[0053] Embodiment 1:

[0054] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the embodiment of the present utility model provides a non-combustible heating device 100, which includes a main body 10, a mouthpiece 20 and a cartridge 30. The main body 10 has a mounting position 11 and an air outlet channel 12. The mounting position 11 penetrates at least one side wall of the main body 10, and the air outlet channel 12 is communicated with the mounting position 11. The mouthpiece 20 is connected to the main body 10 and is communicated with the air outlet channel 12. Specifically, one end of the air outlet channel 12 is communicated with the mounting position 11, and the other end is communicated with the mouthpiece 20.

[0055] Please refer to Figures 4 to 6 , the cartridge 30 is movably connected or detachably connected to the mounting position 11. The cartridge 30 is provided with a receiving cavity 31, a first through hole 32 and a second through hole 33. Both the first through hole 32 and the second through hole 33 are communicated with the receiving cavity 31 and are arranged at opposite ends of the receiving cavity 31. Among them, the first through hole 32 and the second through hole 33 are arranged at both ends of the receiving cavity 31 along the height direction of the cartridge 30 or the receiving cavity 31. The receiving cavity 31 is used to receive a columnar aerosol product 200. The first through hole 32 and the second through hole 33 are communicated with opposite ends of the receiving cavity 31, so that the first through hole 32 and the second through hole 33 can be passed through by the aerosol product 200 to enter or leave the receiving cavity 31.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the cartridge 30 has a closed state and an open state, and can move relative to the mounting position 11 to switch between the closed state and the open state. When the cartridge 30 is in the closed state, the cartridge 30 is located within the mounting position 11, and the first through hole 32 is docked and communicated with the air outlet channel 12; when the cartridge 30 is in the open state, the cartridge 30 is at least partially disengaged from the mounting position 11, so that both the first through hole 32 and the second through hole 33 are exposed outside the main body 10.

[0057] When the cartridge 30 is in the closed state, the first through hole 32 is docked and communicated with the air outlet channel 12 to communicate the receiving cavity 31 with the mouthpiece 20. The aerosol generated by heating the aerosol product 200 in the receiving cavity 31 can flow to the mouthpiece 20 through the first through hole 32 and the air outlet channel 12. In this way, the aerosol can be discharged from the mouthpiece 20.

[0058] When the cartridge 30 is in the open state, the cartridge 30 is at least partially disengaged from the mounting position 11, and both the first through hole 32 and the second through hole 33 are exposed outside the main body 10. In this way, on the one hand, since the cartridge 30 is at least partially disengaged from the mounting position 11, the cartridge 30 is at least partially exposed outside the main body 10, which is conducive to cleaning the cartridge 30 separately; on the other hand, since both the first through hole 32 and the second through hole 33 are exposed outside the main body 10, the aerosol article 200 can conveniently pass through the first through hole 32 and the second through hole 33, which is conducive to the replacement of the aerosol article 200.

[0059] During specific implementation, when the cartridge 30 is in the open state, the operator can insert a new aerosol article 200 into the accommodation cavity 31 through the first through hole 32. The old aerosol article 200 located in the accommodation cavity 31 can be discharged from the second through hole 33 under the push of the new aerosol article 200, so as to realize the replacement of the aerosol article 200. Of course, the operator can also insert a new aerosol article 200 into the accommodation cavity 31 through the second through hole 33. The old aerosol article 200 located in the accommodation cavity 31 can be discharged from the first through hole 32 under the push of the new aerosol article 200, so as to realize the replacement of the aerosol article 200. Therefore, by providing the first through hole 32 and the second through hole 33 communicating with the accommodation cavity 31, the new aerosol article 200 can enter the accommodation cavity 31 through one of the through holes, and the old aerosol article 200 can disengage from the accommodation cavity 31 through the other through hole. Substances such as debris generated by the old aerosol article 200 can be discharged from the accommodation cavity 31 through the other through hole under the push of the new aerosol article 200, avoiding these substances remaining in the accommodation cavity 31, which helps to clean the cartridge 30. Moreover, during the process of taking out the old aerosol article 200 from the accommodation cavity 31, the operator does not need to directly operate on the old aerosol article 200, which can avoid the operator from being scalded.

[0060] Therefore, by adopting the heat-not-burn device 100 provided by the embodiment of the present utility model, on the one hand, the convenience of cleaning the cartridge 30 can be improved by cleaning the cartridge 30 separately; on the other hand, it can be avoided that substances such as debris generated during the process of taking out the old aerosol article 200 remain in the accommodation cavity 31, which is further conducive to the cleaning of the cartridge 30. Therefore, for the heat-not-burn device 100 provided by the embodiment of the present utility model, the cartridge 30 is convenient and labor-saving to clean, which greatly improves the user experience.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6, the accommodating chamber 31 is provided with a clamping section 311, and the clamping section 311 is used to have an interference fit with the aerosol product 200 in the accommodating chamber 31. In this way, when the aerosol product 200 is placed in the accommodating chamber 31, the aerosol product 200 will not easily detach from the accommodating chamber 31 from the through hole below the accommodating chamber 31 under the action of gravity. In this embodiment, the first through hole 32 is used to communicate with the air outlet channel 12. When the heat-not-burn device 100 is used, the first through hole 32 is usually located above the accommodating chamber 31, and the second through hole 33 is usually located below the accommodating chamber 31. Therefore, when the aerosol product 200 is placed in the accommodating chamber 31, the clamping section 311 has an interference fit with the aerosol product 200, and the aerosol product 200 will not easily detach from the accommodating chamber 31 from the second through hole 33.

[0062] In one embodiment, the aperture of the first through hole 32 is greater than or equal to the aperture of the clamping section 311, so that the aerosol product 200 can enter the accommodating chamber 31 from the first through hole 32. The aperture of the second through hole 33 is greater than, equal to, or smaller than the aperture of the clamping section 311, so that the aerosol product 200 can be separated from the accommodating chamber 31 from the second through hole 33.

[0063] When the aperture of the second through hole 33 is set to be greater than or equal to the aperture of the clamping section 311, the aerosol product 200 can be easily separated from the accommodating cavity 31 from the second through hole 33. When the aperture of the second through hole 33 is set to be smaller than the aperture of the clamping section 311, it is necessary to meet the requirement that the old aerosol product 200 can be separated from the accommodating cavity 31 from the second through hole 33 under the push of the new aerosol product 200, so the aperture of the second through hole 33 cannot be set too small. In addition, when the aperture of the second through hole 33 is set to be equal to or smaller than the aperture of the clamping section 311, the aerosol product 200 and the second through hole 33 have an interference fit. In particular, when the aperture of the second through hole 33 is smaller than the aperture of the clamping section 311, the interference fit of the aerosol product 200 at the second through hole 33 is greater. In this way, on the one hand, the aerosol product 200 in the accommodating cavity 31 can be prevented from escaping from the accommodating cavity 31 through the second through hole 33. On the other hand, the airtightness between the aerosol product 200 and the accommodating cavity 31 can be improved, so that the gas can pass through the aerosol product 200 and take away the aerosol as much as possible.

[0064] In specific implementation, the aperture diameter of the first through hole 32 can be set to be larger than that of the clamping section 311, and the aperture diameter of the second through hole 33 can be larger than, equal to, or smaller than that of the clamping section 311; or, the aperture diameter of the first through hole 32 can be set to be equal to that of the clamping section 311, and the aperture diameter of the second through hole 33 can be larger than, equal to, or smaller than that of the clamping section 311. To improve the convenience of forming the accommodation cavity 31, the first through hole 32, and the second through hole 33 in the cartridge 30, generally, the aperture diameters of the first through hole 32, the second through hole 33, and the diameter of the accommodation cavity 31 are set to be equal. When adopting this technical solution, the entire accommodation cavity 31 is formed as the clamping section 311.

[0065] In one embodiment, the aperture diameter of the clamping section 311 is 5 mm to 7.3 mm. In specific implementation, the aperture diameter of the clamping section 311 can be 5 mm, 5.3 mm, 5.6 mm, 5.8 mm, 6 mm, 6.3 mm, 6.7 mm, 7 mm, 7.3 mm, etc. The aperture diameter of the clamping section 311 meets the interference fit with the aerosol article 200 and can cause the aerosol article 200 to move under an external force.

[0066] In one embodiment, the height of the accommodation cavity 31 is 3 mm to 20 mm. In specific implementation, the height of the accommodation cavity 31 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. In this embodiment, the height of the aerosol generating fuming matrix 201 can be 3 mm to 18 mm. In this embodiment, the height of the accommodation cavity 31 is set to 3 mm to 20 mm so that the accommodation cavity 31 can only accommodate the fuming matrix 201. Thus, for the heat-not-burn device 100 provided in this embodiment, only the fuming matrix 201 needs to be replaced, greatly reducing the user's usage cost.

[0067] Please refer to Figures 6 to 8 , the installation position 11 includes a notch 111 formed on the side of the main body 10. In the open state, both the first through hole 32 and the second through hole 33 of the cartridge 30 are located outside the notch 111. Specifically, the main body 10 includes a first groove wall 13, a second groove wall 14, and a third groove wall 15. The first groove wall 13 and the second groove wall 14 are arranged oppositely, and the third groove wall 15 is connected between the first groove wall 13 and the second groove wall 14. The first groove wall 13, the second groove wall 14, and the third groove wall 15 enclose to form the notch 111. One end of the air outlet channel 12 close to the installation position 11 is opened on the first groove wall 13.

[0068] In one embodiment, at least one of the main body 10 or the cartridge 30 is further provided with an air inlet channel 40 for allowing external gas to flow into the heat-not-burn device 100. In specific implementation, the air inlet channel 40 can be arranged on the main body 10, can also be arranged on the cartridge 30, or can also be arranged between the main body 10 and the cartridge 30.

[0069] Please refer to Figures 6 to 8 In one embodiment, an intake passage 40 is provided in the main body 10. One end of the intake passage 40 communicates with the outside, and the other end is opened on the second groove wall 14. When the cartridge 30 is in the closed state, the second through hole 33 is docked with the intake passage 40 and communicates with the intake passage 40. With this arrangement, gas can enter the accommodation cavity 31 from the outside through the intake passage 40 and the second through hole 33, and be sucked to the mouthpiece 20 through the accommodation cavity 31. The aerosol in the accommodation cavity 31 can flow towards the mouthpiece 20 along with the air flow. Wherein, the end of the intake passage 40 communicating with the outside can be opened at any part of the main body 10, that is, the end of the intake passage 40 far from the second groove wall 14 can be opened at any part of the main body 10, such as the bottom or side of the main body 10.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 7 and Figure 9 In one embodiment, an intake passage 40 is provided in the main body 10. One end of the intake passage 40 communicates with the outside, and the other end communicates with the outlet passage 12. With this arrangement, when the cartridge 30 is in the closed state, the second groove wall 14 covers the second through hole 33, and the aerosol product 200 is anaerobically heated in the accommodation cavity 31 to generate aerosol. Gas is sucked from the outside through the intake passage 40 and the outlet passage 12 to the mouthpiece 20, and at the same time, a negative pressure environment with a pressure lower than that in the accommodation cavity 31 is generated in the mouthpiece 20, so that the aerosol is sucked to the mouthpiece 20. It can be understood that in another embodiment, it is also possible that the other end of the intake passage 40 is also communicated with the mouthpiece 20. When adopting this technical solution, part of the gas passes through the intake passage 40 from the outside, mixes and cools the aerosol after converging with the aerosol, and finally is sucked to the mouthpiece 20.

[0071] Please refer to Figure 10 In one embodiment, an intake passage 40 is provided in the cartridge 30. One end of the intake passage 40 communicates with the outside, and the other end communicates with the accommodation cavity 31. With this arrangement, when the cartridge 30 is in the closed state, gas can be sucked from the outside through the intake passage 40 and the accommodation cavity 31 to the mouthpiece 20, and the aerosol in the accommodation cavity 31 can be sucked to the mouthpiece 20 together with the gas.

[0072] In referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 11, in one embodiment, the air inlet passage 40 is provided between the cartridge 30 and the main body 10. The second groove wall 14 of the main body 10 is provided with a first diversion groove 41, and the cartridge 30 is provided with a second diversion groove 42 that matches the first diversion groove 41, and the second diversion groove 42 communicates with the second through hole 33. When the cartridge 30 is in the closed state, the first diversion groove 41 and the second diversion groove 42 enclose to form the air inlet passage 40. One end of the air inlet passage 40 communicates with the outside, and the other end communicates with the second through hole 33. Gas can enter the accommodation cavity 31 from the outside through the air inlet passage 40 and the second through hole 33, and be sucked to the mouthpiece 20 through the accommodation cavity 31. The aerosol in the accommodation cavity 31 can be sucked to the mouthpiece 20 together with the gas. It can be understood that, in another embodiment, the first groove wall 13 of the main body 10 is provided with the first diversion groove 41, and the first diversion groove 41 communicates with the air outlet passage 12, and the cartridge 30 is provided with the second diversion groove 42 that matches the first diversion groove 41, and the second diversion groove 42 communicates with the first through hole 32 is also possible. With this technical solution, when the cartridge 30 is in the closed state, the second groove wall 14 covers the second through hole 33, and the aerosol product 200 is heated anaerobically in the accommodation cavity 31 to generate aerosol. Gas is sucked from the outside through the air inlet passage 40 and the air outlet passage 12 to the mouthpiece 20, and at the same time, a negative pressure is formed in the accommodation cavity 31, so that the aerosol can flow to the mouthpiece 20.

[0073] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 12 , the heat-not-burn device 100 further includes a heat insulation layer 50. At least one layer of the heat insulation layer 50 is provided on the side of the cartridge 30 facing away from the accommodation cavity 31, and / or at least one layer of the heat insulation layer 50 is provided on the side of the cartridge 30 facing the accommodation cavity 31. By providing the heat insulation layer 50, on the one hand, it can prevent the heat loss in the accommodation cavity 31 from affecting the heating of the aerosol product 200, and on the other hand, when the operator switches the cartridge 30 from the closed state to the open state, it can avoid the operator being scalded when contacting the cartridge 30.

[0074] In one embodiment, the heat-not-burn device 100 further includes a heating component (not shown in the figure). The heating component is used to heat the aerosol product 200 in the accommodation cavity 31 to generate aerosol. Among them, the heating component can be arranged in the cartridge 30, can also be arranged in the main body 10, or can be partially arranged in the cartridge 30 and partially arranged in the main body 10.

The slider 61 can slide along the chute 62 to enable the cartridge 30 to be inserted into and at least partially separated from the mounting position 11, so as to realize the switching of the cartridge 30 between the closed state and the open state. And / or, one of the cartridge 30 and the mounting position 11 is provided with a first magnetic member 71, and the other is provided with a second magnetic member 72 that magnetically cooperates with the first magnetic member 71. When the first magnetic member 71 and the second magnetic member 72 are magnetically engaged, the cartridge 30 is in the closed state, and when the first magnetic member 71 and the second magnetic member 72 are separated, the cartridge 30 is in the open state.

[0076] Please refer to Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 12 , the mounting position 11 is provided with a slider 61 and a first magnetic member 71, the cartridge 30 is provided with a chute 62 and a second magnetic member 72, the cartridge 30 is detachably connected to the main body 10. After the cartridge 30 is installed in the mounting position 11 by the sliding cooperation of the slider 61 and the chute 62, the first magnetic member 71 and the second magnetic member 72 are magnetically adsorbed to firmly mount the cartridge 30 in the mounting position 11. Wherein, both the first groove wall 13 and the second groove wall 14 are provided with sliders 61, and the third groove wall 15 is provided with a first magnetic member 71. It can be understood that in other embodiments, it is also possible that one of the first groove wall 13 and the second groove wall 14 is provided with a slider 61.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the embodiment of the present utility model further provides an aerosol generating system, including an aerosol article 200 and the above-mentioned heat-not-burn device 100, and the aerosol article 200 is in interference fit with the accommodating cavity 31.

[0078] By adopting the above-mentioned heat-not-burn device 100, on the one hand, the cartridge 30 is easy to clean, and on the other hand, when replacing the aerosol article 200, the operator does not need to directly operate on the old aerosol article 200, which can avoid the operator from being scalded.

[0079] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 13 , the aerosol article 200 includes a smoke generating matrix 201, and the length of the smoke generating matrix 201 is the same as the length of the aerosol article 200. The smoke generating matrix 201 can generate aerosol when heated. With such a setting, the aerosol article 200 accommodated in the accommodating cavity 31 is only the smoke generating matrix 201, so that the height of the cartridge 30 will not be too high, which is beneficial to the switching of the cartridge 30 between the closed state and the open state. And when using this aerosol generating system, only the smoke generating matrix 201 needs to be replaced, which can reduce the use cost.

[0080] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 14 , the aerosol article 200 includes at least one of a cooling section 202, a support section 203, and an auxiliary section 204 and a smoke-generating matrix 201, wherein the auxiliary section 204 is provided with a flavoring material or an adsorbent material.

[0081] By providing the auxiliary section 204, the aerosol flowing through can be flavored or the 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 smoke-generating matrix 201 can be supported to prevent the smoke-generating matrix 201 from moving towards the direction close to the first through-hole 32 under the action of other components (such as a heating component).
