Abstract
Description
Technical field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of aerosol technology, and in particular to a charging box for accommodating an aerosol generating device and an aerosol generating system. [Background Technology]
[0002] Traditional tobacco-generating substrates (e.g., cigarettes, cigars, etc.) burn tobacco to produce tobacco smoke during use. Products that release compounds through heating without combustion have emerged as an alternative to these traditional tobacco-generating substrates. Examples of such products include aerosol-generating devices, which typically include a heating element and a battery to power the heating element. The heating element heats the aerosol-generating substrate, thereby generating an aerosol for the user to inhale.
[0003] Aerosol-generating devices are typically paired with a charging case, which houses and charges the aerosol-generating device. The charging case typically includes a cover that rotates between a first position and a second position, allowing the cover to be opened or closed. Furthermore, a limiter structure is typically provided within the charging case to restrict the cover's rotation angle, ensuring that the cover can only rotate between the first and second positions. [Utility Model Content]

[0008] a rotating shaft, used to rotatably connect the first rotating part and the second rotating part, thereby enabling the cover to rotate relative to the base between a first position and a second position to close or open the charging box;
[0009] In which, the first rotating part is provided with a groove, the second rotating part has end faces arranged opposite to each other along the length direction of the charging box, and the second rotating part also includes a protrusion extending from the end face into the groove, and the protrusion has a first abutting surface and a second abutting surface, and the first abutting surface and the second abutting surface are used to abut against the inner wall of the groove during the rotation of the cover body, thereby limiting the cover body to the first position or the second position.
[0010] In one embodiment, the inner wall includes a first wall arranged opposite to the protrusion and a second wall adjacent to the first wall, and the first abutting surface and the second abutting surface both abut against the second wall.
[0011] In one embodiment, a portion of the rotating shaft is located in the groove, and an arc surface is connected between the first abutting surface and the second abutting surface, and the arc surface is in contact with the outer surface of the rotating shaft.

[0042] An embodiment of the present application provides a charging box 100, such as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the charging case 100 is used to accommodate and charge the aerosol generating device 200. The aerosol generating device 200 is used to heat the aerosol generating product to generate aerosol. The charging case 100 includes a base 10 and a cover 20. The base 10 is provided with a battery cell 11 and a charging terminal 12. When the aerosol generating device 200 is accommodated in the charging case 100, the conductive electrode (not shown) of the aerosol generating device 200 is electrically connected to the charging terminal 12, so that the battery cell 11 can charge the aerosol generating device 200 through the charging terminal 12.
[0043] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the base 10 is provided with a first rotating portion 13, and the first rotating portion 13 is provided with a first axis hole 132. The cover body 20 includes a second rotating portion 21, and the second rotating portion 21 is provided with a second axis hole 211. The charging box 100 also includes a rotating shaft 14 inserted into the first axis hole 132 and the second axis hole 211, and then the first rotating portion 13 and the second rotating portion 21 are rotatably connected through the rotating shaft 14, so that the cover body 20 can rotate between the first position and the second position relative to the base 10. When the cover body 20 is rotated to the first position, the cover body 20 covers the base 10. At this time, the charging box 100 is in a closed state, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 When the cover 20 is rotated to the second position, the cover 20 is separated from the base 10. At this time, the charging box 100 is in an open state, and the user can take the aerosol generating device 200 out of the charging box 100. Figure 2 shown.
[0044] In some embodiments, the rotating shaft 14 can be first fixed in the first shaft hole 132 on the first rotating portion 13, and then the rotating shaft 14 can be inserted into the second shaft hole 211 of the second rotating portion 21, thereby rotating the cover 20 relative to the base 10. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the rotating shaft 14 can be first fixed in the second shaft hole 211 of the second rotating portion 21, and then the rotating shaft 14 can be inserted into the first shaft hole 132 of the first rotating portion 13. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the first rotating portion 13 and the second rotating portion 21 can be assembled first, so that the first shaft hole 132 and the second shaft hole 211 are aligned, and then the rotating shaft 14 can be inserted into the first shaft hole 132 and the second shaft hole 211. Both the first rotating portion 13 and the second rotating portion 21 can rotate around the rotating shaft 14, which facilitates assembly.
[0045] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the base 10 has a first end 15 and a second end 16 disposed opposite to each other along its thickness direction. When the cover 20 is rotated to the first position, the cover 20 covers the first end 15 and defines a receiving chamber 17 for receiving the aerosol generating device 200 with the end surface 150 of the first end 15. Figure 3 The X direction of the median coordinate axis.
[0046] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 As shown, along the length direction of the base 10, the length direction is Figure 3 In the Y direction of the middle coordinate axis, the end surface 150 of the first end 15 includes a supporting surface 151 distributed in sequence for supporting the aerosol generating device 200, and an inclined surface 152 extending from the supporting surface 151 away from the first end 15. When the aerosol generating device 200 is placed in the charging box 100, a part of the aerosol generating device 200 is supported by the supporting surface 151 and thus maintained in the receiving chamber 17, while the remaining part maintains a gap 153 with the inclined surface 152, so that the remaining part is in a suspended state, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown, the user can manually press one end in the suspended state so that the end is kept in contact with the inclined surface 152, thereby causing the other end of the aerosol generating device 200 to tilt up, as shown in FIG. Figure 9 As shown, the user can now conveniently take the raised end to remove the aerosol generating device 200 from the charging box 100.
[0047] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the inclined surfaces 152 include two inclined surfaces 152, which are located on both sides of the support surface 151, so that the user can press on either end of the aerosol generating device 200 to make the other end tilt so that the user can remove the aerosol generating device 200 from the charging box 100.
[0048] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the second rotating part 21 has two end faces 212 arranged opposite to each other along the length direction of the charging box 100, and a groove 131 is provided on the first rotating part 13. The second rotating part 21 also includes a protrusion 213 extending from the end face 212 to the groove 131. The protrusion 213 has a first abutting surface 2131 and a second abutting surface 2132. During the rotation of the cover body 20, the first abutting surface 2131 and the second abutting surface 2132 can abut against the inner wall of the groove 131, thereby limiting the cover body to the first position or the second position.
[0049] Specifically, the inner wall of the groove 131 includes a first wall 1311 arranged opposite to the protrusion 213 and a second wall 1312 adjacent to the first wall 1311. When the cover body 20 rotates from the first position to the second position and reaches the second position, the first abutting surface 2131 abuts against the second wall 1312, thereby restricting the cover body 20 to the second position and preventing the cover body 20 from continuing to rotate. Figure 12 Similarly, when the cover 20 rotates from the second position to the first position and turns to the first position, the second abutting surface 2132 and the second wall 1312 abut against each other, thereby limiting the cover 20 to the first position and preventing the cover 20 from continuing to rotate, as shown Figure 13 shown.
[0050] Through the method of this embodiment, the limiting structure includes a protrusion 213 and a groove 131. The protrusion 213 and the groove 131 cooperate with each other to complete the limitation of the cover body 20. Since the protrusion 213 extends into the groove 131 and cooperates with the groove 131 to complete the limitation of the cover body 20, the space occupied by the limiting structure can be reduced.
[0051] In some embodiments, as Figure 11 and Figure 13 As shown, a portion of the rotating shaft 14 is located in the groove 131, and an arc surface 2133 is connected between the first abutting surface 2131 and the second abutting surface 2132, and the arc surface 2133 fits the outer surface of the rotating shaft 14, so that the arc surface 2133 can rotate along the rotating shaft 14 during the rotation process, thereby improving the stability of the second rotating part 21 during the rotation process and avoiding the second rotating part 21 from shaking during the rotation process.
[0052] Further in some embodiments, Figure 14 As shown, the first shaft hole 132 is opened on the inner wall of the groove 131 , so that a portion of the rotating shaft 14 extends in the groove 131 .
[0053] And, in some embodiments, as Figure 14 and Figure 15As shown, the first shaft hole 132 is defined by a first wall 1311 and a second wall 1313 adjacent to the first wall 1311, so that the portion of the rotating shaft 14 located in the groove 131 is partially embedded in the second wall 1313, thereby providing sufficient space for the protrusion 213 to rotate in the groove 131, avoiding increasing the size of the groove 131 and further reducing the space occupied by the limiting structure.
[0054] In some embodiments, the height of the protrusion 213 protruding from the end surface is not less than 1 mm, so as to increase the abutment area when the first abutment surface 2131 and the second abutment surface 2132 abut against the inner wall of the groove 131, thereby making it possible for the first abutment surface 2131 and the second abutment surface 2132 to more stably limit the cover body 20 to the first position or the second position when abutting against the inner wall of the groove 131.
[0055] In some embodiments, as Figure 11 As shown, in order to increase the contact area between the first abutting surface 2131 and the second abutting surface 2132 and the inner wall of the groove 131, the first abutting surface 2131 and the second abutting surface 2132 are both constructed to be planes, so that when the first abutting surface 2131 and the second abutting surface 2132 abut against the inner wall of the groove 131, the first abutting surface 2131 and the second abutting surface 2132 can fully fit with the inner wall of the groove 131.
[0056] In some embodiments, as Figure 14 As shown, the depth d1 of the groove 131 is greater than the width d2 of the groove 131 , thereby providing a rotation space for the protrusion 213 in the groove 131 while minimizing the size of the groove 131 to reduce the space occupied by the limiting structure.
[0057] It is worth noting that the first rotating part 13 and the second rotating part 21 in the above embodiment are both made of high-strength materials. Suitable high-strength materials can be any one of stainless steel, aluminum alloy or titanium alloy, so that the boss 213 is not easily worn or deformed when it abuts against the inner wall of the groove 131.
[0058] At least one embodiment of the present application further provides an aerosol generating system, which includes the charging box 100 and the aerosol generating device 200 described in the above embodiments. The charging box 100 is used to accommodate the aerosol generating device 200 and charge the aerosol generating device.
[0059] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit them. Based on the concept of the present application, the technical features in the above embodiments or different embodiments can also be combined, the steps can be implemented in any order, and there are many other variations in different aspects of the present application as described above. For the sake of simplicity, they are not provided in detail. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. These modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
