Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of aerosol generating devices, and in particular to an aerosol generating device. Background Art

[0002] An aerosol-generating device (AGD) heats an aerosol-generating article to produce an aerosol for inhalation. An aerosol-generating device typically includes a heating component, a power supply component, and an operating element. The power supply component powers the heating component on and off by driving or pressing the operating element.

[0003] However, the current existing structure usually has a direct abutment connection between the micro switch and the operating member. Since the pressing stroke of the micro switch is short and there is no other buffering medium between the two, it is easy to cause the pressing feel of the operating member to be relatively stiff, and it is also easy to cause the micro switch to be accidentally touched.

[0029] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used in this specification are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the relevant listed items.

[0030] In addition, the technical features involved in different embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0031] See also Figures 1 to 5The aerosol generating device 100 of the embodiment of the present application includes a power supply assembly 10, a trigger member 20, and an operating member 30. The power supply assembly 10 includes a power supply 11 and a switch 12. The power supply 11 is configured to respond when the switch 12 is triggered. For example, when the switch 12 is triggered, the power supply 11 provides power to the outside. When the switch 12 is triggered again, the power supply 11 is powered off and stops providing power to the outside. The trigger member 20 includes a base 21, an elastic portion 22, and a trigger portion 23. The base 21 is provided with a first through hole 211 extending along a first direction X, where the first direction X is the thickness direction of the base 21. The elastic portion 22 and the trigger portion 23 are located within the first through-hole 211. A first end of the elastic portion 22 is connected to the base 21, and a second end of the elastic portion 22 is connected to the trigger portion 23. The elastic portion 22 provides a spring force that spaces the trigger portion 23 from the switch 12. The operating member 30 is connected to the trigger member 20 and shields the trigger portion 23 in the first direction X, preventing the trigger portion 23 from being directly exposed to the outside world and affecting the aesthetics of the aerosol generating device 100. The operating member 30 includes an operating portion 31, which is configured for user operation to drive the trigger portion 23 to contact the switch 12, thereby triggering the switch 12 and causing the power supply 11 to respond. The aerosol generating device 100 of the present embodiment adds a trigger portion 23 connected to the elastic portion 22 between the switch 12 and the operating member 30, and the trigger portion 23 is spaced apart from the switch 12 in the first direction X. This increases the travel of the trigger portion 23 in triggering the switch 12 and increases the driving damping of the trigger portion 23, thereby improving the user's operating feel, avoiding providing the user with abrupt operating feedback, and effectively preventing the switch from being accidentally triggered. For example, it can prevent the operating member 31 from being accidentally lightly touched and driving the trigger portion 23 to trigger the switch 12. It also helps to automatically reset the trigger portion 23 and the operating member 31.

[0032] In some embodiments, the base portion 21, the elastic portion 22, and the trigger portion 23 of the trigger member 20 are integrally formed. For example, the trigger member 20 is an integrally formed plastic or metal member. The integrally formed structure of the trigger member 20 not only improves the connection strength between the elastic portion 22, the trigger portion 23, and the base portion 21, thereby enhancing the elastic properties of the elastic portion 22, but also reduces the number of components, thereby reducing the number of assembly steps and improving assembly efficiency.

[0033] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 5The base 21 is provided with a first stop 212, and the operating member 30 includes a second stop 32. Along the first direction X, the second stop 32 and the operating member 31 are located on opposite sides of the first through-hole 211. The operating member 31 is configured to move relative to the base 21 along the first direction X between a first position B1 and a second position B2. When the operating member 31 is in the first position B1, the first stop 212 abuts the second stop 32 to prevent the operating member 30 from separating from the base 21. When the operating member 31 is in the second position B2, the triggering portion 23 contacts the switch 12. In some examples, the first stop 212 is disposed around the first through-hole 211. Along the radial direction of the first through-hole 211, the edge of the second stop 32 extends beyond the edge of the first through-hole 211, thereby enabling the second stop 32 to abut against the first stop 212 to limit its position. By providing the first stop portion 212 and the second stop portion 32 for cooperative connection, on the one hand, the operating member 30 can be prevented from being separated from the trigger member 20 in the first direction X, thereby ensuring the connection stability of the structure; on the other hand, when the operating member 31 is located in the first position B1, the second stop portion 32 can abut against the first stop portion 212 under the elastic force of the elastic portion 22 of the trigger member 20, thereby preventing the operating member 31 from shaking in the first direction X.

[0034] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 5 The base 21 is provided with a third stopper 213, which is located between the first stopper 212 and the operating portion 31. The third stopper 213 is disposed opposite at least a portion of the operating portion 31 in the first direction X. In some examples, when the operating portion 31 is driven to move from the first position B1 to the second position B2, a portion of the operating portion 31 abuts against the third stopper 213, preventing the operating portion 31 from driving the trigger portion 23 to continue moving toward the switch 12, thereby preventing the trigger portion 23 from damaging the switch 12. In some embodiments, the switch 12 may be a push switch, a micro switch, a touch switch, or a proximity switch.

[0035] In some embodiments, the third stop portion 213 can be provided on the side of the first stop portion 212 facing the operating portion 31. The third stop portion 213 can be an independent component that is provided on the first stop portion 212 through secondary processing, or the third stop portion 213 and the first stop portion 212 can be integrally formed with the base portion 21. It is understood that providing the third stop portion 213 on the first stop portion 212 can increase the thickness of the first stop portion 212 in the first direction X to accommodate the distance between the operating portion 31 and the second stop portion 32. This allows the first stop portion 212 to abut against the second stop portion 32 when the operating member 30 is in the first position B1, and the third stop portion 213 to abut against the operating portion 31 when the operating member 30 is in the second position B2. Based on the above two situations, the operating portion 31 can maintain a longer travel, thereby improving the user's operating feel. In addition, a third stop portion 213 is provided on the first stop portion 212 , which can reduce the thickness of other parts of the trigger member 20 , such as the base 21 , while controlling the stroke of the operating portion 31 , thereby reducing the thickness of the trigger member 20 and improving the space utilization of the aerosol generating device 100 .

[0036] Furthermore, the third stopper 213 can be configured to be raised relative to the first stopper 212 in the first direction X. This helps the third stopper 213 form a barrier, making it more difficult for external dust, moisture, etc. to enter the first through-hole 211, thereby improving the protection of the switch 12 and the power supply 11. In a further embodiment, a drainage groove is provided on the base 21 surrounding the third stopper 213. The drainage groove is used to collect debris such as dust and moisture and discharge the debris out of the aerosol generating device 100.

[0037] It can be understood that in some embodiments, when one of the trigger member 20 and the operating member 30 is made of a flexible deformable material, for example, the trigger member 20 includes silicone, or the operating member 30 includes silicone, the operating portion 31 and the second stop portion 32 respectively abut against the two sides of the first stop portion 212. When the user drives the operating portion 31 to move, only the central area of ​​the operating portion 31 moves toward the direction close to the switch 12, and the edge of the operating portion 31, the first stop portion 212 and the second stop portion 32 do not move; or the operating portion 31, the first stop portion 212, the second stop portion 32 and the base 21 all deform and move.

[0038] In other embodiments, when the trigger member 20 and the operating member 30 are both hard structures, for example, the trigger member 20 and the operating member 30 are both hard plastic or metal parts, when the operating portion 31 is located in the first position B1, the base 21 and the operating portion 31 are spaced apart in the first direction X, so that the operating portion 31 can move relative to the base 21 in the first direction X, thereby driving the trigger portion 23 to move and abut the switch 12.

[0039] In some embodiments, see Figures 3 to 5 The operating member 30 further includes a connecting portion 33, at least partially located within the first through-hole 211. The connecting portion 33 connects the operating member 31 and the second stop portion 32, respectively, thereby spacing the operating member 31 and the second stop portion 32 apart. In the radial direction of the first through-hole 211, the connecting portion 33 abuts the first stop portion 212 and / or the third stop portion 213, thereby limiting radial movement of the connecting portion 33 and ensuring the stability of the operating member 30. An abutting portion 231 is provided on the side of the trigger portion 23 facing the operating member 31. The abutting portion 231 abuts against the operating member 31 to support the operating member 31. When the operating member 31 is in the first position B1, the elastic portion 22 acts to apply a force to the operating member 31, forcing the first stop portion 212 to abut the second stop portion 32, thereby ensuring the stability of the operating member 31 and preventing it from shaking relative to the base 21.

[0040] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 5 A first protrusion 232 is provided on one of the trigger portion 23 and the operating portion 31, and a docking cavity 313 is provided on the other. At least a portion of the first protrusion 232 is embedded in the docking cavity 313, thereby securing the trigger portion 23 and the operating portion 31 in a first direction X. The trigger portion 23 and the operating portion 31 can move synchronously, effectively preventing the operating portion 31 from shaking relative to the trigger portion 23 in a direction perpendicular to the user's actuation of the operating portion 31 (the radial direction of the docking cavity 313), thereby ensuring the connection stability between the trigger portion 23 and the operating portion 31 and improving the pressing feel of the operating portion 31. As an example, the first protrusion 232 is provided on the side of the trigger portion 23 facing the operating portion 31, and the docking cavity 313 is provided on the side of the operating portion 31 facing the trigger portion 23. The first protrusion 232 is plugged into the docking cavity 313 to secure the trigger portion 23 and the operating portion 31.

[0041] In some embodiments, see Figure 3The trigger portion 23 also includes a second protrusion 233. The second protrusion 233 extends from the side of the trigger portion 23 facing away from the operating portion 31, away from the operating portion 31. The second protrusion 233 corresponds to the position of the switch 12 and is used to contact the switch 12, thereby triggering the switch 12. In the first direction X, the end of the second protrusion 233 is spaced apart from the switch 12. Compared to the prior art solution in which the operating member 30 directly abuts the switch 12, the triggering stroke of the switch 12 is shorter, resulting in a shorter stroke of the operating member 30. The user's actuation of the operating member 30 feels stiff, affecting the user's experience. The spacing of the end of the second protrusion 233 from the switch 12 in the present application can increase the stroke of the second protrusion 233, thereby increasing the stroke of the operating portion 31. Under the elastic action of the elastic portion 22, the user's operating feel can be effectively improved.

[0042] It is understandable that the elastic portion 22 in the present application may include an elastic deformable material, such as rubber. The deformable elastic portion 22 is respectively connected to the base 21 and the elastic portion 22, and the shape of the elastic portion 22 can be a linear state or a non-linear state. When the driving operating portion 31 pushes the trigger portion 23 to move in the direction close to the switch 12, the elastic portion 22 is stretched and lengthened, thereby ensuring that the trigger portion 23 can move to trigger the switch 12; when the external force is removed, the elastic portion 22 pulls the trigger portion 23 to perform a reset movement. In this embodiment, the shape of the elastic portion 22 is preferably a linear state, and the number of the elastic portions 22 is at least two, and the linear elastic portion 22 directly connects the trigger portion 23 and the base 21 along the radial direction of the first through hole 211, wherein the trigger portion 23 and the elastic portion 22 are distributed in a central star-shaped manner.

[0043] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 The elastic portion 22 includes a first elastic portion 221 and a second elastic portion 222 arranged non-linearly. The first elastic portion 221 connects the base 21 and the trigger portion 23, respectively, and the second elastic portion 222 connects the base 21 and the trigger portion 23, respectively. In this embodiment, the elastic portion 22 comprises a hard material, such as hard plastic or metal. Because hard materials have a small deformation volume, to ensure that the trigger portion 23 has sufficient movement range in the first direction X, the first elastic portion 221 and the second elastic portion 222 are arranged in a non-linear shape. It can also be understood that at least parts of the first elastic portion 221 and the second elastic portion 222 are curved structures, which can enable the trigger portion 23 to move relative to the base 21 in the first direction X. The first elastic portion 221 and the second elastic portion 222 can be arranged in the same plane.

[0044] In some embodiments, see Figure 4The first elastic portion 221 includes a first section 2211, a second section 2212, and a third section 2213. The first section 2211 connects the base 21 and the second section 2212, respectively, and the third section 2213 connects the second section 2212 and the trigger portion 23, respectively. The first section 2211 and the third section 2213 extend approximately along the radial direction of the first through hole 211, and the first section 2211 and the third section 2213 extend in different directions. The second section 2212 connects the first section 2211 and the third section 2213 in a radial direction that cuts the first through hole 211. It is understandable that the second section 2212 can be a linear structure or an arc-shaped structure. As an example, the second section 2212 extends along the circumferential direction of the first through hole 211. Through the above structure, the first elastic portion 221 can have a large deformation in the first direction X while ensuring structural strength, thereby ensuring that the trigger portion 23 can have sufficient travel to trigger the switch 12, and the first elastic portion 221 can restore the deformation to provide sufficient elastic force to drive the trigger portion 23 to reset, and then drive the operating member 30 to reset.

[0045] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 , the angle R between the first segment 2211 and the third segment 2213 satisfies: 90°≤R≤150°. By setting the angle between the first segment 2211 and the third segment 2213 within the above range, the circumferential span between the first segment 2211 and the third segment 2213 can be increased, and the deformation between the first segment 2211, the second segment 2212, and the third segment 2213 of the first elastic portion 221 can be increased, thereby ensuring sufficient travel of the trigger portion 23 in the first direction X. As some examples, the angle R can be 90°, 95°, 100°, 105°, 110°, 115°, 120°, 125°, 130°, 135°, 140°, 145°, or 150°. It will be understood that the value of R can be an integer or a non-integer.

[0046] In some embodiments, see Figure 4The structure of the second elastic portion 222 is the same as or similar to that of the first elastic portion 221, that is, the second elastic portion 222 also includes a first section 2211, a second section 2212, and a third section 2213. The specific structure of the second elastic portion 222 can refer to the first elastic portion 221 and will not be described in detail here. Furthermore, the first elastic portion 221 and the second elastic portion 222 are symmetrically arranged about the center of the trigger portion 23. This can further improve the balance of the force exerted by the first elastic portion 221 and the second elastic portion 222 on the trigger portion 23, thereby preventing the trigger portion 23 from being subjected to uneven force and affecting the movement of the trigger portion 23. In other embodiments, the elastic portion 22 may further include a third elastic portion, a fourth elastic portion, etc. with the same or similar structure as the first elastic portion 221, that is, the number of elastic portions 22 can be multiple, and the multiple elastic portions 22 are arranged in a circular array about the center of the trigger portion 23.

[0047] The following further illustrates the relationship between the switch 12, the trigger 20, and the operating member 30, assuming both the trigger member 20 and the operating member 30 are rigid structures: In the initial state, i.e., when the operating portion 31 is in the first position B1, the docking cavity 313 on the operating portion 31 engages with the first protrusion 232 on the trigger portion 23, enabling synchronous movement of the operating portion 31 and the trigger portion 23. The second protrusion 233 on the trigger portion 23 corresponds to the switch 12, and in the first direction X, the second protrusion 233 is spaced apart from the switch 12. At this point, under the elastic force of the elastic portion 22, the first stop 212 and the second stop 32 abut and connect. When the user drives the operating portion 31 toward the switch 12, the operating portion 31 and the trigger portion 23 simultaneously move toward the switch 12. At this point, the first stop portion 212 and the second stop portion 32 separate, and the first elastic portion 221 and the second elastic portion 222 deform until the operating portion 31 abuts the third stop portion 213. At this point, the second protrusion 233 below the trigger portion 23 abuts the switch 12, triggering it. The power supply 11 responds and supplies power. When the user releases the applied force, the first elastic portion 221 and the second elastic portion 222 recover their deformation, applying elastic force to the trigger portion 23, causing the trigger portion 23 and the operating portion 31 to move away from the switch 12 until the first stop portion 212 and the second stop portion 32 abut. This completes a single press. It can be understood that the above-mentioned switch 12 can be configured as a trigger mode of starting and closing alternating cycles, such as "on-off" as a set of cycles; the switch 12 can also be configured as a trigger mode of multiple starting and closing mixed cycles, such as "1st gear-2nd gear-off" as a set of cycles.

[0048] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2The aerosol generating device 100 also includes a shell 40 and a nozzle assembly 50. The power supply assembly 10 is arranged inside the shell 40. The base 21 of the trigger member 20 is arranged adjacent to the end of the shell 40. The operating member 30 is arranged on the side of the trigger member 20 away from the switch 12. A second through hole 214 is also provided on the base 21. A portion of the nozzle assembly 50 is arranged inside the shell 40, and a portion extends out of the shell 40 after passing through the second through hole 214. The exposed portion allows the user to contact the nozzle assembly 50 to inhale the aerosol.

[0049] In other embodiments, the aerosol generating device 100 includes a housing 40, the power supply assembly 10 is arranged inside the housing 40, the base 21 of the trigger member 20 is arranged adjacent to the end of the housing 40, the operating member 30 is arranged on the side of the trigger member 20 away from the switch 12, and a second through hole 214 is also provided on the base 21. The interior of the housing 40 is also provided with a accommodating cavity for accommodating at least a portion of the aerosol generating product, and the accommodating cavity is connected to the second through hole 214 so that the aerosol generating product can be inserted into and exited from the accommodating cavity through the second through hole 214.

[0050] In other embodiments, see Figure 2 The aerosol generating device 100 further includes a heating component 60 disposed inside the housing 40 , the heating component 60 is electrically connected to the power component 10 , and the power supply 11 responds to the switch 12 being triggered by providing power to the heating component 60 or cutting off power to the heating component 60 .
