating module 400 are all accommodated and arranged in the first accommodating chamber 110. A second accommodating chamber 210 is formed inside the extractor 200, and the second accommodating chamber 210 is used to accommodate an aerosol product 1000 (such as a cigarette, etc.). An opening 220 and an air intake structure 230 are respectively provided at opposite ends of the extractor 200, and the opening 220 and the air intake structure 230 are both connected to the above-mentioned second accommodating chamber 210, wherein the opening 220 is used for inserting the aerosol product 1000 into the second accommodating chamber 210, and the air intake structure 230 is used for allowing air from the external environment to enter the second accommodating chamber 210. The lighting structure 300 at least includes a light ring 310, which is arranged in the housing 100 near the air intake structure 230, so that the air intake structure 230 can also serve as a light inlet, and further, even when the extractor 200 is placed in the housing, the light ring 310 can provide lighting to the inside of the extractor 200. Preferably, the circular surface of the light ring 310 is arranged parallel to the lower end surface of the extractor 200. A plurality of different lighting effect areas are arranged on the device, and the lighting structure 300 will illuminate different lighting effect areas when the installation status of the extractor 200 is different, so that the user can conveniently and intuitively check the status of the internal area of ​​the aerosol supply device at any time, so as to timely eliminate abnormal conditions such as foreign matter or cigarette residues in the cavity.

[0099] In some specific embodiments, the light ring 310 is a circular LED light ring composed of two semicircular ring segments.

[0100] In some specific embodiments, the shape of the light ring 310 is a combination of one or more of a circular ring, a polygonal ring, an elliptical ring, an irregular ring, etc.

[0101] In some specific embodiments, the light ring 310 is a 360° single-segment ring, a 180° two-segment ring, a 90° four-segment ring, or a circular array arrangement of multiple individual LED lamp beads in the circumferential direction.

[0102] In some specific embodiments, the lamp beads in the lamp ring 310 can be single-color LED lamp beads, 16-color LED lamp beads, or 64-color LED lamp beads, etc., which are not specifically limited here.

[0103] It is understood that the aerosol product 1000 includes various rod-shaped or strip-shaped structures for inserting into the extractor 200 and being heated and atomized to generate aerosol, such as those containing tobacco, those containing no tobacco but containing nicotine, and those containing no tobacco and no nicotine, etc., which are not listed here one by one. The aerosol product 1000 includes an aerosol-generating substrate, which can generate an aerosol after being heated and atomized.

[0104] Further references Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, as a preferred implementation, in the embodiment of the present application, the side wall of the housing 100 is configured to be a hollow structure. In specific implementation, a plurality of vents 120 are provided on the outer peripheral wall of the housing 100, and the plurality of vents 120 penetrate the outer peripheral wall of the housing 100 in the lateral direction of the device, so that the outer peripheral wall of the housing 100 forms a hollow structure.

[0105] In the embodiment of the present application, the number and size of the vent holes 120 are not limited, and can be set according to actual needs without violating the concept of the utility model of the present application. It is understandable that the more the number and / or the larger the size of the vent holes 120, the easier it is to observe the internal conditions of the housing and the better it is for the device to dissipate heat.

[0106] In the embodiment of the present application, the arrangement of the vent holes 120 on the outer peripheral wall of the housing 100 is also not specifically limited. In some specific embodiments, there are multiple vent holes 120 and they are distributed on the outer peripheral wall of the housing 100 at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the device; in other specific embodiments, there are multiple vent holes 120 and they are distributed on the outer peripheral wall of the housing 100 at intervals along the circumference of the device.

[0107] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the size of the vent holes 120 is not specifically limited, and can be set according to actual product requirements without violating the concept of the utility model of the present application. In some specific embodiments, different vent holes 120 can be set to have the same size; in other specific embodiments, different vent holes 120 can be set to have different sizes; in other specific embodiments, some vent holes 120 can be set to have the same size, and some vent holes 120 can be set to have different sizes.

[0108] In some specific embodiments, the outer peripheral wall of the housing 100 may be subjected to at least one of the following treatments: a smooth surface, a frosted surface, an anodized surface, a brushed surface, a coated surface, and an electroplated surface.

[0109] In some specific embodiments, in addition to providing a certain number of vent holes 120 on the outer peripheral wall of the shell 100, some other structures may also be provided, such as a certain number of countersunk holes, protrusions, positive text, negative text, etc., which are not listed here one by one.

[0110] It is understandable that the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the geometric shape of the housing 100, and any housing arranged parallel to the axis of the aerosol product should be considered within the scope of the present design. For example, the cross-sectional shape of the housing 100 along the axis perpendicular to the aerosol product can be divided into a circular cross-section, an elliptical cross-section, a polygonal cross-section, an irregular straight-sided cross-section, an irregular curved cross-section, a cross-section variable along the axis, and the like.

[0111] In some specific embodiments, the assembly form of the shell 100 and the device can adopt at least one of the following methods: snap fixation, slide groove fixation, threaded fastener fixation, shell self-thread fixation, interference fit fixation, magnetic attraction fixation, top block fixation, adhesive fixation, etc.

[0112] Further references Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 As shown, as a preferred implementation, in the embodiment of the present application, the lighting effect zone includes a first lighting effect zone 510, a second lighting effect zone 520, a third lighting effect zone 530, and a fourth lighting effect zone 540 located at different positions of the device.

[0113] In some specific embodiments, the first lighting effect area 510 includes an area of ​​the second accommodating cavity 210 away from the opening 220. When the extractor 200 is installed in the housing 100 and the light ring 310 is turned on, a portion of the light from the light ring 310 is incident into the second accommodating cavity 210 through the air intake structure 230 to illuminate the first lighting effect area 510. Specifically, some of the light from the light ring 310 directly passes through the uppermost end of the air intake structure 230, while the other part of the light passes through multiple diffuse reflections between the walls of the air intake structure 230 and finally enters the uppermost end of the air intake structure 230, so that the entire wall of the air intake structure 230 has light passing through it. However, since the extractor 200 of the device has been assembled with the heating module 400 at this time, that is, the extractor 200 has been placed in the shell 100, and the special angle design makes it impossible for the light to directly pass through the gap of the extractor 200 without hindrance and overflow, but it is reflected and refracted internally along the complex light path near the air intake structure 230 of the extractor 200. Finally, under the condition of relatively dim ambient light, the user can directly observe the halo overflowing from the bottom of the extractor 200 with the naked eye. Since there is no direct light source, the light intensity of this halo will not be very high, but it is enough for the user to directly perceive the specific location of the extractor 200 and the heating module 400, and to visually check whether there is any obvious foreign matter remaining on the inner wall surface of the extractor 200 or the heating needle. It can be understood that due to the active internal light source design, the normal operation of this function is not affected by environmental changes, that is, it can achieve all-weather functional operation.

[0114] In some specific embodiments, the second lighting effect area 520 includes a gap between one end of the extractor 200 away from the opening 220 and the housing 100. When the extractor 200 is installed in the housing 100 and the light ring 310 is turned on, the light emitted by the light ring 310, in addition to a portion of light entering the second accommodating cavity 210 through the air intake structure 230, another portion will propagate in the opposite direction, that is, propagate to the outside of the second accommodating cavity 210. Since the circular surface of the light ring 310 is arranged parallel to the bottom end surface of the extractor 200, a narrow gap is formed. Therefore, the light field of the light ring 310 is limited by the bottom end surface of the extractor 200, and the light can only be directly emitted outward or diffusely reflected outward along the narrow gap between the extractor 200 and the housing 100. The combination of this direct emission and diffuse reflection will form an annular scattered light halo at the gap. It is understandable that when the second lighting effect area 520 is illuminated, it can effectively supplement the brightness of the first lighting effect area 510. At the same time, this design element can also greatly improve the appearance texture of the product under all weather conditions, especially in dim environments.

[0115] In some specific embodiments, the third lighting effect zone 530 includes the area within the first accommodating cavity 110. When the extractor 200 is taken out of the shell 100 and the light ring 310 is turned on, the light of the light ring 310 will illuminate the third lighting effect zone 530. Since the extractor 200 has been taken out, but the heating module 400 is still in the shell 100, the light ring 310 will disappear when it is blocked by the structure of the extractor 200 (i.e., the first lighting effect zone 510 no longer exists), and then diffuse directly from the first accommodating cavity 110 to the inner wall of the shell 100. At the same time, the intensity of the light will be higher than when the first lighting effect zone 510 is illuminated. It can be understood that when the third lighting effect zone 530 is lit, the second lighting effect zone 520 will also be lit synchronously.

[0116] It should be noted that, compared with the first lighting effect zone 510, the third lighting effect zone 530 has a significantly higher light intensity than the first lighting effect zone 510 because the third lighting effect zone 530 has fewer obstructions. Therefore, when the ambient light is weak, this obvious difference in light intensity will help remind the user whether the extractor 200 has been returned to its original position, thereby reducing the possibility of the user mistakenly placing a cigarette into the cavity without inserting the extractor 200 in a low-visibility environment. On the other hand, under the illumination of the third lighting effect zone 530, the inner wall of the housing 100 and the residue in the air inlet (not shown in the figure) therein will be clearly revealed. Similar to the first lighting effect zone 510, due to the design of an active internal light source, the normal operation of this function is not affected by environmental changes, that is, it can achieve all-weather functional operation.

[0117] Further references Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, in some specific embodiments, the lighting structure 300 further includes a button 320, which is configured to at least control the on or off of the light ring 310. The fourth lighting effect zone 540 corresponds to the position of the button 320. In specific implementation, a light emitting member 330 is arranged at the position of the button 320. Preferably, the light emitting member 330 is also controlled to be switched on and off by the button 320. When the light emitting member 330 is turned on, the fourth lighting effect zone 540 is illuminated, so that the user can directly observe the location of the button 320 through the light of the light emitting member 330.

[0118] In some specific embodiments, the button 320 is a combination of one or more of a mechanical rebound button, a capacitive touch button, a capacitive touch and vibration feedback button, and the like.

[0119] In some specific embodiments, the button 320 may also be a combination of one or more of a mechanical knob, a mechanical roller, an electromagnetic roller, and the like.

[0120] It should be noted that the specific implementation of the light emitting element 330 is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. Under the premise of not violating the inventive concept of the present application, any known light emitting element can be used in the present application. As an exemplary and non-restrictive description, the light emitting element 330 in the embodiment of the present application can be an LED lamp, etc.

[0121] In some specific embodiments, the light emitting element 330 is integrated with the button 320. In specific implementation, the button 320 can adopt a semi-transparent self-luminous appearance design, and the light emitting element 330 is arranged inside the button 320.

[0122] In some other specific embodiments, the light emitting member 330 is disposed near the button 320. In specific implementation, the button 320 adopts a non-luminous appearance design, and the light emitting member 330 is arranged around the button 320, playing the same UI indication role.

[0123] As a preferred implementation, in the embodiment of the present application, the buttons 320 include at least two, and clicking any button 320 will also wake up the device.

[0124] The following description will be made by taking the example that the buttons 320 include two and each button 320 is integrated with an LED light.

[0125] It is understood that after the aerosol supply device is assembled, when it is not activated, the device is in a standby dormant state, in which the light ring 310 and the LED light will not light up. When the user wants to perform relevant operations (including but not limited to waking up the device, checking the power, visual inspection, etc.), the user can press any one of the buttons 320 to make the device enter the awakened state from the dormant state. At this time, the LED lights corresponding to the two buttons 320 will light up at the same time, and can be set to continue to light up for a specific time period, such as 5 seconds, etc., which is not specifically limited here. At the same time, the color of the LED light can also be set according to one's own preferences. At this time, the fourth light effect area 540 comes into effect, and the user can directly observe the location of the button 320 through the light of the LED light. It is understood that when the fourth light effect area 540 is illuminated, the lighting of the light ring 310 will respectively make the first light effect area 510 and the second light effect area 520 come into effect.

[0126] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the specific lighting effects of the light ring 310 and the light-emitting element 330 can be determined according to different lighting colors / flash effects, and have a wide range of user customization freedom, which is not specifically limited here.

[0127] As a preferred implementation manner, in the embodiment of the present application, the remaining power of the device can also be indicated by displaying different colors when the light-emitting element 330 and / or the light ring 310 are illuminated. That is, when the light-emitting element 330 and / or the light ring 310 are illuminated, different colors can be displayed when the remaining power of the device is different, thereby realizing a reminder of the remaining power of the device.

[0128] In another preferred embodiment, the remaining power of the device can be indicated by setting the number of buttons 320 that are lit when they are lit, that is, by lighting zero buttons 320 (low power), lighting one button (half full power), and lighting two buttons (full power), different intuitive prompts of the remaining power of the device can be given, thereby realizing a reminder of the remaining power of the device.

[0129] As a preferred implementation, in the embodiment of the present application, when the user long presses one of the buttons 320 (such as the left button) for a first duration, the device will enter the first working mode. During the duration of a puffing session, the light ring 310 and the button 320 (such as the left button) will light up in conjunction, that is, the fourth lighting effect zone 540 and the first lighting effect zone 510 can light up in conjunction. When the user long presses another button 320 (such as the right button) for a first duration, the device will enter the second working mode. During the duration of a puffing session, the light ring 310 and the button 320 (such as the right button) will light up in conjunction, that is, the fourth lighting effect zone 540 and the first lighting effect zone 510 can light up in conjunction.

[0130] In some specific embodiments, the first working mode is a standard working mode, and the second working mode is a speed-up working mode. It is understandable that the heating power of the device in the standard working mode is lower than the heating power of the device in the speed-up working mode.

[0131] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the first duration is not specifically limited, and can be set according to actual needs without violating the inventive concept of the present application. For example, the first duration is set to 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds, etc.

[0132] As a preferred implementation, in the embodiment of the present application, different colors are displayed by the light ring 310 in different working modes. It should be noted that the colors of the lights of the light ring 310 and the corresponding button 320 in the first working mode and the second working mode are not limited in the embodiment of the present application, and the user can set them according to actual needs. For example, the lights of the light ring 310 and the corresponding button 320 in the first working mode can be set to be light blue, and the lights of the light ring 310 and the corresponding button 320 in the second working mode can be set to be bright red, etc., which will not be exhaustively listed here.

[0133] As a preferred implementation, in the embodiment of the present application, it can also be set that when any button 320 is pressed for a second time, the device will enter the inspection and maintenance mode, and in this inspection and maintenance mode, the light ring 310 will be continuously illuminated for a preset time. It can be understood that in this mode, the user can independently choose to inspect and maintain the cleanliness of the device in various situations according to actual needs. In some specific embodiments, when the extractor 200 is assembled, through the lighting effect of the first lighting effect zone 510, the user can check the cleanliness of the heating needle surface and the inside of the extractor 200, and perform targeted maintenance; in other specific embodiments, when the extractor 200 is not assembled but the heating module 400 is assembled, through the lighting effect of the third lighting effect zone 530, the user can check the cleanliness of the inner wall surface of the shell 100, the air inlet duct, the heating needle surface and the heating needle base, and perform targeted maintenance; in other specific embodiments, when neither the heating module 400 nor the extractor 200 is assembled, the light ring 310 directly illuminates the entire area within the device shell 100. At this time, the cleanliness of the heating needle surface, the heating needle base, the air inlet duct and the shell 100 can be checked, and targeted maintenance can be performed.

[0134] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the second duration and the preset duration are not specifically limited, and can be set according to actual needs without violating the inventive concept of the present application. For example, the second duration is set to 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds, etc., and the preset duration is set to 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, etc.

[0135] Further references Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the difference from the extractor of the conventional centrally heated aerosol supply device is that the air intake method in the extractor 200 in the embodiment of the present application is a bottom-up design, and the external gas enters the second accommodating chamber 210 for inserting the aerosol product 1000 from the bottom of the extractor 200. In specific implementation, the extractor 200 has a first end 260 and a second end 270 in the length direction, and the first end 260 and the second end 270 are located at two opposite ends of the extractor 200 in the length direction. The extractor 200 is provided with an opening 220 at the first end 260 that is connected to the internal space of the second accommodating chamber 210, and the extractor 200 is provided with an air intake structure 230 at the second end 270. Due to the adoption of the bottom-up airway design, it is no longer necessary to set a groove / convex ridge structure for accommodating air flow on the wall surface of the extractor 200, so that the inner and outer wall surfaces of the extractor 200 can be set to a simple and smooth standard cylindrical shape.

[0136] It is understandable that the extractor 200 is configured to adopt a bottom-up airway design so that the airflow therein flows from bottom to top. According to the principles of thermodynamics, under a certain pressure, the density of hot air is slightly smaller than the density of cold air. Therefore, in the absence of severe external disturbances, if there is a temperature difference in the air flow field, the hot air flow will tend to move upward and the cold air flow will tend to move downward. Under most normal working conditions of the aerosol supply device, the aerosol product, that is, the heat source, is always located at the upper end relative to the cold air in the initial section of the air inlet. This means that the hot air in the second accommodating chamber 210 or at the end of the airway will not spontaneously flow out of the air inlet from the end of the air inlet like the hot air in the top-down air inlet, resulting in a continuous loss of heat energy.

[0137] As a preferred implementation, in the embodiment of the present application, the diameter of the inner wall of the extractor 200 (i.e., the diameter of the second containing cavity 210) is set to be slightly smaller than the diameter of the heated aerosol product. As a result, a slight interference fit will be generated after the aerosol product is placed in it, so that the aerosol product and the inner wall of the second containing cavity 210 are fully fitted together to avoid the presence of gaps that cause air to be trapped.

[0138] Further references Figure 4As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the air intake structure 230 includes a first air intake hole 231, a second air intake hole 232, and an auxiliary air duct 233. The first air intake hole 231 is arranged at the center position of the bottom wall of the second accommodating chamber 210, connecting the internal space of the second accommodating chamber 210 with the external environment. The second air intake hole 232 is arranged at the edge position of the bottom wall of the second accommodating chamber 210, and also connects the internal space of the second accommodating chamber 210 with the external environment. The auxiliary air duct 233 extends radially along the bottom wall of the second accommodating chamber 210, and one end of the auxiliary air duct 233 is connected to the first air intake hole 231, and the other end is connected to the external environment. With such a configuration, the air intake structure 230 can have the characteristics of compact structure, high air intake efficiency, excellent supporting effect, and less heat loss in the air intake duct.

[0139] As a preferred implementation, in the embodiment of the present application, the second air inlet holes 232 include a plurality of second air inlet holes 232 , which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the second accommodating cavity 210 on the edge of the bottom wall of the second accommodating cavity 210 .

[0140] As a preferred implementation, in the embodiment of the present application, the auxiliary air passage 233 includes a plurality of auxiliary air passages 233 , and the plurality of auxiliary air passages 233 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the second accommodating cavity 210 on the bottom wall of the second accommodating cavity 210 .

[0141] Reference Figure 5 As shown, the extractor 200 also includes a concave-convex structure 240 disposed on the bottom wall inside the second accommodating chamber 210. In a specific implementation, the concave-convex structure 240 includes a recessed portion 241 and a raised portion 242 that are spaced apart, the recessed portion 241 is connected to the second air inlet 232, and the raised portion 242 abuts against the aerosol product. This arrangement can, on the one hand, reduce the retention of substances such as ash and condensate in the second accommodating chamber 210 during use, and on the other hand, allow the aerosol product to obtain a uniform supporting force on the entire bottom of the second accommodating chamber 210 when the user takes the extractor 200 out of the device after inhalation, thereby minimizing the residue of the aerosol generating matrix on the heating needle and the shedding of the aerosol generating matrix in the extractor.

[0142] In some specific embodiments, the recessed portion 241 and the raised portion 242 each include a plurality of recessed portions 241 and a plurality of raised portions 242 , and the plurality of recessed portions 241 and the plurality of raised portions 242 are disposed at intervals. Each recessed portion 241 is communicated with at least one second air inlet hole 232 .

[0143] Further references Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, as a preferred embodiment, in the embodiment of the present application, the extractor 200 further includes a holding ring 250. The holding ring 250 extends radially outward along the second accommodating cavity 210 at the opening 220. Preferably, the diameter of the holding ring 250 is set to be larger than the diameter of the part of the extractor 200 that accommodates the aerosol product, and the thickness of the holding ring 250 is set to be larger than the thickness of the side wall of the part of the extractor 200 that accommodates the aerosol product. It can be understood that the holding ring 250 with a large diameter and a large thickness can improve the structural rigidity of the entire extractor 200, especially the top holding part, so that when the user holds the extractor 200 with force, or when the extractor 200 falls and collides with the device as a whole, the self-deformation is reduced, and the stability and integrity of the overall structure are maintained.

[0144] In some specific embodiments, a weight-reducing groove 251 is provided on the surface of the side of the holding ring 250 facing the air intake structure 230. The provision of the weight-reducing groove 251 can reduce the structural weight of the holding ring 250 while ensuring its high strength and high rigidity. At the same time, the presence of the holding ring 250 significantly reduces the cross-sectional area (heat conduction area) of the holding ring 250 in all directions, thereby reducing the diffusion rate of the high temperature in the center of the extractor to the holding ring 250, thereby reducing the user's contact-perceived temperature of the holding ring 250 after the heating cycle. It should be noted that the shape and size of the weight-reducing groove 251 are not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application, and can be set according to actual product requirements without violating the inventive concept of the present application.

[0145] As a preferred implementation, in the embodiment of the present application, the extractor 200 is provided with a holding ring 250 , one end of which is clamped on the shell 100 . Specifically, the extractor 200 is clamped on the shell 100 through the holding ring 250 .

[0146] Further references Figures 1 to 3 As shown, as a preferred embodiment, in the embodiment of the present application, the device further includes a heat preservation structure 600, and the heat preservation structure 600 is sleeved on the outside of the extractor 200. It can be understood that a gap as small as possible can be reserved between the heat preservation structure 600 and the extractor 200 for taking out and putting in the extractor. Therefore, the heat preservation structure 600 and the extractor 200 can be seen to be closely matched, so that the heat preservation structure 600 can provide a compact heat preservation space for the aerosol product 1000 and the extractor 200 in the axial position, reducing heat accumulation and heat leakage caused by redundant structures.

[0147] Further references Figure 3As shown, the heat preservation structure 600 includes an inner shell 610, an outer shell 620 and a filling layer 630. The inner shell 610 and the outer shell 620 cooperate to form a hollow structure, and the filling layer 630 is arranged in the hollow structure. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the assembly method between the inner shell 610 and the outer shell 620 is not specifically limited, and can be set according to actual product requirements without violating the concept of the utility model of the present application. For example, in some specific embodiments, the inner shell 610 and the outer shell 620 are integrally formed and a hollow structure is formed between the two.

[0148] In some specific embodiments, the inner shell 610 and / or the outer shell 620 are plastic layers. It is understandable that the inner shell 610 and the outer shell 620 are both made of high temperature resistant plastic materials, such as polyetheretherketone (PEEK), etc., which is not specifically limited here.

[0149] In some specific embodiments, the filling layer 630 is an aerogel thermal insulation material, such as silica aerogel, etc., which is also not specifically limited here.

[0150] As a preferred implementation, in the embodiment of the present application, the thickness of the filling layer 630 is any value between 0.1 and 1.5 mm, such as 0.1 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.8 mm, 0.9 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.1 mm, 1.2 mm, 1.3 mm, 1.4 mm, 1.5 mm, etc., which are not listed here one by one. Further preferably, the thickness of the filling layer 630 is set to any value between 1.0 and 1.5 mm, such as 1.0 mm, 1.1 mm, 1.2 mm, 1.3 mm, 1.4 mm, 1.5 mm, etc., which is thicker than the conventional design (usually 0.5 to 1.0 mm), so the thermal insulation effect will be better.

[0151] Further references Figure 3 As shown, as a preferred embodiment, in the embodiment of the present application, the thermal insulation structure 600 also includes a positioning block 640 and a buckle 650 arranged on the outer side wall of the outer shell 620. The positioning block 640 is in surface contact with the shell 100, thereby ensuring the coaxiality between the thermal insulation structure 600 and the axis of the aerosol product. The buckle 650 cooperates with the pre-set groove on the shell 100 to form a buckle fixation, which fixes the position of the thermal insulation structure 600 in the device. At the same time, the thermal insulation structure 600 with its own integrated design can be easily removed from the device when necessary, without affecting other fasteners of the device during removal, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0152] It is understandable that, through the above arrangement, the contact surface of the thermal insulation structure 600 with other parts of the device can be only the small contact surface of the positioning block 640 and the buckle 650 with the shell 100 and the small contact surface of the first rib on the bottom wall when it is fixed. The sum of the above contact surface areas is a very small proportion compared to the total surface area of ​​the thermal insulation structure 600, thereby forming a fixing method that can be compared to a suspended type. This arrangement, on the one hand, can control the heat conducted through the direct contact between the thermal insulation structure 600 and other parts of the device within a very small range, and then when the thermal insulation structure 600 is heated and heated under working conditions, a large part of the heat will be trapped in the thermal insulation layer itself, and will not be quickly transferred out. In layman's terms, even if the temperature of the thermal insulation structure 600 itself rises significantly, there is no way to drive the surrounding parts to heat up quickly with it. On the other hand, the thermal insulation structure 600 still has a part of heat diffusion to the outside. However, in the above design, this part of heat can only be transmitted through infrared heat radiation and convection with the external air. With the assistance of the specially designed shell 100, these two heat transfer methods will not cause rapid heating of the shell 100 and other components, nor will they significantly increase the contact perceived temperature when the user holds the body.

[0153] It should be noted that the present application does not specifically limit the number of positioning blocks 640 and buckles 650, and can be set according to actual product requirements without violating the concept of the utility model of the present application. As an exemplary and non-restrictive description, the positioning blocks 640 and buckles 650 in the embodiment of the present application include multiple positioning blocks 640 and buckles 650, and the multiple positioning blocks 640 and buckles 650 are spaced apart on the outer side wall of the outer shell 620 along the circumference of the thermal insulation structure 600.

[0154] As a preferred embodiment, in the embodiment of the present application, the size of the filling layer 630 in the longitudinal direction of the heat preservation structure 600 exceeds the top of the area corresponding to the aerosol generating matrix of the aerosol product and at least exceeds the bottom of the above-mentioned area. Preferably, the size of the filling layer 330 in the longitudinal direction of the heat preservation structure 300 can exceed the top of the area corresponding to the aerosol generating matrix of the aerosol product by at least 10 mm, and can exceed the above-mentioned bottom by at least 5 mm. It can be understood that the heating module 400 of the aerosol supply device of the central needle heating method usually includes a heating needle 410, which is used to insert into the aerosol generating matrix of the aerosol product 1000 to heat it to generate an aerosol. The size of the filling layer 630 in the longitudinal direction of the heat preservation structure 600 exceeds the top of the heating needle 410, preferably, it can exceed at least 10 mm, and at least exceeds the bottom of the heating needle 410, preferably, it can exceed at least 5 mm, so that the wrapping of the filling layer 630 in the length direction of the device is also far beyond the conventional design, further improving the heat preservation effect.

[0155] It is understandable that in the embodiment of the present application, the smooth outer wall of the extractor 200 can be fully fitted with the inner wall of the heat preservation structure 600, thereby improving the overall control capability of the extractor 200 and the heat preservation structure 600 on heat leakage, thereby improving the heat insulation effect of the aerosol product. In addition, the smooth inner and outer walls of the extractor 200 also help to improve the ease of cleaning and production processability of the extractor 200.

[0156] As a preferred embodiment, in the embodiment of the present application, a first gap 710 is provided between the outer peripheral wall of the heat preservation structure 600 and the inner wall of the shell 100, and the first gap 710 is connected to the external environment. The first gap 710 is formed as the second light effect area 520 mentioned above. It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the width of the first gap 710, and it can be set according to the actual needs of the product without violating the concept of the utility model of the present application. As an exemplary and non-restrictive explanation, in the embodiment of the present application, the width of the first gap 710 is any value between 0.2-1.5mm. For example, 0.2mm, 0.3mm, 0.4mm, 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.7mm, 0.8mm, 0.9mm, 1.0mm, 1.1mm, 1.2mm, 1.3mm, 1.4mm, 1.5mm, etc., which are not listed here one by one.

[0157] In some specific embodiments, the first gap 710 may be connected to the external environment through an opening disposed at one longitudinal end of the device. As an exemplary but non-limiting description, the opening may be disposed at the end of the first gap 710 facing the user.

[0158] In some specific embodiments, the first gap 710 may be in communication with the external environment through the vent holes of the hollow structure of the housing 100 .

[0159] Reference Figure 6 As shown, as a preferred embodiment, in the embodiment of the present application, there is a second gap 720 between the bottom of the heat preservation structure 600 and the bottom wall of the first accommodating chamber 110, and the second gap 720 is connected to the air intake structure 230. It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the second gap 720 is arranged to be connected to the first gap 710, so that the air intake structure 230 is connected to the first gap 710 through the second gap 720, and thus connected to the external environment, so that the air of the external environment can enter the second gap 720 through the first gap 710, and then enter the air intake structure 230 through the second gap 720, and then enter the internal space of the second accommodating chamber 210 through the air intake structure 230.

[0160] Reference Figure 7As shown, in some specific embodiments, a first rib 910 is arranged between the bottom of the thermal insulation structure 600 and the bottom wall of the first accommodating cavity 110, and the first rib 910 extends along the longitudinal direction of the device on the bottom wall of the first accommodating cavity 110 so that the above-mentioned second gap 720 is formed between the bottom of the thermal insulation structure 600 and the bottom wall of the first accommodating cavity 110.

[0161] It can be understood that since the bottom of the insulation structure 600 is in contact with the first rib 910 on the bottom wall of the first accommodating cavity 110, and the contact area is much smaller than the area of ​​the bottom surface of the insulation structure 600, a structure similar to a suspended support is formed between the insulation structure 600 and the bottom wall of the first accommodating cavity 110, so that the heat conducted through the direct contact between the insulation structure 600 and other components of the device can be controlled within a very small range. When the insulation structure 600 is heated under working conditions, a large part of the heat will be trapped in the insulation layer itself and will not be quickly transferred out.

[0162] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the number of the first ribs 910 is not specifically limited, and can be set according to actual product requirements without violating the concept of the utility model of the present application. As an exemplary and non-restrictive explanation, the first ribs 910 in the embodiment of the present application include a plurality of first ribs 910, and the plurality of first ribs 910 are spaced apart on the bottom wall of the first accommodating cavity 110 along the circumference of the thermal insulation structure 600, and the second gap 720 is formed between adjacent first ribs 910.

[0163] Further references Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, as a preferred embodiment, in the embodiment of the present application, the device further includes a base 800, which is arranged at the bottom of the first accommodating chamber 110. On the one hand, the bottom end of the extractor 200 is supported on the top surface of the base 800, and on the other hand, the heat preservation structure 600 is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the base 800, and a third gap 730 is formed between the inner wall of the heat preservation structure 600 and the outer peripheral wall of the base 800, and the third gap 730 is connected to the second gap 720, so that the third gap 730 is connected to the external environment. It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the third gap 730 is arranged to be connected to the air intake structure 230, so that the air intake structure 230 is connected to the external environment through the third gap 730, the second gap 720, and the first gap 710 in sequence, so that the air of the external environment can enter the air intake structure 230 after passing through the first gap 710, the second gap 720, and the third gap 730 in sequence, and then enter the internal space of the second accommodating chamber 210 through the air intake structure 230.

[0164] Further references Figure 7As shown, in some specific embodiments, a second rib 920 is provided between the outer peripheral wall of the base 800 and the inner wall of the heat preservation structure 600, and the second rib 920 extends along the length direction of the device so that the third gap 730 is formed between the inner wall of the heat preservation structure 600 and the outer peripheral wall of the base 800. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the number of the second ribs 920 is not specifically limited, and can be set according to actual product requirements without violating the concept of the utility model of the present application. As an exemplary and non-restrictive explanation, the second rib 920 in the embodiment of the present application includes a plurality of second ribs 920, and the plurality of second ribs 920 are arranged at intervals on the outer peripheral wall of the base 800 along the circumference of the base 800, and the third gap 730 is formed between adjacent second ribs 920.

[0165] In some specific embodiments, the heat preservation structure 600 is interference-fitted with the second rib 920 on the base 800, so that the heat preservation structure 600 has no contact with the housing 100, thereby reducing the amount of heat transferred to the housing 100 through the heat preservation structure 600. In other specific embodiments, the heat preservation structure 600 can be connected to the housing by means of a buckle or the like, so that there is only a minimal contact between the heat preservation structure 600 and the housing 100, thereby reducing the amount of heat transferred to the housing 100 through the heat preservation structure 600.

[0166] In some specific embodiments, the base 800 may be made of high temperature resistant PEEK plastic, which is not specifically limited in the present application.

[0167] As a preferred implementation, in the embodiment of the present application, the material of the housing 100 is at least one of metal, polymer, natural or composite materials, which is not specifically limited here and can be set by the user according to actual needs. Among them, metal materials include stainless steel, titanium alloy, aluminum-magnesium alloy, etc., polymer materials include various engineering plastics, PEEK, PC, PP, etc., natural materials include stone, bamboo, wood, etc., and composite materials include glass fiber reinforced resin, carbon fiber reinforced resin, etc., which are not listed here one by one.

[0168] Further references Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, as a preferred implementation, in the embodiment of the present application, the heating module 400 includes a heating needle 410, a thermal insulation base 420 and a thermal insulation layer 430. The heating needle 410 is arranged at the center of the end of the thermal insulation base 420 facing the extractor 200, the base 800 is arranged outside the thermal insulation base 420, and the thermal insulation layer 430 is filled between the base 800 and the thermal insulation base 420. The thermal insulation layer 430 can be made of aerogel thermal insulation material. The setting of the thermal insulation layer 430 can greatly reduce the diffusion ability of a small part of the heat that freely roams in the air inlet to the side wall of the air inlet.

[0169] It can be understood that, for the third gap 730 along the transverse cross-section of the device, its outer ring is surrounded by the insulation structure 600, and the inner ring is also surrounded by the insulation layer 430. Therefore, both sides of the higher temperature air in the third gap 730 are surrounded by insulation materials, which greatly reduces the rate of heat transfer to the outside through the higher temperature air in the third gap 730, thereby improving the overall insulation efficiency of the system.

[0170] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the thermal insulation base 420. It can be configured according to actual needs without violating the concept of the utility model of the present application. For example, the thermal insulation base 420 can be a ceramic base.

[0171] In summary, through the scheme provided by the embodiment of the present application, during the heating process of the device, although the heat leaked from the insulation structure 600 will cause the overall temperature of the insulation structure 600 to gradually increase with the progress of heating, this part of the leaked heat will not be like the conventional aerosol supply device, which can only be gradually diffused through the mutual heat conduction of the structure in the device, and only after the overall temperature of the device is significantly increased, the low-rate heat dissipation and cooling are achieved through the contact between the outer surface of the device and the air. In contrast, in the aerosol supply device provided by the embodiment of the present application, when the insulation structure 600 receives the heat from the heating leakage, its own temperature will rise to above the ambient atmospheric temperature. At the same time, the air in the first gap 710 is always connected to the atmosphere (under ideal conditions, before the device starts working, the air pressure and temperature in the first gap 710 are the same as the ambient atmosphere). The lower temperature air in the first gap 710 contacts the higher temperature insulation structure 600, and the initial heat conduction effect is generated due to the temperature difference, resulting in the air near the boundary of the insulation structure 600 being heated and the temperature rising. Afterwards, the hot air near the boundary of the thermal insulation structure 600 will have a temperature difference with the air in the outer layer of the first gap 710. Driven by the fluid-fluid temperature field difference, the air in the first gap 710 will produce a natural thermal convection effect, causing the air in the flow field to quickly exchange position, velocity / momentum and heat in the form of vortices, so that the heat is quickly diffused from the thermal insulation structure 600 to the entire air flow layer in the first gap 710.

[0172] Furthermore, since the air in the first gap 710 is connected to the outside world, the air in the first gap 710 heated by the above process will continue to form natural heat convection with the cold air outside through a large number of through holes on the shell 100, and quickly exchange heat to the outside atmosphere through fluid convection. As a result, the colder air outside will be exchanged into the first gap 710 by the convection effect, replacing its own air, and undergoing a new round of heat exchange with the insulation structure 600. During this entire process, the insulation structure 600 is able to continuously contact the relatively low-temperature air for efficient heat dissipation, avoiding the problem of a decrease in the temperature difference between the air layer and the insulation structure 600 and a decrease in heat transfer capacity due to a substantial increase in the temperature of the air layer. The flowing air layer in the first gap 710 layer can thus form a dynamic balance of heat under the action of fluid heat transfer, maintaining a temperature significantly lower than the surface temperature of the insulation structure 600.

[0173] Furthermore, since the shell 100 is made of a highly thermally conductive material and has a large number of through holes thereon, there is a large amount of actual surface contact area between the shell 100 and the air layer exchanged by convection. Therefore, while the air in the first gap 710 is convectively exchanged with the outside world, the solid-fluid two-phase contact between the hotter air and the colder shell will also bring about a considerable heat conduction effect, so that the shell 100 actually plays the role of a "heat sink fin" and transfers part of the heat in the hot air to the shell 100. Since there is not much direct contact between the shell 100 and the insulation structure 600, the solid-solid heat conduction effect is extremely limited and can be approximately ignored. Therefore, only the above-mentioned part of the heat transferred to the shell 100 through air heat transfer is generally limited in rate and value. In addition, the structure and material design of the shell 100 itself are also conducive to heat diffusion. The comprehensive result is that under this design, the surface temperature of the shell 100 is greatly reduced compared with the insulation structure 600, which realizes the thermal decoupling of the device shell 100 and the heat source to a large extent, and significantly improves the thermal management capability of the device.

[0174] In other specific embodiments, the aerosol supply device may also be a circumferential heating method. It is understandable that when the aerosol supply device is a circumferential heating method, it does not have an extractor 200 and a heating needle, but has a heating tube, wherein the structure of the heating tube can refer to the structure of the extractor in the embodiment of the present application, and other structures of the aerosol supply device are the same as the relevant structures in the above embodiment, and the specific contents can refer to the relevant contents described above, which will not be repeated here.

[0175] It should be noted that the aerosol supply device provided in the embodiment of the present application includes, in addition to the components described above, a body 1100, and the components described above are all assembled on the body 1100. It is understandable that the body 1100 also integrates some other components for the aerosol supply device, such as a microcontroller (MCU), a battery, a control circuit, etc., which will not be described one by one here.

[0176] Reference Figure 8 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, a mounting hole 1110 is provided at the bottom of the fuselage 1100, and a first connection hole 1120 and a second connection hole 1130 are provided at the edge of the mounting hole 1110 along the circumference of the mounting hole 1110, the first connection hole 1120 extends in the longitudinal direction of the fuselage, and the second connection hole 1130 extends in the transverse direction of the fuselage. A third connection hole 810 is provided at one end of the base 800 away from the heating needle 410. After the heating module 400 is assembled into the base 800, the base 800 is placed into the mounting hole 1110 of the fuselage 1100, and then the first connection hole 1120 and the third connection hole 810 are connected by bolts or other connecting parts, so that the base 800 is assembled and fixed on the fuselage 1100.

[0177] It is understandable that in order to improve the stability of the installation of the base 800 and the body 1100, in some specific embodiments, the number of the first connection hole 1120 and the number of the third connection hole 810 are both multiple.

[0178] In some specific embodiments, the device may further include a cover plate 1200, which is adapted to the mounting hole 1610. After the base 800 is assembled and fixed on the fuselage 1100, the cover plate 1200 is placed into the mounting hole 1110, and then the cover plate 1200 is assembled and fixed on the fuselage 1100 by bolts and other connecting parts.

[0179] Embodiment 2

[0180] The difference from the first embodiment is that, in the present embodiment, the assembly method of the heat preservation structure 600' is different from that in the first embodiment. Figures 9 to 11As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the inner shell 610' and the outer shell 620' are two independent parts, which are connected together and cooperate to form a hollow structure between the two. The inner shell 610' is provided with a first connector 611', and the outer shell 620' is provided with a second connector 621'.

It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the specific implementation of the first connector 611' and the second connector 621' is not limited, and can be set according to actual product requirements during specific implementation. For example, as an exemplary and non-restrictive explanation, in the embodiment of the present application, the first connector 611' can be a connecting block, and the connecting block is formed on the outer side wall of the inner shell 610' along the lateral direction of the inner shell 610' to extend away from the inner shell 610', and the second connector 621' can be a card slot. When the inner shell 610 ′ and the outer shell 620 ′ are assembled together, the connecting block can be snapped into the snap groove, thereby fixing the inner shell 610 ′ and the outer shell 620 ′ together.

[0181] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the number of the first connector 611' and the second connector 621' is not limited, and the user can set it according to actual product requirements. It is understandable that in order to improve the reliability of the connection between the inner shell 610' and the outer shell 620', the number of the first connector 611' and the second connector 621' can be set to at least 2.

[0182] Further references Fig.11 As shown, as a preferred embodiment, the heat preservation structure 600' in the embodiment of the present application also includes a top cover 660'.

For further reference Fig.12 As shown, a flange 613′ is provided at one end of the inner shell 610′ close to the heating module 400, and the flange 613′ is formed on the outer side wall of the inner shell 610′ and extends in a direction away from the inner shell 610′ along the lateral direction of the inner shell 610′. When the inner shell 610′ and the outer shell 620′ are assembled together, the flange 613′ closes the opening of the above-mentioned hollow structure close to the heating module 400.

[0183] In some specific embodiments, the inner shell 610' is further provided with a third connector 612', and the top cover 660' is provided with a fourth connector 661'. The third connector 612' and the fourth connector 661' can be connected by snapping, thereby realizing the connection between the inner shell 610' and the top cover 660'. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the specific implementation of the third connector 612' and the fourth connector 661' is not limited, and can be set according to actual product requirements during specific implementation. For example, as an exemplary and non-restrictive explanation, in the embodiment of the present application, the third connector 612' can be a connecting block, and the fourth connector 661' can be a card slot. When the inner shell 610' and the top cover 660' are assembled together, the connecting block can be snapped into the card slot, thereby fixing the inner shell 610' and the top cover 660' together.

[0184] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the number of the third connecting member 612' and the fourth connecting member 661' is also not limited, and the user can set it according to actual product requirements. It is understandable that in order to improve the reliability of the connection between the inner shell 610' and the top cover 660', the number of the third connecting member 612' and the fourth connecting member 661' can be set to at least 2.

[0185] It is understandable that the shape of the filling layer 630' can be adaptively adjusted according to the shape of the hollow structure formed between the inner shell 610' and the outer shell 620'. For example, the filling layer 630' is provided with a notch for accommodating the first connector 611' and the second connector 621', etc., which will not be described in detail here.

[0186] As an illustrative but not restrictive description, when assembling the thermal insulation structure 600′ in the implementation of the present application, the filling layer 630′ can be firstly sleeved on the inner shell 610′, and then the outer shell 620′ can be sleeved on the outer periphery of the filling layer 630′, and assembled and fixed by the first connecting member 611′ and the second connecting member 621′. After the inner shell 610′ and the outer shell 620′ are assembled, the top cover 660′ and the inner shell 610′ are assembled and fixed by the third connecting member 612′ and the fourth connecting member 661′ to form a closed cavity.
