[0028] Please refer to Figure 1-2, the present utility model proposes an aerosol generating device, which includes a main body 1, a light guide plate 2 and a panel 3. The main body 1 is provided with at least one light source 141. The light guide plate 2 is installed on the main body 1 and at least partially opposite to the light source 141. The panel 3 covers the light guide plate 2, and a pattern layer (not shown in the figure) is provided on the side of the panel 3 facing away from the light guide plate 2. When the light source 141 emits light, the light travels through the light guide plate 2 and passes through the panel 3 to illuminate the pattern layer for the user to view. By propagating the light to the panel 3 through the light guide plate 2, the pattern on the panel 3 is lit up. Such a lighting effect is not only beautiful but also convenient for the user to view.

[0029] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 shown, the main body 1 includes a base 11, a housing 12, a main control board 13 and an adapter board 14. The main control board 13 is tightly attached to the base 11. In practical applications, the main control board 13 can be fixed to the base 11 by setting connection holes in the base 11 and using connecting parts. It can also be limited by setting an installation groove with an interference fit with the main control board 13 or setting a buckle. One end of the housing 12, which is connected to the base 11 and has the main control board 13, is fixedly connected, and the axial direction of the housing 12 is perpendicular to the plane where the main control board 13 is located. The base 11 is provided with a limiting post adapted to the housing 12, and the housing 12 is provided with a limiting hole. The housing 12 is pre-installed on the base 11 through the cooperation between the limiting post and the limiting hole. Subsequently, an outer shell is covered outside the housing 12, and the housing 12 is fastened to the base 11 through the snap connection between the outer shell and the base 11.

[0030] Furthermore, the adapter board 14 is vertically inserted into the main control board 13 and electrically connected to the main control board 13. The plane where the adapter board 14 is located is parallel to the axial direction of the housing 12. At least one light source 141 is provided on the adapter board 14 and arranged along the axial direction of the housing 12. In other embodiments, the adapter board 14 can also be fixed to the housing 12 or the base 11 in other ways, and it can be electrically connected to the main control board 13 through a wire. The arrangement of the light sources 141 can also be adjusted according to actual needs. The light source 141 can use LED color lamp beads or LED wafers. Preferably, the light source 141 uses LED wafers, so that the volume of the light source 141 is smaller, the arrangement and quantity can be more flexible, and the emitted light can be more uniform.

[0031] In some embodiments, as Figure 2As shown, the light guide plate 2 is firmly attached to the outer periphery of the housing 12, and the side surface of the light guide plate 2 faces the light source 141. Thus, the light emitted by the light source 141 can enter the light guide plate 2 from the side surface of the light guide plate 2 and diffuse and propagate within the light guide plate 2. In practical applications, the light guide plate 2 is made of a PC material with light guiding properties. The plate surface of the light guide plate 2 attached to the housing 12 is provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 22, and the housing 12 is correspondingly provided with a plurality of matching positioning posts 121. By inserting the positioning posts 121 into the corresponding positioning grooves 22 respectively, the light guide plate 2 is fastened to the housing 12. In practical applications, there may be one, two or more light guide plates 2. Since the areas of the two opposite surfaces of the housing 12 in this embodiment are relatively large, two matching light guide plates 2 are correspondingly provided. The two light guide plates 2 are respectively firmly attached to the two opposite surfaces of the housing 12. In this way, a large area of the outer periphery of the main body 1 is covered by the light guide plates 2, which can increase the light guiding area and enhance the light emitting indication effect.

[0032] In some embodiments, at least one diffusing surface 21 is provided on the side surface of the light guide plate 2 opposite to the light source 141, and the diffusing surfaces 21 correspond to the light sources 141 one by one. That is, one diffusing surface 21 corresponds to one light source 141. In this way, the light emitted by each light source 141 can enter the light guide plate 2 through the corresponding diffusing surface 21 respectively, which can significantly improve the light guiding efficiency, reduce the loss, and thus improve the brightness. Further, the diffusing surface 21 is arched, and the light source 141 and the center of the arch are located on the same side. In this way, the incident angle of the light can be increased, which is beneficial to the diffusion of the light.

[0033] In some embodiments, at least one light source 141 opposite to the light guide plate 2 is provided on the main control board 13 along the direction perpendicular to the adapter board 14. Thus, the light emitted by the light source 141 on the main control board 13 can enter the light guide plate 2 from the other side surface of the light guide plate 2, thereby strengthening the brightness of the light and improving the display effect. On the other hand, since the directions of the light emitted from the main control board 13 and the light emitted from the adapter board 14 are different, the interference between them can be utilized to present a more abundant light emitting scheme. Correspondingly, the panel 3 has a U-shaped structure. The panel 3 includes a connecting plate 31 and two side plates 32 respectively connected to the two ends of the connecting plate 31. The two side plates 32 respectively cover the two light guide plates 2, and the connecting plate 31 is attached to the outer periphery of the housing 12. By providing positioning holes 311 on the connecting plate 31 and providing matching positioning blocks 122 on the outer periphery of the housing 12 that is attached to the connecting plate 31. At the same time, a card slot adapted to the panel 3 is provided on the outer periphery of the base 11. Through the cooperation between the positioning blocks 122 and the positioning holes 311, and the limitation of the panel 3 by the card slot, the surrounding plate is fastened to the main body 1.

[0034] In some embodiments, the pattern layer and the panel 3 are of an integral structure, which can save costs and reduce the installation process. Preferably, the pattern layer and the panel 3 are integrally formed by 3D printing technology. Among them, the pattern layer includes a preset 3D pattern. The panel 3 is made of a transparent material. At least part of the pattern layer is light-transmissive. Due to the different patterns presented by the 3D patterns in the pattern layer, the thickness and color of the printing ink are different, which also makes the light-transmitting degree of each part of the panel 3 different with the distribution of the patterns, thus presenting a rich and colorful lighting display effect. In practical applications, the panel 3 is in the shape of a U-shaped plate.

[0035] In some embodiments, the aerosol generating device further includes a housing 4 covering the main body 1. The housing 4 is made of a transparent or translucent material. The housing 4 can be made of a colorless or colored material. When the housing 4 covers the main body 1, while the light transmitted through the panel 3 illuminates the pattern layer on the panel 3, it also passes through the housing 4 for the user to view the lighting effect. In this embodiment, the housing 4 can not only limit the position of the housing 12, but also play a protective role.

[0036] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention accordingly. Any equivalent structural transformation made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present invention under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields shall be included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
