[0002] In recent years, as the number of people using aerosol generating devices has gradually increased, people's requirements for aerosol generating devices have also become higher and higher. In order to meet the needs of the majority of consumers, an aerosol generating device with a power that can vary with the size of the intake air volume has emerged on the market. However, there are some problems with the aerosol generating devices currently on the market: First, the number of adjustment gears of the aerosol generating device is small, resulting in a relatively small adjustment range of power and intake air volume, and it cannot meet more diverse usage requirements; Second, the aerosol generating devices currently disclosed mainly achieve adjustment through a gear structure. However, this adjustment method is affected by factors such as the size and number of teeth of the gears, and there is a problem of poor synchronous adjustment effect of power and intake air volume during actual use, which affects the atomization effect of the aerosol generating device, and the overall reliability of the device is relatively poor.

[0044] Referring to Figures 1 - 8 , this application discloses an adjustment assembly 10 of an aerosol generating device. The specific structure and usage mode of the adjustment assembly 10 of the aerosol generating device will be described in detail below with reference to the specification and its accompanying drawings.

[0045] In a first aspect, an embodiment of this application provides an adjustment assembly 10 of an aerosol generating device, including a housing 1, an adjustment switch 2, a control member 3, and a detection member. Please refer to Figures 1 - 3, wherein the housing 1 is provided with an adjustment groove 11 and an air inlet 12. The adjustment groove 11 extends along the first direction X, and the first direction X is orthogonal to the thickness direction of the housing 1; the adjustment switch 2 is passed through the housing 1 through the adjustment groove 11, and the adjustment switch 2 includes an air adjustment plate 21; the control member 3 is arranged in the thickness direction of the housing 1, the detection member is electrically connected to the control member 3, and the detection member is used to detect the position of the adjustment switch 2 so that the control member 3 adjusts the power according to the position of the adjustment switch 2; when the adjustment switch 2 translates along the adjustment groove 11, the air adjustment plate 21 can expose at least part of the air inlet 12 relative to the adjustment switch 2.

[0046] Specifically, the above-mentioned housing 1 can be a part of the outer shell of the aerosol generating device 100, and the external environmental gas can enter the aerosol generating device 100 through the air inlet 12 provided on the housing 1. The above-mentioned adjustment groove 11 runs through the thickness direction of the housing 1. For the convenience of operation and adjustment, the adjustment groove 11 is usually arranged in the middle of the housing 1. The adjustment switch 2 is connected to the housing 1 through the adjustment groove 11 and can reciprocate relative to the housing 1 along the path defined by the adjustment groove 11. The above-mentioned air inlet 12 is located on the moving path of the adjustment switch 2 and can be completely blocked by the air adjustment plate 21 of the adjustment switch 2.

[0047] During the movement of the adjustment switch 2, the air adjustment plate 21 can expose at least part of the air inlet 12, so as to realize the adjustment of the air intake area.

[0048] Specifically, the above-mentioned air inlet 12 can switch between three states of being completely blocked, partially exposed, and completely exposed as the adjustment switch 2 moves. When the adjustment switch 2 moves to one end of the path along the adjustment groove 11, the air inlet 12 is in one of the two states of being completely blocked and completely exposed at this time; when the adjustment switch 2 moves to the middle along the adjustment groove 11, the air inlet 12 is partially exposed at this time. By adjusting the exposed part of the air inlet 12, the adjustment of the air intake area can be realized.

[0049] The above-mentioned control member 3 can be a PCB board (Printed Circuit Board). The detection member is used to be electrically connected to the PCB board and can be fixedly arranged on the PCB board.

[0050] The detection component can be a resistive position sensor, a capacitive sensor, etc. When the adjustment switch 2 moves along the adjustment groove 11, the electrical parameters it detects change. The detection component can cause the electrical parameters inside the PCB board to change through the detected change in electrical parameters, and the PCB board can make corresponding parameter adjustments according to the change. In addition to the basic atomization control function of the conventional aerosol generating device 100, the above PCB board also has an adjustment component for power adjustment. The adjustment component can be an MCU (Microcontroller Unit), and the MCU can be used to adjust the power of related components according to the adjustment signal (i.e., the change in electrical parameters) issued at the control component 3.

[0051] In the above embodiment, the adjustment switch 2 moves along the adjustment groove 11. Moving the adjustment switch 2 realizes the synchronous adjustment of the air intake amount and power. Among them, the adjustment switch 2 moves relative to the housing 1 and adjusts the intake area of the air intake port 12 when moving. At the same time, in this process, the detection component is used to detect the position of the adjustment switch 2, and the control component 3 adjusts the power according to the position of the adjustment switch 2, realizing the synchronous adjustment of the air intake amount and power. The synchronous effect is good, and at this time, the synchronous adjustment effect of the power and air intake amount of the aerosol generating device 100 is good.

[0052] In some embodiments, the above air adjustment plate 21 and the control component 3 can be located on the same side of the housing 1 in the thickness direction, or can be respectively arranged on both sides of the housing 1 in the thickness direction.

[0053] Please refer to Figures 1 - 3 , the structure of the adjustment component 10 of the aerosol generating device will be specifically described below with the air adjustment plate 21 and the control component 3 respectively located on both sides of the housing 1 in the thickness direction.

[0054] In some embodiments, the above air intake port 12 can be set as a complete through-hole structure, or the above air intake port 12 can be formed by a plurality of independent ventilation holes 121. The maximum intake area of the above air intake port 12 is the sum of the intake areas of all the ventilation holes 121.

[0055] When a certain ventilation hole 121 is exposed relative to the air adjustment plate 21, at this time, the ventilation hole 121 can be used for air intake. When the ventilation hole 121 overlaps with the air adjustment plate 21, the ventilation hole 121 is in a blocked state. The blocked ventilation hole 121 is in a closed state and cannot be used for air intake. In the thickness direction of the housing 1, the projection of the ventilation hole 121 blocked by the air adjustment plate 21 falls within the projection range of the air adjustment plate 21.

[0056] Specifically, the number of ventilation holes 121 is at least three, and at least some of the ventilation holes 121 are arranged at intervals in sequence along the first direction X. When the adjustment switch 2 moves along the adjustment groove 11, the air adjustment plate 21 can overlap with at least some of the ventilation holes 121 to close the ventilation holes 121.

[0057] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned ventilation holes 121 may be structures such as round holes, square holes, and oval holes.

[0058] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 4A - 4D , the number of the above-mentioned ventilation holes 121 is four. At this time, the air inlet 12 has a relatively more flexible adjustment range, which can meet the adjustment requirements of more gears. When the adjustment switch 2 moves along the adjustment groove 11, the four ventilation holes 121 can all overlap with the air adjustment plate 21 or be completely exposed relative to the air adjustment plate 21 as the adjustment switch 2 moves.

[0059] When moving the adjustment switch 2, the air adjustment plate 21 moves synchronously. As the air adjustment plate 21 moves, at least some of the air inlets 12 (that is, several ventilation holes 121) can be exposed relative to the air adjustment plate 21, so as to realize the adjustment of the air intake area.

[0060] Taking Figure 4A the structure shown in as an example, when all the ventilation holes 121 are exposed relative to the air adjustment plate 21, the air intake area is the largest at this time, and the air intake volume also reaches the highest. Please refer to Figure 4A ; when three ventilation holes 121 are exposed relative to the air adjustment plate 21 and one ventilation hole 121 is blocked by the air adjustment plate 21, the air intake area is medium at this time, and the air intake volume is medium. Please refer to Figure 4B ; when two ventilation holes 121 are exposed relative to the air adjustment plate 21 and two ventilation holes 121 are blocked by the air adjustment plate 21, the air intake area is the smallest at this time, and the air intake volume is the smallest. Please refer to Figure 4C ; when all the ventilation holes 121 are blocked by the air adjustment plate 21, the air intake volume is zero at this time. Please refer to Figure 4D . That is to say, when the adjustment switch 2 moves to the end point of the path along the first direction X, all the ventilation holes 121 are blocked or leaked relative to the air adjustment plate 21.

[0061] In some embodiments, it can be set that when the air intake volume is zero, the aerosol generating device 100 is in a shutdown or standby state. This method is already well-known in the related art and will not be elaborated here.

[0062] The above embodiments provide four different gears, and the user can select between different gears according to needs. Of course, in other embodiments, the adjustment component 10 of the aerosol generating device can also have more adjustment gears by adjusting the number or distribution position of the ventilation holes 121, so as to meet different usage requirements and make the corresponding aerosol generating device 100 have a more flexible adjustment range.

[0063] In order to enable the air regulating plate 21 to better control the ventilation area, in some embodiments, a sealing member 22 is provided on the side of the air regulating plate 21 facing the air inlet 12. When the air regulating plate 21 moves along the adjustment groove 11, at least a part of the air inlet 12 overlapping with the air regulating plate 21 can be sealed by the sealing member 22.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 3 , the above sealing member 22 is located between the housing 1 and the air regulating plate 21 and can abut against at least a part of the surface of the housing 1.

[0065] In order to facilitate the sealing of the ventilation holes 121 by the sealing member 22, the free end of the air regulating plate 21 coincides with one end of the sealing member 22. When the air regulating plate 21 moves to block a number of ventilation holes 121, at this time the sealing member 22 is located between the ventilation holes 121 and the air regulating plate 21.

[0066] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the above sealing member 22 is fixedly connected to the air regulating plate 21.

[0067] Specifically, a part of the surface of the air regulating plate 21 facing the air inlet 12 is recessed inward to form a positioning groove 211. The positioning groove 211 extends to the end of the free end of the air regulating plate 21, and a number of positioning posts 212 are distributed in the positioning groove 211. One side of the sealing member 22 is provided with positioning holes 221 having the same number as and corresponding to the positioning posts 212. When the positioning posts 212 are inserted into the positioning holes 221 and are in mating connection with the positioning holes 221, the sealing member 22 is fixedly connected to the air regulating plate 21.

[0068] Specifically, the number of the above positioning posts 212 is multiple and is arranged in an array on the positioning groove 211, and the positioning holes 221 are blind holes formed on one side of the sealing member 22.

[0069] In order to further enhance the sealing effect of the sealing member 22 on the ventilation holes 121, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 , the above sealing member 22 further includes an annular rib 222, and the annular rib 222 is located on the side of the sealing member 22 facing the housing 1.

[0070] The annular rib 222 is used to seal the ventilation hole 121 that overlaps with the air regulating plate 21. When the ventilation hole 121 overlaps with the air regulating plate 21, the projection of the ventilation hole 121 in the thickness direction of the housing 1 can exactly fall within the projection range of the outer contour of the annular rib 222.

[0071] The above annular rib 222 abuts against one side wall in the thickness direction of the housing 1 and produces a recoverable elastic deformation. When the annular rib 222 is in the abutting state, a sealed environment is formed between the space inside the annular rib 222 and the side wall of the housing 1, and the ventilation hole 121 located inside the annular rib 222 must also be in a sealed state.

[0072] Considering that the above adjustment switch 2 is used not only to regulate the ventilation volume but also to synchronously adjust the power, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the above adjustment switch 2 includes an air regulating switch 201 and a toggle switch 202 that are fixedly connected. The air regulating switch 201 passes through the housing 1 through the adjustment groove 11. The air regulating switch 201 includes an air regulating plate 21; the detecting member is used to detect the position of the toggle switch 202.

[0073] When the air regulating switch 201 moves, the air regulating plate 21 and the toggle switch 202 move synchronously. The air regulating plate 21 is used to regulate the intake air volume. The detecting member detects the position of the toggle switch 202, and adjusts the power through the control member 3, so as to realize the synchronous regulation of the intake air volume and the power.

[0074] Specifically, the above air regulating plate 21 and toggle switch 202 are respectively located on both sides of the housing 1 in the thickness direction. The air regulating plate 21 and the air regulating switch 201 are of an integral structure. The part of the air regulating switch 201 other than the air regulating plate 21 is used to pass through the housing 1 and connect to the toggle switch 202 located on the other side of the housing 1. The toggle switch 202 is fixedly connected to the air regulating switch 201 and moves synchronously. The detecting member is used to detect the position of the toggle switch 202. The control member 3 can adjust the power according to the detection result of the detecting member.

[0075] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the toggle switch 202 can be inserted into the side of the air regulating switch 201 that extends into the housing 1, so as to realize the fixed connection between the two. Of course, the connection part between the two can also be further strengthened by means of pasting, etc., to improve the connection firmness.

[0076] In some embodiments, the above toggle switch 202 is located between the housing 1 and the control member 3; in other embodiments, the above toggle switch 202 is located on the side of the control member 3 facing away from the housing 1.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 8, in some embodiments, the above-mentioned housing 1 is further provided with a limiting groove 13. The limiting groove 13 is located on the outer peripheral side of the adjusting groove 11 and is used to cooperate with the adjusting groove 11 to limit the movement path and action state of the air regulating switch 201 or the air regulating plate 21.

[0078] Specifically, the limiting groove 13 includes a first stop wall 131 and a second stop wall 132 arranged oppositely in the second direction Y. At least one of the first stop wall 131 and the second stop wall 132 includes a limiting groove 135. The number of the limiting grooves 135 is at least four and they are arranged at intervals along the first direction X. The air regulating switch 201 includes a limiting protrusion 23 that can cooperate with the limiting groove 135. When the air regulating switch 201 moves along the first direction X, the limiting protrusion 23 cooperates with different limiting grooves 135 arranged at intervals in turn. The above-mentioned second direction Y is orthogonal to both the thickness direction of the housing 1 and the first direction X at the same time.

[0079] The limiting groove 135 can be used to form adjustment gears. The process of the limiting protrusion 23 moving along the first direction X to cooperate with different limiting grooves 135 is the process of adjusting gears. Please refer to Figures 4A - 4D , the limiting protrusion 23 cooperates with different limiting grooves 135 respectively, and realizes multi-stage adjustment of the ventilation volume and power.

[0080] The adjustment process of the above gears is described below:

[0081] When the limiting protrusion 23 is located in a certain limiting groove 135, at this time the limiting protrusion 23 just cooperates with the limiting groove 135. When the limiting protrusion 23 moves away from the limiting groove 135 as the air regulating switch 201 moves, the limiting protrusion 23 and the limiting groove 135 are squeezed against each other. At this time, the limiting protrusion 23 is subjected to the resistance provided by the limiting groove 135. When a part of the structure of the limiting protrusion 23 enters the next limiting groove 135, the limiting protrusion 23 can move quickly under the drive of an external force to cooperate with the limiting groove 135. During the gear adjustment process, there is an obvious sense of paragraph when the limiting protrusion 23 moves between two adjacent limiting grooves 135.

[0082] Therefore, the matching structure of the above-mentioned limiting protrusion 23 and the limiting groove 135 can not only make the adjustment component 10 of the aerosol generating device have the effect of multi-stage adjustment, but also enable the user to clearly and obviously experience the gear change during adjustment, giving the user a good use experience.

[0083] Different limiting grooves 135 correspond to different air intake amounts and powers. The limiting protrusion 23 can make the air regulating plate 21 better cooperate with the air inlet 12 to realize the adjustment of the air intake amount and power.

[0084] It should be noted that the number and spacing of the above-mentioned limiting grooves 135 should match the size of the air inlet 12 to ensure that when the air-adjusting switch 201 moves relative to any two adjacent limiting grooves 135, the synchronous adjustment of the air intake and power can be achieved.

[0085] In one embodiment, the spacing between any two adjacent limiting grooves 135 is 1.5 mm.

[0086] In one embodiment, the adjustment distance between two adjacent limiting grooves 135 is the same as the spacing between the axes of two adjacent ventilation holes 121 in the first direction X.

[0087] In one embodiment, the above-mentioned limiting groove 13 further includes a limiting guide hole 136.
