[0059] Embodiment 1:

[0060] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4, an embodiment of the present utility model provides a non-combustible heating device 100, which includes a main body 10, a cartridge 20 and a mouthpiece 30. The main body 10 is provided with a mounting position 11 and an air outlet passage 12. The mounting position 11 is arranged on the side of the main body 10, and the air outlet passage 12 communicates with the mounting position 11. The mouthpiece 30 is connected to the main body 10 and communicates with the air outlet passage 12. Thus, the air outlet passage 12 communicates the mouthpiece 30 and the mounting position 11. Among them, the mouthpiece 30 can be fixedly connected to the main body 10 or detachably connected. When the mouthpiece 30 is fixedly connected to the main body 10, the two can be integrally formed or separately arranged.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figures 5 to 7 , the cartridge 20 is movably connected or detachably connected to the mounting position 11. The cartridge 20 is provided with a receiving cavity 21, a loading / unloading opening 22 and an air flow outlet 23 that communicate with the receiving cavity 21 respectively. The receiving cavity 21 is used to receive a columnar aerosol product 200. The loading / unloading opening 22 penetrates the side surface of the cartridge 20 and is used for the aerosol product 200 to enter or exit the receiving cavity 21 from the side. In this way, the aerosol product 200 can be loaded or unloaded from the side of the receiving cavity 21.

[0062] The receiving cavity 21 has a closed state and an open state. The cartridge 20 can move relative to the mounting position 11 to switch the receiving cavity 21 between the closed state and the open state. Specifically, the cartridge 20 is loaded into or detached from the mounting position 11 on the side of the main body 10 to move relative to the mounting position 11.

[0063] When the receiving cavity 21 is in the closed state, the cartridge 20 is installed in the mounting position 11, and the loading / unloading opening 22 is closed by the main body 10. The air flow outlet 23 communicates with the air outlet passage 12, and the aerosol generated in the receiving cavity 21 can flow into the air outlet passage 12 through the air flow outlet 23. When the receiving cavity 21 is in the open state, the loading / unloading opening 22 is exposed, so that the aerosol product 200 can pass through the loading / unloading opening 22 to enter or exit the receiving cavity 21.

[0064] That is to say, when the accommodating cavity 21 is in a closed state, the cartridge 20 is placed within the installation position 11, the access opening 22 is closed by the main body 10, the air outlet 23 is in communication with the air outlet passage 12, the accommodating cavity 21 is in communication with the mouthpiece 30 through the air outlet 23 and the air outlet passage 12, and the aerosol generated by heating the aerosol article 200 located within the accommodating cavity 21 can flow to the mouthpiece 30, so as to discharge the aerosol from the mouthpiece 30. When the accommodating cavity 21 is in an open state, the access opening 22 is exposed, that is, it is no longer closed by the main body 10 and is not closed by other components either. In this way, on the one hand, the old aerosol article 200 can be taken out through the exposed access opening 22 and a new aerosol article 200 can be loaded, thus realizing the replacement of the aerosol article 200; on the other hand, when the accommodating cavity 21 is empty, the cartridge 20 can be cleaned through the access opening 22. The access opening 22 is provided on the side of the cartridge 20, and it is very easy for the user to insert a cleaning tool into the interior of the cartridge 20, improving the convenience of cleaning the cartridge 20.

[0065] Therefore, for the heat-not-burn device 100 provided in this embodiment, the cartridge 20 is convenient and labor-saving to clean, and the aerosol article 200 can be loaded or withdrawn from the side, greatly improving the user experience.

[0066] In one embodiment, the length of the access opening 22 is set to be greater than or equal to the length of the aerosol article 200. In this way, the user can easily place the aerosol article 200 into the accommodating cavity 21 or take it out from the accommodating cavity 21 through the access opening 22. Of course, in specific applications, as an alternative implementation, it is also possible to set the length of the access opening 22 to be less than the length of the aerosol article 200. When adopting this technical solution, the upper or lower part of the access opening 22 needs to be open, that is, the upper or lower part of the access opening 22 is not closed, so that the aerosol article 200 can extend above or below the access opening 22 when passing through the access opening 22.

[0067] In one embodiment, the length of the access opening 22 is 3 mm to 20 mm. Specifically in implementation, the length of the access opening 22 can be set to 3 mm, 5 mm, 7 mm, 9 mm, 11 mm, 13 mm, 15 mm, 17 mm, 19 mm, 20 mm, etc. The height of the fuming matrix 201 for generating aerosol is usually 5 mm to 18 mm. By setting the height of the accommodating cavity 21 to 3 mm to 20 mm, the accommodating cavity 21 can only accommodate the fuming matrix 201. In this way, when using this heat-not-burn device 100, it is only necessary to replace the aerosol article 200 provided only with the fuming matrix 201. Compared with replacing the aerosol article 200 provided with at least one of the cooling section 202, the support section 203, and the auxiliary section 204 (for flavor enhancement or filtration) and the fuming matrix 201, the user's usage cost is greatly reduced.

[0068] In one embodiment, the width of the pick-and-place opening 22 is set to be less than or equal to the diameter of the aerosol article 200. Such a setting is to prevent the aerosol article 200 from easily detaching from the accommodating cavity 21 through the pick-and-place opening 22. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the width of the pick-and-place opening 22 can also be set to be greater than the diameter of the aerosol article 200. When adopting such a technical solution, an interference fit can be set between the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21 and the aerosol article 200, that is, after the aerosol is installed in the accommodating cavity 21, it has an interference fit with the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21 to prevent the aerosol article 200 from detaching from the accommodating cavity 21 through the pick-and-place opening 22. Among them, when taking out the aerosol article 200 through the pick-and-place opening 22, tools can be used for operation, such as tweezers. The aerosol article 200 is clamped by the tweezers, and then the aerosol article 200 in the accommodating cavity 21 is taken out through the pick-and-place opening 22.

[0069] In one embodiment, the width of the pick-and-place opening 22 is 5 mm to 7.5 mm. Specifically, during implementation, the width of the pick-and-place opening 22 can be set to 5 mm, 5.3 mm, 5.6 mm, 5.8 mm, 6 mm, 6.3 mm, 6.7 mm, 7 mm, 7.3 mm, 7.5 mm, etc. The diameter of the aerosol article 200 is usually set to 6.5 mm to 7.5 mm. By setting the width of the pick-and-place opening 22 to 5 mm to 7.5 mm, which is less than or equal to the diameter of the smoke-generating matrix 201, the pick-and-place opening 22 can prevent the aerosol article 200 from easily detaching from the accommodating cavity 21 through the pick-and-place opening 22.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 8 As shown in FIGS. [specific figures not provided], the installation position 11 includes a first side wall 111, a second side wall 112, and a third side wall 113. The first side wall 111 and the second side wall 112 are oppositely arranged, and the third side wall 113 is connected between the first side wall 111 and the second side wall 112. The first side wall 111, the second side wall 112, and the third side wall 113 enclose an installation cavity 114 with an entrance / exit 115. The entrance / exit 115 is used for the cartridge 20 to pass through, so that the cartridge 20 can be installed in the installation cavity 114 or at least partially detached from the installation position 11. Among them, the third side wall 113 can be set as a flat surface or an arc surface. Such a setting enables the installation position 11 to be provided on the side of the main body 10, and the cartridge 20 can be installed from the side of the main body 10 or at least partially detached from the installation position 11.

[0071] When the magazine 20 is at least partially disengaged from the installation position 11, the magazine 20 is exposed, which helps to clean the magazine 20 separately and improves the convenience of cleaning the magazine 20. Moreover, when the magazine 20 is at least partially disengaged from the installation position 11, the air outlet 23 of the magazine 20 is exposed, so that the interior of the magazine 20 can also be cleaned through the air outlet 23. Since the air outlet 23 and the access opening 22 are located on different sides of the magazine 20, the interior of the magazine 20 can be cleaned from different sides, further improving the convenience of cleaning the magazine 20 and also improving the cleaning efficiency of the magazine 20.

[0072] In one embodiment, one end of the air outlet passage 12 close to the installation position 11 (i.e., the end of the air outlet passage 12 far from the air nozzle 30) is opened on the first side wall 111 and communicates with the installation cavity 114. When the accommodating cavity 21 is in a closed state, the air outlet 23 is arranged facing the first side wall 111, and the access opening 22 is arranged facing the third side wall 113. Specifically, when the accommodating cavity 21 is in a closed state, the air outlet 23 faces the first side wall 111 to communicate with the air outlet passage 12, and the access opening 22 faces the third side wall 113 so that the third side wall 113 covers the access opening 22.

[0073] When the non-combustible heating device 100 is in use, the air nozzle 30 is connected above the main body 10, and the air outlet passage 12 is arranged in the upper part of the main body 10 to communicate with the air nozzle 30; the first side wall 111 is located above the installation cavity 114, the second side wall 112 is located below the installation cavity 114, and the third side wall 113 is located on the side of the installation cavity 114.

At least one first seal 41 is sealingly connected between the installation position 11 and the cartridge 20, and is used to seal the gap between the access opening 22 and the third side wall 113, and the gap between the air flow outlet 23 and the first side wall 111. In this embodiment, one first seal 41 is provided. Of course, as an alternative implementation, it is also possible to provide two first seals 41. When adopting this technical solution, one first seal 41 is used to seal the gap between the access opening 22 and the third side wall 113, and the other first seal 41 is used to seal the gap between the air flow outlet 23 and the first side wall 111. Among them, the first seal 41 has a certain elasticity and can be compressed to ensure the sealing performance.

[0076] In one embodiment, the cartridge 20 is provided with a sealing groove 24, and the first seal 41 is received in the sealing groove 24. Among them, the number of the sealing grooves 24 is the same as the number of the first seals 41, and the first seals 41 and the sealing grooves 24 correspond to each other one by one. It can be understood that in other embodiments, it is also possible to provide the sealing groove 24 on the installation position 11.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 7 , the cartridge 20 is further provided with an air inlet 25, and the air flow outlet 23 and the air inlet 25 are respectively provided at both ends of the accommodation cavity 21. Specifically, the air flow outlet 23 is located above the accommodation cavity 21, and the air inlet 25 is located below the accommodation cavity 21. The gas can enter the accommodation cavity 21 from the outside of the cartridge 20 through the air inlet 25, and flow into the air outlet passage 12 through the air flow outlet 23, and then flow to the mouthpiece 30. The aerosol generated by heating the aerosol product 200 located in the accommodation cavity 21 can flow to the mouthpiece 30 along with the flowing gas.

[0082] As an implementation manner, one of the cartridge 20 and the installation position 11 is provided with a slider 51, and the other is provided with a chute 61 slidably engaged with the slider 51. The slider 51 can slide along the chute 61 to enable the cartridge 20 to be loaded into and detached from the installation position 11, so as to realize the switching of the accommodating cavity 21 between the closed state and the open state. In this embodiment, the cartridge 20 is detachably connected to the installation position 11 through the cooperation of the slider 51 and the chute 61.

[0083] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 8, the installation position 11 is provided with a sliding groove 61, and the cartridge chamber 20 is provided with a sliding block 51. When the cartridge chamber 20 needs to be installed on the installation position 11, the sliding block 51 is placed in the sliding groove 61 and slides along the sliding groove 61, and the installation of the cartridge chamber 20 can be realized. In this embodiment, the sliding groove 61 is arranged on the second side wall 112, and the sliding block 51 is arranged on the lower surface of the cartridge chamber 20. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the sliding groove 61 can be arranged on the first side wall 111, and the sliding block 51 can be arranged on the upper surface of the cartridge chamber 20; or, both the first side wall 111 and the second side wall 112 are provided with sliding grooves 61, and both the upper surface and the lower surface of the cartridge chamber 20 are provided with sliding blocks 51.

[0084] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 , the embodiment of the present utility model further provides an aerosol generating system, which includes an aerosol article 200 and the above-mentioned heat-not-burn device 100. The aerosol article 200 is in interference fit with the accommodating cavity 21, and / or the diameter of the aerosol article 200 is less than or equal to the width of the access opening 22.

[0085] By adopting the above-mentioned heat-not-burn device 100, the cartridge chamber 20 can be cleaned through the access opening 22. Since the access opening 22 is located on the side of the cartridge chamber 20, it is very easy for the user to insert the cleaning tool into the interior of the cartridge chamber 20, improving the convenience of cleaning the cartridge chamber 20. By making the aerosol article 200 in interference fit with the accommodating cavity 21, and / or setting the diameter of the aerosol article 200 to be less than or equal to the width of the access opening 22, the aerosol article 200 is not easily separated from the accommodating cavity 21 through the access opening 22, improving the stability of the aerosol accommodated in the accommodating cavity 21.

[0086] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 , the aerosol article 200 includes a smoke-generating matrix 201. The smoke-generating matrix 201 can generate aerosol when heated. With such a setting, the aerosol article 200 accommodated in the accommodating cavity 21 is only the smoke-generating matrix 201, so that the height of the cartridge chamber 20 will not be too high, which is beneficial to the installation or detachment of the cartridge chamber 20 from the installation position 11. And when using this aerosol generating system, only the smoke-generating matrix 201 needs to be replaced, which can reduce the use cost.

[0087] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 10, the aerosol product 200 includes at least one of a cooling section 202, a support section 203, and an auxiliary section 204 and a fuming matrix 201, wherein the auxiliary section 204 is provided with a flavoring material or an adsorbent material.

[0088] By providing the auxiliary section 204, the aerosol flowing through can be flavored or impurities or harmful substances in the aerosol can be adsorbed. By providing the cooling section 202, the aerosol flowing through can be cooled to avoid scalding the user due to too high temperature. By providing the support section 203, the fuming matrix 201 can be supported to prevent the fuming matrix 201 from moving towards the direction close to the air outlet 23 under the action of other components (such as the heating component).

[0089] Embodiment Two:

[0090] The main difference between the heat-not-burn device 100 and the aerosol generating system provided in this embodiment and those in Embodiment One lies in the different connection methods between the cartridge 20 and the installation position 11, specifically: in Embodiment One, the cartridge 20 is detachably connected to the installation position 11 through the cooperation of the slider 51 and the chute 61; while in this embodiment, the cartridge 20 is movably connected to the installation position 11.

[0091] Please refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 , as an implementation manner, one of the cartridge 20 and the installation position 11 is provided with a rotating shaft 52, and the other is provided with a rotating groove 62 that rotatably cooperates with the rotating shaft 52. When the cartridge 20 is installed in the installation position 11, the axis of the rotating shaft 52 is arranged deviating from the axis of the cartridge 20, and the cartridge 20 can rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft 52 to switch the accommodating cavity 21 between a closed state and an open state. Adopting this technical solution, the cartridge 20 is rotatably connected to the installation position 11 and will not completely separate from the main body 10, thereby avoiding the loss of the cartridge 20.

[0092] In this embodiment, the cartridge 20 is provided with a rotating shaft 52, and the first side wall 111 and the second side wall 112 of the installation position 11 are respectively provided with a rotating groove 62. Among them, one rotating shaft 52 is respectively provided on the side of the cartridge 20 facing the first side wall 111 and the side facing the second side wall 112, that is, one rotating shaft 52 is respectively provided on the upper surface and the lower surface of the cartridge 20. With such a setting, both the upper and lower sides of the cartridge 20 can be connected to the installation position 11 through the cooperation of the rotating shaft 52 and the rotating groove 62, improving the installation stability of the cartridge 20. Of course, in other embodiments, it is also possible to provide the rotating shaft 52 only on the upper surface or the lower surface of the cartridge 20.

[0093] Except for the above differences, the heat-not-burn device 100 and other components provided in this embodiment can be designed with reference to Embodiment 1, and details will not be described herein.

[0094] Embodiment 3:

[0095] The main difference between the heat-not-burn device 100 and the aerosol generating system provided in this embodiment and those in Embodiment 1 lies in the different number of accommodation cavities 21 provided in the cartridge 20, specifically: in Embodiment 1, the cartridge 20 is provided with one accommodation cavity 21; while in this embodiment, the cartridge 20 is provided with at least two accommodation cavities 21.

[0096] Please refer to Figures 13 to 15 , in one embodiment, the cartridge 20 is provided with at least two accommodation cavities 21, at least two access ports 22, at least two air flow outlets 23 and at least two air flow inlets 25. Each accommodation cavity 21 is respectively communicated with a corresponding access port 22, air flow outlet 23 and air flow inlet 25. The installation position 11 has one working position and at least one storage position. When the cartridge 20 is installed in the installation position 11, the working position and each storage position correspond to one accommodation cavity 21. The air flow outlet 23 corresponding to the accommodation cavity 21 located at the working position is communicated with the air outlet channel 12, and the air flow inlet 25 corresponding to the accommodation cavity 21 located at the working position is communicated with the air inlet channel 13. In specific applications, the aerosol product 200 in the accommodation cavity 21 located at the working position can be heated to generate aerosol, and the aerosol product 200 in the accommodation cavity 21 located at the storage position is not heated. Among them, a first seal 41 may be provided around the access port 22 to seal the gap between the access port 22 and the third side wall 113. The first seal 41 may be provided on the outer periphery of the cartridge 20 or may also be provided on the main body 10.

[0097] By providing at least two accommodation cavities 21, at least two aerosol products 200 can be loaded or replaced into the cartridge 20 at one time, without the need to replace a new aerosol product 200 after using up one aerosol product 200 before continuing to use. In this way, the frequency of replacing the aerosol product 200 in the cartridge 20 is reduced, the time difference between two replacements of the aerosol product 200 is extended, and the user experience is greatly improved.

[0098] During specific implementation, the accommodation cavity 21 can be provided with two, three, four, five, etc. The arrangement of multiple accommodation cavities 21 is not limited, and they can be arranged in a straight line, in a curve, or in a circular arrangement. Preferably, multiple accommodation cavities 21 are arranged in a circular pattern along the central axis of the cartridge 20.

[0099] When using the heat-not-burn device 100, gas can flow from the outside of the main body 10 through the air intake passage 13 and the air flow inlet 25 corresponding to the accommodation cavity 21 in the working position into the accommodation cavity 21 in the working position, and then flow into the air outlet passage 12 through the air flow outlet 23 corresponding to the accommodation cavity 21, and further flow to the mouthpiece 30. The aerosol in the accommodation cavity 21 in the working position can flow to the mouthpiece 30 along with the flowing gas.

[0100] Please refer to Figure 13 The heat-not-burn device 100 further includes a hatch 70. The hatch 70 is used to cover the entrance 115 of the installation cavity 114. The hatch 70 is movably connected or detachably connected to the main body 10. The hatch 70 can move relative to the main body 10 to open or close the entrance 115. By providing the hatch 70 to cover the entrance 115 of the installation cavity 114, it is possible to prevent the aerosol product 200 in the accommodation cavity 21 in the storage position from being affected by moisture and thus affecting the generation of aerosol.

[0101] As an implementation manner, a third seal (not shown in the figure) is provided between the hatch 70 and the main body 10. The third seal is used to seal the gap between the hatch 70 and the main body 10.

[0102] Please refer to Figure 13 、 Figure 15 and Figure 16 In an embodiment, one of the cartridge 20 and the installation position 11 is provided with a convex portion 53, and the other of the cartridge 20 and the installation position 11 is provided with a sliding groove 61 that slidably cooperates with the convex portion 53, and a limiting groove 63 that rotatably cooperates with the convex portion 53. The sliding groove 61 communicates with the limiting groove 63. The convex portion 53 can slide along the sliding groove 61 to load and unload the cartridge 20 from the installation position 11. When the cartridge 20 is loaded into the installation position 11, the convex portion 53 cooperates with the limiting groove 63, and the convex portion 53 can rotate relative to the limiting groove 63 so that any one of the accommodation cavities 21 on the cartridge 20 rotates to the working position. With such a setting, when the cartridge 20 is installed in the installation position 11, by rotating the convex portion 53 in the limiting groove 63, different accommodation cavities 21 can be switched to the working position, improving the convenience of switching the accommodation cavity 21 to the working position.

[0103] It can be understood that in other embodiments, one of the cartridge 20 and the installation position 11 can be provided with a convex portion 53, and the other can be provided with a sliding groove 61 that slidably cooperates with the convex portion 53. The convex portion 53 can slide along the sliding groove 61 to load and unload the cartridge 20 from the installation position 11 and make any one of all the accommodation cavities 21 be loaded into the working position. When adopting this technical solution, the cartridge 20 needs to be detached from the installation position 11 to replace the accommodation cavity 21 in the working position.

[0104] In this embodiment, a chute 61 and a limiting groove 63 are provided on the first side wall 111 of the installation position 11. The depth of the limiting groove 63 is greater than that of the chute 61. The convex portion 53 has a round-headed columnar structure and is provided on one side of the cartridge 20 facing the first side wall 111 (i.e., the upper surface of the cartridge 20), and is located in the middle. A plurality of accommodating cavities 21 are arranged circumferentially around the convex portion 53 with the convex portion 53 as the center. A second sealing member 42 is provided between the cartridge 20 and the second side wall 112. The second sealing member 42 has a certain elasticity. When the convex portion 53 slides from the chute 61 to the limiting groove 63, the degree of compression of the second sealing member 42 changes from large to small, so that the convex portion 53 can be inserted into the limiting groove 63. It can be understood that in another embodiment, the chute 61 and the limiting groove 63 can be provided on the second side wall 112, and the convex portion 53 can be provided on one side of the cartridge 20 facing the second side wall 112. Or, in another embodiment, the chute 61 and the limiting groove 63 can be provided on the cartridge 20, and the convex portion 53 can be provided on the first side wall 111 or the second side wall 112.

[0105] Except for the above differences, the heat-not-burn device 100 and other components provided in this embodiment can be designed with reference to Embodiment 1, and will not be elaborated here.

[0106] Embodiment 4:

[0107] The main difference between the heat-not-burn device 100 and the aerosol generating system provided in this embodiment and those in Embodiment 3 lies in the different heating methods of the aerosol article 200 in the accommodating cavity 21, specifically: in Embodiment 1, the aerosol article 200 is heated aerobically in the accommodating cavity 21; while in this embodiment, the aerosol article 200 is heated anaerobically in the accommodating cavity 21.

[0108] Please refer to Figure 13 、 Figures 15 to 17, the convex portion 53 is located in the middle of the cartridge 20, and the convex portion 53 is provided with a first intake section 531 therethrough. The cartridge 20 is provided with a second intake section 27 therethrough. The first intake section 531 and the second intake section 27 are in communication. The main body 10 is further provided with a third intake section 14 and a fourth intake section 15. The third intake section 14 communicates with the limiting groove 63 and the air outlet passage 12, and the fourth intake section 15 communicates with the outside and the mounting position 11. When the cartridge 20 is mounted on the mounting position 11, the fourth intake section 15, the second intake section 27, the first intake section 531, and the third intake section 14 are communicated in sequence along the air flow direction. Among them, the first intake section 531 and the second intake section 27 are coaxially arranged. The limiting groove 63 is coaxially arranged with the inlet end of the third intake section 14 (i.e., the end of the third intake section 14 close to the limiting groove 63) and the outlet end of the fourth intake section 15 (i.e., the end of the fourth intake section 15 close to the mounting position 11). When the cartridge 20 is mounted on the mounting position 11, the convex portion 53 is limited in the limiting groove 63. The first intake section 531 is coaxially arranged and butt-connected with the inlet end of the third intake section 14, and the second intake section 27 is coaxially arranged and butt-connected with the outlet end of the fourth intake section 15.

[0109] When using the heat-not-burn device 100, gas can flow from the outside of the main body 10 through the fourth intake section 15, the second intake section 27, the first intake section 531, and the third intake section 14 in sequence to the nozzle 30, so as to generate a negative pressure environment in the nozzle 30 where the air pressure is lower than the air pressure in the accommodating cavity 21 at the working position, thereby causing the aerosol in the accommodating cavity 21 at the working position to flow to the nozzle 30. Since no air flow passes through the accommodating cavity 21 at the working position, therefore, the aerosol product 200 in the accommodating cavity 21 is heated to generate aerosol in an oxygen-free manner.

[0110] Except for the above differences, the heat-not-burn device 100 and other components provided in this embodiment can be designed with reference to Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 3, and details will not be described herein.
