[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.
[0035] In addition, the descriptions of "first," "second," etc. in this utility model are for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the fact that they can be implemented by ordinary technicians in this field. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by this utility model.
[0036] In this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "connection" and "fixation" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "fixation" can mean fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection or electrical connection; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two elements or interaction between two elements, unless otherwise specified. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0037] Please refer to Figure 1-6The utility model proposes an aerosol generating device, comprising a shell 1, a bracket 2, a seal 3 and an adjustment component 4. The shell 1 is provided with an air inlet 11, and the bracket 2 is accommodated in the shell 1. The bracket 2 is provided with a mounting groove 22 for mounting an atomization component, and a receiving groove 21 connected to the mounting groove 22 is provided corresponding to the air inlet 11. The seal 3 covers the inner wall of the mounting groove 22, and partially protrudes from the mounting groove 22 and elastically abuts against the shell 1. The adjustment component 4 is slidably mounted in the receiving groove 21, and one side elastically abuts against the seal 3, and the other side is attached to the shell 1 and partially extends into the air inlet 11 and is exposed in the shell 1 for operation. When the exposed part of the adjustment component 4 slides under force, it drives the adjustment component 4 to slide in the mounting groove 22 and generates friction with the seal 3. By completely covering the receiving groove 21 with the seal 3, the gaps between the bracket 2 and the housing 1, and between the adjustment component 4 and the bracket 2 are sealed, so that oil cannot enter the equipment through the above gaps, thereby not affecting the sealing performance and causing oil leakage during the gas adjustment process.
[0038] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the bracket 2 has two opposite ends, and the mounting groove 22 is provided at one end of the bracket 2 for mounting the atomizer assembly. The other end of the bracket 2 can be provided with a structure for mounting components such as a battery assembly, a control assembly, and a button assembly. After the components in the bracket 2 are assembled, they are installed in the housing 1. The receiving groove 21 is provided on the bracket 2, and the open end of the receiving groove 21 is exposed from the bracket 2 and is provided corresponding to the air inlet 11. That is, the open end of the receiving groove 21 is at least partially opposite to the air inlet 11, thereby communicating with the air inlet 11. Accordingly, the bracket 2 is provided with a vent 24, one end of the vent 24 is connected to the receiving groove 21, and the other end is connected to the mounting groove 22. In this way, subsequent external air can enter the mounting groove 22 from the air inlet 11 via the receiving groove 21 and the vent 24, thereby participating in the heating and atomization of the atomizer assembly and generating aerosol.
[0039] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the bottom wall of the receiving groove 21 is provided with at least one limiting rib 23, and the sealing member 3 is provided with at least one limiting groove that matches the limiting rib 23. When the sealing member 3 covers the inner wall of the receiving groove 21, the at least one limiting rib 23 is accommodated within the corresponding limiting groove. This embodiment limits the position of the sealing member 3 through the cooperation between the limiting rib 23 and the limiting groove, while also increasing the contact area between the sealing member 3 and the inner wall of the receiving groove 21, thereby further stabilizing the position of the sealing member 3. In actual application, the shape, size, and height of each limiting rib 23 can be the same, or they can be configured to be different depending on the positioning requirements.
[0040] In some embodiments, as Figure 3-4 As shown, the sealing member 3 includes a bottom plate 31 and a side plate 32. The bottom plate 31 is placed on the bottom wall of the receiving groove 21 and fits tightly with the bottom wall of the receiving groove 21. The side plate 32 is vertically connected to the bottom plate 31, and the side plate 32 forms a closed structure that matches the receiving groove 21. The outer wall of the side plate 32 fits tightly with the side wall of the receiving groove 21. In this way, the inner wall of the receiving groove 21 is completely covered by the sealing member 3, and the subsequent adjustment component 4 is installed in the closed structure surrounded by the side plate 32. In this way, the movable space of the adjustment component 4 is completely covered by the sealing member 3, so that the sliding of the sealing member 3 will not cause sealing failure.
[0041] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the receiving groove 21 is provided with a first retaining rib 231 adjacent to the sidewall. The first retaining rib 231 forms a closed structure corresponding to the receiving groove 21. For example, when the receiving groove 21 is rectangular, the first retaining rib 231 forms a rectangular structure, with the rectangular structure coinciding with the center of the receiving groove 21. When the receiving groove 21 is circular, the first retaining rib 231 forms a circular structure, with the circular structure coinciding with the center of the receiving groove 21. This ensures that the first retaining ribs 231 are evenly distributed across all directions of the receiving groove 21, facilitating a uniform force on the bottom plate 31, preventing localized deformation or displacement of the bottom plate 31 and thereby improving the retaining effect. Accordingly, the bottom plate 31 is provided with a corresponding first annular retaining groove 312. When the bottom plate 31 is supported on the bottom wall of the receiving groove 21, the first retaining rib 231 is accommodated within the first annular retaining groove 312. In this embodiment, the bottom plate 31 is uniformly limited by the cooperation of the first limiting rib 231 and the first annular limiting groove 312 , so that the bottom plate 31 is tightly connected to the bottom wall of the accommodating groove 21 .
[0042] Furthermore, at least one second limiting rib 232 is provided at intervals along the bottom wall of the receiving groove 21. The second limiting rib 232 extends perpendicularly to the sliding direction of the adjustment assembly 4. That is, the extension direction of the second rib is perpendicular to the extension direction of the receiving groove 21. The bottom plate 31 is correspondingly provided with at least one matching strip-shaped limiting groove 313. Each second limiting rib 232 is accommodated in a corresponding strip-shaped limiting groove 313. By providing limiting ribs 23 perpendicular to the sliding direction, this embodiment prevents the seal 3 from shifting in the sliding direction during the sliding of the adjustment assembly 4, thereby avoiding the problem of seal failure.
[0043] In some embodiments, one end of the vent 24 passes through the bottom wall of the receiving groove 21 and is connected to the receiving groove 21. At the same time, the vent 24 is at least partially opposite to the air inlet 11. In this way, the subsequent adjustment component 4 adjusts the air intake by controlling the overlap between the air inlet 11 and the vent 24. The bottom wall is provided with a third limiting rib 233 surrounding the vent 24. Correspondingly, the bottom plate 31 is provided with a avoidance hole 311 coaxial with the vent 24, and a corresponding second annular limiting groove 314 surrounding the avoidance hole 311 is provided. The third limiting rib 233 extends into the second annular limiting groove 314, which can prevent the bottom plate 31 from being displaced at the vent 24, thereby covering the vent 24 and causing the air path to be blocked.
[0044] In some embodiments, one end of the side plate 32 away from the bottom plate 31 extends out of the receiving groove 21, and the extended portion elastically abuts against the housing 1. Thus, the side plate 32 seals the gap between the housing 1 and the bracket 2, preventing oil leaking into the receiving groove 21 from entering the bracket 2 through the gap, thereby improving sealing performance.
[0045] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the adjustment assembly 4 includes a sliding portion 41 and a lever 42. The sliding portion 41 is provided with a through adjustment hole 411, and the axial direction of the adjustment hole 411 is parallel to the axial direction of the air inlet 11. The sliding portion 41 is slidably installed in the accommodating groove 21. Since the inner wall of the accommodating groove 21 is completely covered by the sealing member 3, the sliding portion 41 is supported by the sealing member 3. That is, the bottom of the sliding portion 41 is in contact with the bottom plate 31, and the side away from the bottom wall of the accommodating groove 21, that is, the top, is in contact with the outer shell 1. When the sliding portion 41 slides in the accommodating groove 21, the bottom of the sliding portion 41 generates sliding friction with the bottom plate 31, which increases the sliding resistance and thus enhances the damping feel of the user's operation.
[0046] Furthermore, the bottom of the sliding portion 41 has a plurality of protrusions 412 extending at intervals toward the bottom plate 31. The small surface contact between the protrusions 412 and the bottom plate 31 converts the large surface contact between the sliding portion 41 and the bottom plate 31 into small surface contact, thereby avoiding the problem of excessive friction causing difficulty in sliding the sliding portion 41. In actual applications, the protrusions 412 can be strip-shaped, dot-shaped, or frame-shaped structures protruding from the sliding portion 41.
[0047] In some embodiments, one end of the lever 42 is vertically inserted into the sliding portion 41, and the other end extends into the air inlet 11 and is exposed to the housing 1 for user operation. In actual application, the lever 42 includes a lever 42 body and a cap body. The sliding portion 41 is provided with a plug-in hole adapted to the lever 42 body. One end of the lever 42 body is fastened into the plug-in hole, and the other end is connected to the cap body. The cap body is accommodated in the air inlet 11, and partially extends out of the air inlet 11 and protrudes from the surface of the housing 1 to facilitate user manipulation. When the cap body is moved, the lever 42 body is driven to slide, and the lever 42 body drives the sliding portion 41 to move in the accommodating groove 21, thereby adjusting the overlap between the air inlet 11 and the vent 24 through the adjustment hole 411 to achieve the purpose of adjusting the air intake volume. In this embodiment, when the cap body abuts the inner wall of one end of the air inlet 11, the central axes of the adjustment hole 411, the air inlet 11, and the vent 24 completely coincide. Thus, the degree of overlap between the air inlet 11 and the vent is maximized, and the air intake is maximized. When the cap body abuts the inner wall of the other end of the air inlet 11, the adjustment hole 411 is completely misaligned with the air inlet 11 and / or the vent 24, meaning that the air inlet 11 and / or the vent 24 are completely covered by the sliding portion 41. At this point, the air intake is minimized. The inner diameter of the air inlet 11 in the sliding direction limits the travel of the lever 42, facilitating user adjustment. In practical applications, the air inlet 11 can be a runway-shaped hole or a strip-shaped hole.
[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
