[0034] An aerosol generating device is a small device that can use the heat not burn (Heat Not Burning, HNB) technology to act on an aerosol generating substrate and generate an aerosol. Specifically, the aerosol generating device usually heats the aerosol generating substrate to a temperature that can generate aerosol but is not high enough to burn, so that the aerosol generating substrate can generate an aerosol for the user to inhale without burning. The aerosol generating device is usually also provided with a matching charging device, which is used to charge the aerosol generating device. The charging device is usually provided with an open receiving groove for the aerosol generating device to be accommodated therein. However, the current charging device has a poor limiting effect on the aerosol generating device, the aerosol generating device is easy to fall off relative to the charging device, and the aerosol generating device is easy to be damaged. In order to solve this problem, the embodiment of the present application provides a charging device 10 and an aerosol generating system 100 ( Figure 1 shown).

[0035] See also Figure 1 The aerosol generating system 100 of the embodiment of the present application includes an aerosol generating device 30 and a charging device 10 , and the charging device 10 is used to charge the aerosol generating device 30 .

[0036] The aerosol generating device 30 is a structure capable of generating an aerosol by heating an aerosol generating substrate. The aerosol may be visible or invisible and may include vapor (e.g., fine particulate matter in a gaseous state, which is typically liquid or solid at room temperature) as well as liquid droplets of gas and condensed vapor. The aerosol generating substrate is a product that has been processed and heated to generate an aerosol. The aerosol generating substrate may be in a liquid state, a fully solid state, or a semi-solid state. When the aerosol generating substrate is in a liquid state, the liquid aerosol generating substrate is a mixed liquid containing substances such as nicotine and nicotine dissolved therein, and its solutes may be common organic and / or inorganic solutes such as propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, and pure water. When the aerosol generating substrate is in a fully solid state, the aerosol generating substrate may be prepared using processes such as rolling, slurrying, die casting, and extrusion. The aerosol generating substrate may be a cylindrical structure similar to a cigarette, or may be a sheet structure, a strip structure, or a block structure.

[0037] The aerosol-generating device 30 typically includes an atomizer and a second battery 35 , with the atomizer electrically connected to the second battery 35 . The second battery 35 is used to power the atomizer. The atomizer is used to load an aerosol-generating substrate and, when powered, heats the aerosol-generating substrate. When powered by the second battery 35 , the atomizer heats the aerosol-generating substrate to generate an aerosol for inhalation by the user. The atomizer can heat the aerosol-generating substrate using, but is not limited to, resistive heating, electromagnetic heating, infrared heating, microwave heating, or laser irradiation heating.

[0038] The charging device 10 is used to charge the aerosol generating device 30. For example, when the power of the aerosol generating device 30 is partially or completely consumed, that is, when the power level of the aerosol generating device 30 is less than 100%, the aerosol generating device 30 can be electrically connected to the charging device 10, and the charging device 10 can charge the aerosol generating device 30. The charging device 10 may include a first battery 17. When the aerosol generating device 30 is electrically connected to the charging device 10, the first battery 17 is used to charge the second battery 35 of the aerosol generating device 30.

[0039] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3The charging device 10 of the embodiment of the present application includes a shell 11, a first magnetic member 13 and a limit member 15. The side wall of the shell 11 is recessed toward the interior of the shell 11 to form a receiving groove 111, and the receiving groove 111 is used to receive the aerosol generating device 30. The first magnetic member 13 is provided on the shell 11, and the first magnetic member 13 cooperates with the second magnetic member 33 of the aerosol generating device 30 to adsorb the aerosol generating device 30 in the receiving groove 111. The limit member 15 is provided on the shell 11, and the limit member 15 is connected to the aerosol generating device 30. The limit member 15 is used to limit the movement of the aerosol generating device 30 in the direction away from the shell 11.

[0040] In some embodiments, the aerosol generating device 30 is provided with a second magnetic member 33 , and the aerosol generating device 30 is detachably accommodated in the accommodating tank 111 .

[0041] Specifically, the shell 11 is used to install components such as the first magnetic member 13 and the first battery 17 of the charging device 10. The receiving groove 111 is a structure for placing the aerosol generating device 30 therein. When the aerosol generating device 30 needs to be charged, the aerosol generating device 30 is received in the receiving groove 111 and electrically connected to the charging device 10, so that the charging device 10 can charge the aerosol generating device 30. When the aerosol generating device 30 is received in the receiving groove 111 for charging, the overall volume of the charging device 10 plus the aerosol generating device 30 is small, which is convenient for users to carry. The receiving groove 111 is a structure with one end open, so as to facilitate the taking and placing of the aerosol generating device 30 in the receiving groove 111. The aerosol generating device 30 of the present application is roughly a cylindrical structure, and the accommodating groove 111 is an arc-shaped groove 1115. When the aerosol generating device 30 is accommodated in the accommodating groove 111, the aerosol generating device 30 can fit with the inner side surface of the accommodating groove 111, and the aerosol generating device 30 can be firmly installed in the accommodating groove 111.

[0042] The receiving groove 111 includes a bottom wall 1111 and two side walls 1113 connected to the bottom wall 1111. In the width direction Y of the housing 11, the two side walls 1113 of the receiving groove 111 are spaced apart and opposed to each other. In the height direction Z of the housing 11, the tops of the side walls 1113 of the receiving groove 111 can be lower than the center of the aerosol generating device 30. In other words, the tops of the side walls 1113 of the receiving groove 111 can be lower than the widest part of the outer contour of the aerosol generating device 30. This facilitates the user's access to the aerosol generating device 30. For example, when a user needs to remove the aerosol generating device 30 from the receiving groove 111, the user can grasp the widest part of the outer contour of the aerosol generating device 30, thereby facilitating the application of external force to the aerosol generating device 30 to remove it from the housing 11.

[0043] See also Figure 2and Figure 3 The housing 11 may include an installation cavity 1117 that is not in communication with the receiving tank 111. The first battery 17 and the first magnetic member 13 of the charging device 10 may be located within the installation cavity 1117, and the second magnetic member 33 may be located within the aerosol generating device 30. Preferably, the first magnetic member 13 is located within the installation cavity 1117 and connected to the bottom wall 1111 of the receiving tank 111. The second magnetic member 33 is located within the aerosol generating device 30 and connected to a side wall 1113 of the aerosol generating device 30 that faces the bottom wall 1111 of the receiving tank 111. When the aerosol generating device 30 is housed within the accommodating chamber, the distance between the first magnetic member 13 and the second magnetic member 33 is small, and the attraction between the first magnetic member 13 and the second magnetic member 33 is strong. The aerosol generating device 30 can be securely attached to the accommodating chamber 111, and the aerosol generating device 30 is unlikely to fall out of the accommodating chamber 111. This prevents the aerosol generating device 30 from moving relative to the housing 11 or falling from the housing 11, which could cause the electrical connection between the charging device 10 and the aerosol generating device 30 to be disconnected, or even cause the aerosol generating device 30 to fall and be damaged. The mutual attraction between the first magnetic member 13 and the second magnetic member 33 ensures a secure connection between the housing 11 and the aerosol generating device 30 without increasing the overall size of the aerosol generating system 100. The aerosol generating system 100 is compact and easy to carry.

[0044] The number of first magnetic components 13 can be one, two, three or more, and the number of second magnetic components 33 can be one, two, three or more. Preferably, the number of first magnetic components 13 is the same as the number of second magnetic components 33, and the first magnetic components 13 and the second magnetic components 33 correspond one to one. In the case where there is one first magnetic component 13 and one second magnetic component 33, the structures of the charging device 10 and the aerosol generating device 30 are relatively simple, and the installation of the first magnetic component 13 and the second magnetic component 33 is relatively simple. In the case where there are multiple first magnetic components 13 and multiple second magnetic components 33, the aerosol generating device 30 can be more firmly installed in the accommodating cavity, and the aerosol generating device 30 is not easy to move relative to the shell 11 or fall off relative to the shell 11, which can avoid damage to the aerosol generating device 30.

[0045] In one embodiment, the first magnetic member 13 is a structure that can magnetically attract other elements through its own magnetic field. For example, the first magnetic member 13 can be a magnet. The second magnetic member 33 is an element that can be magnetized in a magnetic field. For example, the second magnetic member 33 can be a ferromagnetic material such as iron, nickel, and cobalt. When the aerosol generating device 30 is accommodated in the accommodating chamber, the second magnetic member 33 enters the magnetic field range of the first magnetic member 13, and the second magnetic member 33 is magnetized, so that the first magnetic member 13 and the second magnetic member 33 can be attracted to each other, so that the aerosol generating device 30 is firmly located in the accommodating chamber, and the aerosol generating device 30 can be prevented from moving relative to the shell 11 or falling off relative to the shell 11. At this time, there are many types of materials to choose from for the second magnetic member 33.

[0046] In another embodiment, the first magnetic member 13 is an element that can be magnetized in a magnetic field. For example, the first magnetic member 13 can be a ferromagnetic material such as iron, nickel, and cobalt. The second magnetic member 33 is a structure that can magnetically attract other elements through its own magnetic field. For example, the second magnetic member 33 can be a magnet. When the aerosol generating device 30 is accommodated in the accommodating chamber, the first magnetic member 13 enters the magnetic field range of the second magnetic member 33, and the first magnetic member 13 is magnetized, so that the first magnetic member 13 and the second magnetic member 33 can be attracted to each other, so that the aerosol generating device 30 is firmly located in the accommodating chamber, and the aerosol generating device 30 can be prevented from moving relative to the shell 11 or falling off relative to the shell 11. At this time, there are many types of materials to choose from for the first magnetic member 13.

[0047] In another embodiment, the first magnetic member 13 is a structure that can magnetically attract other elements through its own magnetic field. For example, the first magnetic member 13 can be a magnet. The second magnetic member 33 is a structure that can magnetically attract other elements through its own magnetic field. For example, the second magnetic member 33 can be a magnet. When the aerosol generating device 30 is accommodated in the accommodating chamber, the first magnetic member 13 enters the magnetic field range of the second magnetic member 33, and the second magnetic member 33 also enters the magnetic field range of the first magnetic member 13, so that the first magnetic member 13 and the second magnetic member 33 can be attracted to each other, so that the aerosol generating device 30 is firmly located in the accommodating chamber, and the aerosol generating device 30 can be prevented from moving relative to the shell 11 or falling off relative to the shell 11. At this time, the adsorption force between the first magnetic member 13 and the second magnetic member 33 is relatively large, which can further fix the connection between the aerosol generating device 30 and the shell 11, and the aerosol generating device 30 is difficult to move relative to the shell 11 or fall off relative to the shell 11.

[0048] The first magnetic member 13 and the second magnetic member 33 of the present application are both magnets. For example, if there is one first magnetic member 13 and one second magnetic member 33, when the end of the first magnetic member 13 near the aerosol generating device 30 is the south pole, the end of the second magnetic member 33 near the first magnetic member 13 is the north pole. When the end of the first magnetic member 13 near the aerosol generating device 30 is the north pole, the end of the second magnetic member 33 near the first magnetic member 13 is the south pole.

[0049] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 The aerosol generating device 30 is typically small in size to facilitate portability. Therefore, the capacity of the second battery 35 within the aerosol generating device 30 is relatively small, and the aerosol generating device 30 frequently enters the charging device 10 for charging. If one end of the receiving groove 111 is open, the aerosol generating device 30 can be easily inserted into and removed from the receiving groove 111. However, if the aerosol generating system 100 is dropped or swung, the aerosol generating device 30 can easily fall out of the receiving groove 111, causing damage to the aerosol generating device 30.

[0050] The charging device 10 of the present application is provided with a limiter 15. When the aerosol generating device 30 is installed in the accommodating groove 111, the limiter 15 is connected to the aerosol generating device 30. The limiter 15 is used to limit the position of the aerosol generating device 30 relative to the shell 11, so as to further firmly connect the aerosol generating device 30 to the shell 11, prevent the aerosol generating device 30 from moving relative to the shell 11 or even falling off relative to the shell 11, and prevent the aerosol generating device 30 from being damaged.

[0051] In the charging device 10 of the embodiment of the present application, the first magnetic member 13 and the second magnetic member 33 cooperate with each other to attract the aerosol generating device 30 to the receiving groove 111. When the aerosol generating device 30 is installed in the receiving groove 111, the limiting member 15 is connected to the aerosol generating device 30 to further limit the position of the aerosol generating device 30 relative to the housing 11, so that the aerosol generating device 30 can be firmly installed in the receiving groove 111, and the aerosol generating device 30 is not easy to move relative to the housing 11 or fall off relative to the housing 11. Compared with the current charging device 10, the charging device 10 of the present application has a better limiting effect on the aerosol generating device 30, and the aerosol generating device 30 is not easy to fall off relative to the charging device 10, and the aerosol generating device 30 is not easy to be damaged.

[0052] The charging device 10 will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0053] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments, the limiting member 15 is disposed on the top of the side wall 1113 of the accommodating groove 111 , and the free end of the limiting member 15 extends toward the center of the accommodating groove 111 .

[0054] The limiting member 15 and the housing 11 can be an integral structure or a separate structure. When the limiting member 15 and the housing 11 are an integral structure, the limiting member 15 extends from the top of the side wall 1113 of the accommodating groove 111. The limiting member 15 and the housing 11 can be integrally formed, and the processing steps of the charging device 10 are relatively simple. When the limiting member 15 and the housing 11 are separate structures, the limiting member 15 can be detachably or non-detachably mounted on the housing 11. Removable mounting methods include, but are not limited to, threaded connections, screw connections, or snap-on connections. Non-detachable mounting methods include, but are not limited to, welding, gluing, or interference fit.

[0055] The present application includes two stoppers 15, which are respectively disposed at the top of the two side walls 1113 of the receiving groove 111. The distance between the two side walls 1113 of the receiving groove 111 is substantially the same as the diameter of the aerosol generating device 30, so that the aerosol generating device 30 can be smoothly placed in the receiving groove 111. When the free ends of the limiting members 15 extend toward the center of the accommodating groove 111, the distance between the free ends of the two limiting members 15 will be smaller than the distance between the two side walls 1113 of the accommodating groove 111, that is, the distance between the free ends of the two limiting members 15 is smaller than the diameter of the aerosol generating device 30. When the aerosol generating device 30 is installed in the accommodating groove 111, the free ends of the two limiting members 15 are in contact with the side walls 1113 of the aerosol generating device 30. The free ends of the two limiting members 15 can prevent the aerosol generating device 30 from moving away from the accommodating groove 111, so that the limiting members 15 can effectively limit the position of the aerosol generating device 30, prevent the aerosol generating device 30 from falling off relative to the shell 11, and the aerosol generating device 30 is not easily damaged.

[0056] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 Preferably, in certain embodiments, the free end of the retaining member 15 curves and extends toward the center of the receiving groove 111, and the radius of curvature of the free end is the same as the radius of curvature of the aerosol generating device 30. In this case, the free ends of both retaining members 15 can surround the aerosol generating device 30, and the free ends of both retaining members 15 cover at least a portion of the sidewall 1113 of the aerosol generating device 30. The retaining members 15 effectively retain the aerosol generating device 30, further preventing the aerosol generating device 30 from moving relative to the housing 11 away from the receiving groove 111, and making it less likely for the aerosol generating device 30 to fall off the housing 11.

[0057] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, in the height direction Z of the housing 11, the highest point of the free end is higher than the center of the aerosol generating device 30, that is, the highest point of the free end is higher than the widest point of the outer contour of the aerosol generating device 30. When the highest points of the free ends of both retaining members 15 are higher than the widest point of the outer contour of the aerosol generating device 30, the retaining members 15 can effectively restrain the aerosol generating device 30 within the accommodating groove 111, preventing the aerosol generating device 30 from moving away from the accommodating groove 111.

[0058] See also Figures 4 to 7 In other embodiments, the limiting member 15 is disposed on the inner side of the accommodating groove 111 and is located in the accommodating groove 111 ; the aerosol generating device 30 is provided with a limiting member 311 , and the limiting member 311 cooperates with the limiting member 15 .

[0059] When the aerosol generating device 30 is installed in the accommodating groove 111, the limiting member 311 cooperates with the limiting member 15 to limit the position of the aerosol generating device 30, so that the aerosol generating device 30 is firmly located in the accommodating groove 111. This can prevent the aerosol generating device 30 from moving relative to the shell 11, resulting in the electrical connection between the aerosol generating device 30 and the charging device 10 being disconnected. It can also prevent the aerosol generating device 30 from falling off relative to the shell 11, and the aerosol generating device 30 is not easily damaged.

[0060] See also Figures 4 to 7 In some embodiments, the limiting member 15 is a protrusion protruding from the inner side surface of the receiving groove 111, and the limiting member 311 is a groove 1115 recessed from the side wall 1113 of the aerosol generating device 30. In this case, the limiting member 15 and the shell 11 can be an integral structure or a separate structure. When the limiting member 15 and the shell 11 are an integral structure, the limiting member 15 extends from the inner side surface of the receiving groove 111, and the limiting member 15 and the shell 11 can be integrally formed, and the processing steps of the charging device 10 are relatively simple. When the limiting member 15 and the shell 11 are separate structures, the limiting member 15 can be detachably or non-detachably mounted on the inner side surface of the receiving groove 111. Among them, the detachable mounting method includes but is not limited to threaded connection, screw connection or snap connection. The non-detachable mounting method includes but is not limited to welding, gluing connection or interference fit. The limiting member 15 of the present application is an integral structure with the shell 11.

[0061] In other embodiments, the limiting member 15 is a recessed groove 1115 recessed from the inner side of the receiving groove 111, and the limiting member 311 is a protrusion protruding from the sidewall 1113 of the aerosol generating device 30. In this case, the limiting member 311 and the aerosol generating device 30 can be an integral structure or a separate structure. When the limiting member 311 and the aerosol generating device 30 are an integral structure, the limiting member 311 extends from the sidewall 1113 of the aerosol generating device 30. The limiting member 311 and the aerosol generating device 30 can be integrally formed, which simplifies the processing steps of the charging device 10. When the limiting member 311 and the aerosol generating device 30 are separate structures, the limiting member 311 can be detachably or non-detachably mounted to the sidewall 1113 of the aerosol generating device 30. Removable mounting methods include, but are not limited to, threaded connections, screw connections, or snap connections. Non-detachable mounting methods include, but are not limited to, welding, gluing, or interference fit. The limiting member 311 of the present application is an integrated structure with the aerosol generating device 30 .

[0062] When the aerosol generating device 30 is installed in the accommodating groove 111, the limiting member 15 cooperates with the limiting member 311, that is, the protrusion cooperates with the groove 1115. On the one hand, it can limit the movement of the aerosol generating device 30 along the longitudinal direction X of the shell 11, and on the other hand, it can also limit the rotation of the aerosol generating device 30 relative to the shell 11 along the circumferential direction of the aerosol generating device 30, so that the aerosol generating device 30 can be firmly located in the accommodating groove 111, which can effectively prevent the aerosol generating device 30 from moving relative to the shell 11 or falling off relative to the shell 11.

[0063] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the limiting members 15 include at least two, and the at least two limiting members 15 are respectively arranged on the two side walls 1113, and the limiting members 311 include at least two, and the at least two limiting members 311 are arranged on the side walls 1113 of the aerosol generating device 30, and respectively cooperate with the at least two limiting members 15.

[0064] The number of the limiting members 15 may be two, four, six or more. The number of the limiting members 311 may be two, four, six or more. In this embodiment, the number of the limiting members 15 is two, and the number of the limiting members 311 is also two, and the limiting members 15 are protrusions, and the limiting members 311 are grooves 1115. In the case where there are two limiting members 15, the two limiting members 15 are respectively arranged on the two side walls 1113 of the accommodating groove 111. Preferably, in the height direction Z of the shell 11, the heights of the two limiting members 15 may be the same. When the limiting member 15 cooperates with the limiting member 311, the direction of the force generated by the cooperation between the limiting member 15 and the limiting member 311 is perpendicular to the direction in which the aerosol generating device 30 is placed in the accommodating groove 111. The limiting member 15 and the limiting member 311 can effectively limit the aerosol generating device 30 in the accommodating groove 111, and the aerosol generating device 30 is not easy to move relative to the shell 11 or fall off relative to the shell 11.

[0065] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 Specifically, in some embodiments, a groove 1115 is provided at the bottom of the accommodating groove 111, the limiting member 15 is an elastic protrusion protruding from the side wall 1113 and is located in the groove 1115, and the limiting member 311 is the groove 1115 on the side wall 1113 of the aerosol generating device 30, and the groove 1115 cooperates with the elastic protrusion.

[0066] The limiting member 15 of the present application is a hemispherical protrusion, and the limiting member 311 is a hemispherical groove 1115. When the aerosol generating device 30 is placed into the receiving groove 111, the surface of the hemispherical protrusion cooperates with the sidewall 1113 of the aerosol generating device 30, guiding the aerosol generating device 30 into the receiving groove 111. Furthermore, due to its elastic properties, the elastic protrusion is compressed when it is squeezed by the external force from the sidewall 1113 of the aerosol generating device 30 during the placement of the aerosol generating device 30 into the receiving groove 111. When the elastic protrusion aligns with the groove 1115, the elastic protrusion can return to its original shape to cooperate with the groove 1115, thereby limiting the position of the aerosol generating device 30 within the receiving groove 111. When both elastic protrusions cooperate with the groove 1115 , the movement of the aerosol generating device 30 in the longitudinal direction X of the shell 11 and the rotation of the aerosol generating device 30 relative to the shell 11 in the circumferential direction of the aerosol generating device 30 can be restricted.

[0067] The groove 1115 at the bottom of the receiving tank 111 is in communication with the receiving tank 111. When the retaining member 15 is located within the groove 1115, the spacing between the retaining members 15 on the two side walls 1113 is relatively wide, making it easier for the aerosol generating device 30 to be installed within the receiving tank 111. If the groove 1115 is not provided at the bottom of the receiving tank 111, and the retaining member 15 is directly mounted on the side walls 1113 of the receiving tank 111, the spacing between the retaining members 15 on the two side walls 1113 is relatively narrow, making it difficult for the aerosol generating device 30 to be installed within the receiving tank 111.

[0068] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7 In another embodiment, the limiting member 15 includes at least one, at least one limiting member 15 is arranged on the bottom wall 1111, and the limiting member 311 includes at least one, at least one limiting member 311 is arranged on the side wall 1113 of the aerosol generating device 30, and cooperates with at least one limiting member 15.

[0069] The number of limiters 15 can be one, two, three, four, or more. The number of limiters 311 can be one, two, three, four, or more. In the present application, there is one limiter 15 and one limiter 311, which simplifies the structure of the charging device 10 and the structure of the aerosol generating device 30.

[0070] When the limiting member 15 on the bottom wall 1111 is a protrusion, the limiting member 311 on the aerosol generating device 30 is a groove 1115. When the limiting member 15 on the bottom wall 1111 is a groove 1115, the limiting member 311 on the aerosol generating device 30 is a protrusion. The limiting member 15 of the present application is a protrusion protruding from the bottom wall 1111 of the accommodating cavity, and the limiting member 311 is a groove 1115 on the side wall 1113 of the aerosol generating device 30. The limiting member 15 can be a block-shaped structure protruding from the bottom wall 1111. The cross-sectional shape of the limiting member 15 can be, but is not limited to, circular, elliptical, triangular, quadrilateral, or other polygonal. The shape of the limiting member 311 (groove 1115) matches the shape of the limiting member 15. The protrusion cooperates with the groove 1115 to limit the movement of the aerosol generating device 30 in the longitudinal direction X of the housing 11 and to limit the rotation of the aerosol generating device 30 relative to the housing 11 in the circumferential direction of the aerosol generating device 30 .

[0071] See also Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6In certain embodiments, in the longitudinal direction X of the housing 11, the stopper 15 is located at the center of the housing 11, and the stopper 311 is located at the center of the aerosol generating device 30. Because the aerosol generating device 30 is a generally regular cylindrical structure, the center of gravity of the aerosol generating device 30 is approximately located at the center of the longitudinal direction X of the aerosol generating device 30. When the stopper 15 is located at the center of the housing 11 and the stopper 311 is located at the center of the aerosol generating device 30, the cooperation between the stopper 15 and the stopper 311 can effectively limit the center position of the aerosol generating device 30, thereby ensuring that the aerosol generating device 30 is firmly positioned within the accommodating groove 111, further preventing the aerosol generating device 30 from moving relative to the housing 11 or falling off the housing 11, and making the aerosol generating device 30 less susceptible to damage.

[0072] Preferably, in the longitudinal direction X of the housing 11, the first magnetic member 13 may be located at the center of the housing 11, and the second magnetic member 33 may be located at the center of the aerosol generating device 30. When the first magnetic member 13 and the second magnetic member 33 are attracted to each other, the aerosol generating device 30 can be firmly attached to the receiving groove 111, and the aerosol generating device 30 is not likely to move relative to the housing 11 or fall off the housing 11.

[0073] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, a first magnetic member 13 is disposed in the mounting cavity 1117 of the housing 11, a curved and extending stopper 15 is disposed at the top of the sidewall 1113 of the accommodating cavity, and a second magnetic member 33 is disposed in the aerosol generating device 30. The first magnetic member 13 and the second magnetic member 33 attract each other, and the curved and extending stopper 15 can cover the sidewall 1113 of the aerosol generating device 30, thereby effectively limiting the position of the aerosol generating device 30. The aerosol generating device 30 can be firmly positioned in the accommodating groove 111, and the aerosol generating device 30 is not easily moved or detached relative to the housing 11. In addition, the structures of the charging device 10 and the aerosol generating device 30 are relatively simple.

[0074] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5In another embodiment, a first magnetic member 13 is provided in the mounting cavity 1117 of the housing 11, and elastically raised stoppers 15 are respectively provided on the two sidewalls 1113 of the accommodating cavity. The aerosol generating device 30 is provided with a second magnetic member 33, and the sidewalls 1113 of the aerosol generating device 30 are provided with recessed stoppers 311. The first magnetic member 13 and the second magnetic member 33 attract each other, and the elastically raised stoppers 15 cooperate with the recessed stoppers 311, thereby effectively limiting the position of the aerosol generating device 30. The aerosol generating device 30 can be firmly located in the accommodating groove 111, and the aerosol generating device 30 is not easily moved relative to the housing 11 or detached from the housing 11. In addition, the structures of the charging device 10 and the aerosol generating device 30 are relatively simple.

[0075] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7 In another embodiment, a first magnetic member 13 is provided in the mounting cavity 1117 of the housing 11, a raised stopper 15 is provided on the bottom wall 1111 of the accommodating cavity, a second magnetic member 33 is provided in the aerosol generating device 30, and a recessed stopper 311 is provided on the side wall 1113 of the aerosol generating device 30. The first magnetic member 13 and the second magnetic member 33 attract each other, and the raised stopper 15 cooperates with the recessed stopper 311 to effectively limit the position of the aerosol generating device 30. The aerosol generating device 30 can be securely positioned within the accommodating cavity 111, making it difficult for the aerosol generating device 30 to move relative to the housing 11 or fall off. Furthermore, the structures of both the charging device 10 and the aerosol generating device 30 are relatively simple.

[0076] In another embodiment, a first magnetic member 13 is provided in the mounting cavity 1117 of the housing 11, a curved and extending stopper 15 is provided at the top of the sidewall 1113 of the accommodating cavity, elastically protruding stoppers 15 are provided on each of the two sidewalls 1113 of the accommodating cavity, and a protruding stopper 15 is provided on the bottom wall 1111 of the accommodating cavity. The aerosol generating device 30 is provided with a second magnetic member 33, and a recessed stopper 311 is provided on the sidewall 1113 of the aerosol generating device 30, corresponding to the stopper 15 (elastic protrusion) on the sidewall 1113 of the accommodating cavity. The sidewall 1113 of the aerosol generating device 30 is also provided with a recessed stopper 311 corresponding to the stopper 15 (protrusion) on the bottom wall 1111 of the accommodating cavity. The first magnetic member 13 and the second magnetic member 33 attract each other, the bent and extended limiting member 15 covers the side wall 1113 of the aerosol generating device 30, the elastically raised limiting member 15 cooperates with the corresponding recessed limiting member 311, and the raised limiting member 15 cooperates with the corresponding recessed limiting member 311, thereby more effectively limiting the position of the aerosol generating device 30, and further preventing the aerosol generating device 30 from moving relative to the shell 11 or falling off relative to the shell 11. The aerosol generating device 30 can be firmly located in the accommodating groove 111, and the aerosol generating device 30 is not easy to fall and be damaged.
