[0035] In addition, the features, operations or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any appropriate manner to form various implementations, and the operation steps involved in each embodiment can also be replaced or adjusted in a sequence in a manner that is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the specification and drawings are only for the purpose of clearly describing a certain embodiment and do not mean that the composition and / or sequence are necessary.

[0036] 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).

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present embodiment provides a self-starting device for an atomizing device, comprising a trigger assembly and a controller; the trigger assembly is arranged on the path through which the aerosol generating substrate 10 passes when entering the atomizing device, and the trigger assembly is provided with a through hole along the axial direction for the aerosol generating substrate 10 to pass through; the inner diameter of the top opening of the through hole is larger than the inner diameter of the middle part of the through hole, and the inner diameter of the middle part of the through hole is smaller than the diameter of the aerosol generating substrate 10; when the aerosol generating substrate 10 passes through the middle part of the through hole from the top of the through hole, the side wall of the middle part of the through hole is squeezed to make the trigger assembly generate an electrical signal; the controller is electrically connected to the trigger assembly, and the controller is used to control the heating assembly 50 of the atomizing device to heat up under the triggering of the electrical signal.

[0038] The self-starting device of this embodiment includes a trigger component and a controller, wherein the controller can be a PCBA control board, and the trigger component is set on the path that the aerosol generating substrate 10 passes through when entering the atomizing device. Specifically, the atomizing device is provided with a receiving cavity for inserting the aerosol generating substrate 10, and the trigger component can be set at any position of the receiving cavity, as long as the aerosol generating substrate 10 passes through the position. The trigger component is provided with a through hole in the axial direction, which is coaxial with the receiving cavity, and ensures that the inner diameter of the middle position of the through hole is smaller than the diameter of the aerosol generating substrate 10, and the inner diameter of the upper position of the through hole is larger than the inner diameter of the middle position.

[0039] In actual use, when the aerosol generating substrate 10 enters the accommodating chamber of the atomizing device, it will pass through the through hole of the trigger component. When the aerosol generating substrate 10 passes through the middle of the through hole, the inner wall of the through hole is squeezed and generates an electrical signal. Since the trigger component is electrically connected to the controller, the electrical signal is transmitted to the controller. After receiving the electrical signal, the controller controls the heating component 50 to heat the aerosol generating substrate 10. By adopting the self-starting device of the atomizing device of this embodiment, the possibility of the device being triggered by mistake is reduced, and it is easy to use, can save electricity, and effectively extend the service life.

[0040] In specific use, the atomization device is a heat-not-burn smoking device, and the aerosol generating substrate 10 is a cigarette cartridge or a cigarette.

[0041] Furthermore, the trigger assembly is located above the path that the aerosol generating substrate 10 takes when entering the atomizing device.

[0042] As an implementation of this embodiment, the trigger assembly is arranged above the path that the aerosol generating substrate 10 passes through when entering the atomizing device, that is, the trigger assembly is arranged above the accommodating chamber. On the one hand, since the cigarette cartridge is inserted into the accommodating chamber from top to bottom, the trigger assembly is arranged above the accommodating chamber, so it can quickly determine whether a cigarette cartridge is inserted and respond, thereby reducing waiting time. On the other hand, the trigger assembly is arranged above the accommodating chamber, which can facilitate the installation of the trigger assembly.

[0043] Furthermore, Figure 2 As shown, the self-starting device of the atomizing device of this embodiment further includes a support structure 20. The support structure 20 is arranged on the outside of the trigger assembly and is used to fix and limit the trigger assembly.

[0044] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the support structure 20 is arranged above the atomization device and on the outside of the trigger assembly. The support structure 20 is used to limit and fix the trigger assembly. When the cigarette cartridge is inserted into the through hole of the trigger assembly, the hole wall will be squeezed, which may cause the trigger assembly to move. Therefore, by setting the support structure 20 to fix the trigger assembly, the displacement of the trigger assembly can be avoided, thereby achieving a stable connection between the trigger assembly and the controller.

[0045] Furthermore, Figure 3-Figure 6 As shown, the support structure 20 includes a connected shell 21 and a limiting plate 22; an opening is provided at the top of the shell 21, and the opening is connected to the through hole for allowing the aerosol generating matrix 10 to pass through; the limiting plate 22 is arranged below the opening and is arranged around the circumference of the opening to form a accommodating space; the trigger component is arranged in the accommodating space, and the outer side wall of the trigger component is in contact with the inner surface of the limiting plate 22.

[0046] As a specific implementation method, the support structure 20 includes a shell 21 and a limit plate 22 connected to each other, wherein the shell 21 and the limit plate 22 can be connected in an integrally formed manner or can be connected in other ways. Specifically, the upper surface of the shell 21 is set as a cover plate, and an opening is provided on the cover plate, which is connected to the through hole of the trigger assembly, and the smoke bomb can enter the through hole through the opening. The limit plate 22 is set below the opening and is arranged around the opening to form a accommodating space. Then, the trigger assembly is set in the accommodating space, and the limit plate 22 is used to limit the trigger assembly, so as to avoid the movement of the trigger assembly after the inner wall of the through hole of the trigger assembly is squeezed. In order to further ensure the fixing and limiting effect, the outer wall of the trigger assembly is in contact with the inner surface of the limit plate 22, so as to reduce the gap between the trigger assembly and the limit plate 22.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, the trigger assembly includes a fastener 30 and a pressure sensor 40; the fastener 30 is arranged in the accommodating space, and a through hole is axially arranged at the center of the fastener 30 for the aerosol generating matrix 10 to pass through; the pressure sensor 40 is arranged between the fastener 30 and the limiting plate 22, and is in contact with the fastener 30 and the limiting plate 22 respectively, and the pressure sensor 40 is connected to the controller.

[0048] As a specific implementation, the trigger assembly includes a fastener 30 and a pressure sensor 40. Specifically, the fastener 30 is set in the accommodation space formed by the limiting plate 22, and a through hole is set axially at the center position of the fastener 30. The inner diameter of the middle position of the through hole is smaller than the diameter of the cigarette cartridge, and the inner diameter of the upper position of the through hole is larger than the inner diameter of the middle position. This arrangement allows the cigarette cartridge to be smoothly inserted into the through hole and pass through the middle of the through hole to the deep end of the heat-not-burn cigarette device accommodation cavity. Then, a pressure sensor 40 is set in the gap between the fastener 30 and the limiting plate 22. When the fastener 30 is squeezed, the pressure sensor 40 can quickly sense the pressure and generate an electrical signal. In addition, the pressure sensor 40 is connected to the controller, so that the electrical signal generated by the pressure sensor 40 can be transmitted to the controller.

[0049] As a further improvement of this embodiment, in order to ensure that the fastener 30 is squeezed and deformed when the cigarette cartridge is inserted, and the fastener 30 returns to its original state when the cigarette cartridge is taken out, the fastener 30 is made of an elastic material, specifically, the fastener 30 can be made of silicone material.

[0050] As a specific implementation, the pressure sensor 40 includes a resistance strain gauge 41 and a lead 42. Figure 2 Specifically, the resistance strain gauge 41 is arranged around the outer surface of the fastener 30, and is in contact with the outer surface of the fastener 30 and the inner surface of the limit plate 22 respectively; the lead 42 is connected to the resistance strain gauge 41, and a notch 23 is provided on the limit plate 22, and the lead 42 passes through the notch 23 and is connected to the controller. Among them, the lead 42 is a wire. Alternatively, the notch 23 is set as a U-shaped notch 23, and the resistance strain gauge 41 is arranged around the outer surface of the fastener 30, and one end thereof passes through the U-shaped notch, and the lead 42 is arranged at one end of the resistance strain gauge 41 extending out of the U-shaped notch and connected to the controller (PCBA control board) to transmit the electrical signal to the controller. Specifically, the resistance strain gauge 41 adopts a foil resistance strain gauge 41. Such a setting is easy to install and has sensitive sensing.

[0052] In actual use, the power supply device supplies power to the self-starting device and the heating component 50, and the self-starting device and the heating component 50 are electrically connected. When the cigarette cartridge triggers the self-starting device, the self-starting device controls the heating component 50 to start heating. Specifically, the self-starting device is described in detail in the above embodiment, and this embodiment will not be described in detail here.

[0053] The above specific examples are used to illustrate the present invention, which are only used to help understand the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art of the present invention, some simple deductions, deformations or substitutions can be made based on the idea of ​​the present invention.
