[0033] The aerosol generating device is a small device capable of acting on an aerosol generating substrate using a heat not burning (HNB) technology and generating an aerosol. Specifically, the aerosol generating device usually heats the aerosol generating substrate to a temperature at which the aerosol generating substrate can generate an aerosol but is not enough to burn, so that the aerosol generating substrate can generate an aerosol for a user to smoke without burning. The aerosol generating device is usually also provided with a matching charging device for charging the aerosol generating device. However, when the aerosol generating device is electrically connected to the charging device, external substances are easy to fall into the inside of the aerosol generating device from the opening of the aerosol generating device, and harmful substances are generated during heating, thereby affecting human health. In order to solve this problem, the charging device 100 and the charging system 1000 (as shown) are provided in the embodiments of the present application. Figure 1

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 ​The charging device 100 of the embodiment of the present application includes a loading member 10, a cover assembly 30, and a first magnetic member 40. The loading member 10 is provided with a receiving groove 11 for receiving the aerosol generating device 300 and has an opening 111 in the length direction L of the charging device 100. The cover assembly 30 is mounted on the loading member 10 and is movable relative to the loading member 10, and the cover assembly 30 includes a cover 31 located outside the loading member 10. The first magnetic member 40 is mounted on the cover 31, and the first magnetic member 40 is configured to be attracted and drive the cover assembly 30 to move relative to the loading member 10 in a first direction X so that the cover 31 covers at least part of the opening 111 of the receiving groove 11.

[0035] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In detail, the charging system 1000 of the embodiment of the present application includes a charging device 100 and an aerosol generating device 300. The charging device 100 is a structure for charging the aerosol generating device 300. For example, in a case where a part of the power of the aerosol generating device 300 is consumed or the power of the aerosol generating device 300 is completely consumed, i.e., in a case where the power of the aerosol generating device 300 is less than 100%, the aerosol generating device 300 can be electrically connected to the charging device 100, and the charging device 100 can charge the aerosol generating device 300.

[0036] The aerosol generating device 300 is a structure capable of generating an aerosol by heating an aerosol generating substrate. The aerosol can be visible or invisible and can include a vapor (e.g., a fine particulate matter in a gaseous state, which is usually a liquid or a solid at room temperature) and liquid droplets of a gas and condensed vapor. The aerosol generating substrate is a product that is processed and capable of generating an aerosol when heated. The aerosol generating substrate can be in a liquid state, or in a full solid state or a semi-solid state. In a case where the aerosol generating substrate is in a liquid state, the liquid aerosol generating substrate is a mixed liquid in which nicotine and tobacco are dissolved, and the solute is a common organic solute and / or an inorganic solute such as propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, and pure water. In a case where the aerosol generating substrate is in a full solid state, the aerosol generating substrate can be prepared in a roll-pressing, thick paste, die-casting, or extrusion process. The aerosol generating substrate can be in a cylindrical structure similar to a cigarette, or in a sheet structure, a strip structure, or a block structure.

[0037] The aerosol-generating device 300 is provided with a loading cavity 303 for the aerosol-generating substrate to enter the aerosol-generating device 300. In the case that the aerosol-generating substrate extends into the aerosol-generating device 300, the aerosol-generating substrate can be heated to generate an aerosol for the user to inhale. In the case that the aerosol-generating device 300 is connected to the charging device 100 for charging, foreign substances (for example, dust) are easy to fall into the inside of the aerosol-generating device 300 through the loading cavity 303. In the case that the aerosol-generating device 300 heats the aerosol-generating substrate, the foreign substances are also easy to be heated, and the foreign substances are easy to generate harmful substances in the case of heating, which is easy to affect human health. Moreover, since the aerosol-generating device 300 is small in size (for the convenience of carrying), the aerosol-generating device 300 itself is difficult to set a dustproof structure. The present application sets the cover assembly 30 on the charging device 100, and in the case that the aerosol-generating device 300 is accommodated in the accommodation groove 11, the cover assembly 30 can shield the loading cavity 303, so as to avoid the foreign substances from falling into the inside of the aerosol-generating device 300.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The loading member 10 is a structure for loading other elements, and the loading member 10 of the present application is used to carry the cover assembly 30 and the first magnetic member 40, and the loading member 10 is also used to load the aerosol-generating device 300. The accommodation groove 11 is arranged on one side of the loading member 10, and the accommodation groove 11 is an open structure at one end, so as to facilitate the taking and placing of the aerosol-generating device 300 in the accommodation groove 11. In the length direction L of the charging device 100, the opposite ends of the accommodation groove 11 are both provided with openings 111. In the case that the aerosol-generating device 300 is accommodated in the accommodation groove 11, the loading cavity 303 corresponds to the opening 111 of the accommodation groove 11 close to the cover assembly 30. In the case that the cover 31 covers at least part of the opening 111 of the accommodation groove 11, the cover 31 can cover the loading cavity 303 of the suction nozzle, so that the foreign substances are not easy to fall into the inside of the aerosol-generating device 300.

[0039] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4In the charging device 100, when the aerosol generating device 300 is accommodated in the accommodation groove 11, the first magnetic member 40 can be attracted to drive the cover assembly 30 to move relative to the loading member 10 along the first direction X, so that the cover 31 can be stably positioned at a position capable of covering at least part of the opening 111 of the accommodation groove 11. When the cover 31 covers at least part of the opening 111 of the accommodation groove 11, the cover 31 can cover the opening 111 of the aerosol generating device 300, so that external substances can be prevented from falling into the aerosol generating device 300, and the problem that external substances are heated to generate harmful substances and harm human health can be avoided.

[0040] Referring to Figures 3 to 5 The first magnetic member 40 is a structure capable of magnetically attracting other elements through its own magnetic field. For example, the first magnetic member 40 can be a magnet. In the charging device 100, when the aerosol generating device 300 is accommodated in the accommodation groove 11, the first magnetic member 40 can be attracted to drive the cover 31 to move along the first direction X, so that the cover 31 can cover at least part of the opening 111 of the accommodation groove 11. In the charging device 100 including the first magnetic member 40, when the first magnetic member 40 is attracted, the first magnetic member 40 can enable the cover 31 to be stably positioned at a position capable of covering the opening 111 of the accommodation groove 11. In the case of shaking or falling of the charging device 100, the cover 31 can be prevented from moving relative to the loading member 10 to open the opening 111 of the accommodation groove 11, so that the cover 31 has a good covering effect on the loading cavity 303 of the aerosol generating device 300, and external substances are less likely to fall into the aerosol generating device 300.

[0041] In the charging device 100, when the aerosol generating device 300 is accommodated in the accommodation groove 11, the first magnetic member 40 can be attracted to drive the cover assembly 30 to move relative to the loading member 10 along the first direction X, so that the cover 31 can be stably positioned at a position capable of covering at least part of the opening 111 of the accommodation groove 11. When the cover 31 covers at least part of the opening 111 of the accommodation groove 11, the cover 31 can cover the opening 111 of the aerosol generating device 300, so that external substances can be prevented from falling into the aerosol generating device 300, and the problem that external substances are heated to generate harmful substances and harm human health can be avoided.

[0042] The charging device 100 will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] Referring to Figures 3 to 5In some embodiments, the aerosol generating device 300 is provided with a fourth magnetic member 301. The aerosol generating device 300 is detachably accommodated in the accommodation groove 11, and the fourth magnetic member 301 cooperates with the first magnetic member 40 to generate a second attractive force, which drives the cover assembly 30 to move relative to the loading member 10 in the first direction X so that the cover 31 covers at least part of the opening 111 of the accommodation groove 11.

[0044] The fourth magnetic member 301 is arranged at one end of the loading cavity 303 of the aerosol generating device 300. When the aerosol generating device 300 is accommodated in the accommodation groove 11, the first magnetic member 40 and the fourth magnetic member 301 are attracted to each other to generate a second attractive force, which can stably keep the cover 31 in a position capable of blocking the opening 111 of the accommodation groove 11, so that the cover 31 has a good covering effect on the loading cavity 303, and external substances can be prevented from falling into the aerosol generating device 300 through the loading cavity 303.

[0045] Referring to Figures 2 to 5 In one embodiment, the fourth magnetic member 301 includes a first sub-member 3011, which is sleeved on the top of the aerosol generating device 300 and can cooperate with the first magnetic member 40 to generate a second attractive force. In one example, the first sub-member 3011 is a structure that can be magnetically attracted to other elements by its own magnetic field, for example, the first sub-member 3011 can be a magnet. In another example, the first sub-member 3011 is an element that can be magnetized in a magnetic field, for example, the first sub-member 3011 can be stainless steel. When the aerosol generating device 300 is accommodated in the accommodation groove 11, a user can apply an external force to the cover assembly 30 to move the cover assembly 30 in the first direction X, so that the cover 31 can cover at least part of the opening 111 of the accommodation groove 11 (i.e., the cover 31 can cover the loading cavity 303). When the cover 31 covers at least part of the opening 111 of the accommodation groove 11, the first magnetic member 40 corresponds to the first sub-member 3011 in the length direction L of the charging device 100, and the first magnetic member 40 can generate a second attractive force with the first sub-member 3011, which can keep the cover 31 in a position capable of covering at least part of the opening 111 of the accommodation groove 11.

[0046] Referring to Figures 2 to 5In another embodiment, the fourth magnetic member 301 includes a first sub-member 3011 and a second sub-member 3013. The first sub-member 3011 is sleeved on the top of the aerosol generating device 300, and the second sub-member 3013 is arranged in the loading cavity 303. The first sub-member 3011 and the second sub-member 3013 can both cooperate with the first magnetic member 40 to generate a second attractive force. In one example, the first sub-member 3011 can be a magnet or stainless steel, and the second sub-member 3013 can be a magnet. When the aerosol generating device 300 is accommodated in the accommodation groove 11, the second attractive force generated by the cooperation between the first sub-member 3011, the second sub-member 3013 and the first magnetic member 40 is relatively large, which can automatically drive the cover assembly 30 to move in the first direction X, so that the cover 31 can cover at least part of the opening 111 of the accommodation groove 11 (i.e., the cover 31 can cover the loading cavity 303). At this time, when the aerosol generating device 300 is accommodated in the accommodation groove 11, the cover 31 can automatically move in the first direction X to cover the opening 111 of the accommodation groove 11, without the need for the user to apply an external force to the cover assembly 30. The operation of the user is relatively simple, and the user experience is relatively good.

[0047] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 In some embodiments, the accommodation groove 11 has a notch 113 in the first direction X; the loading member 10 is provided with a loading cavity 13 spaced from the accommodation groove 11, and the top of the loading member 10 is provided with a mounting groove 15 communicating with the loading cavity 13; the cover 31 includes a body portion 311, and the body portion 311 is at least partially accommodated in the mounting groove 15, and the first magnetic member 40 is mounted on the first side 3111 of the body portion 311 facing the loading cavity 13.

[0048] The notch 113 of the accommodation groove 11 is used for accommodating the aerosol generating device 300 in the accommodation groove 11. The cover 31 includes a body portion 311 and a connecting portion 313 connected with the body portion 311 and extending into the loading cavity 13. The connecting portion 313 is used for connecting with other elements in the loading cavity 13. The body portion 311 is used for covering the opening 111 of the accommodation groove 11 to cover the loading cavity 303 of the aerosol generating device 300, so as to prevent external substances from entering the inside of the aerosol generating device 300 through the loading cavity 303. The body portion 311 and the connecting portion 313 can be an integral structure or a split structure. When the body portion 311 and the connecting portion 313 are an integral structure, the body portion 311 and the connecting portion 313 can be integrally formed, and the processing steps of the charging device 100 are relatively simple. When the body portion 311 and the connecting portion 313 are a split structure, the connecting portion 313 can be detachably or non-detachably mounted on the body portion 311. The detachable mounting mode includes but is not limited to threaded connection, screw connection or buckle connection, etc. The non-detachable mounting mode includes but is not limited to welding, adhesive connection or interference fit, etc.

[0049] Please combineFigure 1 and Figure 2 The mounting groove 15 is formed by recessing the top of the loading member 10 towards the bottom, and is used to accommodate the body portion 311 therein, so that the volume utilization of the charging device 100 is high, and the overall volume of the charging device 100 is small, which is convenient for storage and carrying. The body portion 311 includes a first side 3111 and a second side 3113 opposite to each other, the first side 3111 of the body portion 311 is the side facing the loading cavity 13, and the second side 3113 of the body portion 311 is the side away from the loading cavity 13. In the case that the user applies an external force to the cover assembly 30, the user is in direct contact with the second side 3113 of the body portion 311, and the user moves the cover assembly 30 relative to the loading member 10 by applying an external force to the body portion 311. Preferably, the second side 3113 of the body portion 311 is a smooth curved surface, so that when the body portion 311 is touched, the user has a good hand feeling.

[0050] Referring to Figures 3 to 5 In some embodiments, the first side 3111 is recessed to form a recess 3115 towards the second side 3113, and the first magnetic member 40 is at least partially accommodated in the recess 3115. In the case that the first magnetic member 40 is accommodated in the recess 3115, the overall volume of the charging device 100 is small, which is convenient for storage and carrying. Moreover, in the case that the cover 31 covers the opening 111 of the accommodating groove 11, the distance between the first magnetic member 40 and the fourth magnetic member 301 is small, so that the second attractive force between the first magnetic member 40 and the fourth magnetic member 301 is large, and the large second attractive force can make the cover 31 stably located at the position covering the opening 111 of the accommodating groove 11. The first magnetic member 40 can be installed in the recess 3115 by adhesion, welding or interference fit, etc.

[0051] Referring to Figures 3 to 5 Further, in some embodiments, the charging device 100 further includes a second magnetic member 50 installed in the loading member 10, and the second magnetic member 50 cooperates with the first magnetic member 40 to generate the first attractive force, and the first attractive force makes the cover 31 open the opening 111.

[0052] When the aerosol-generating device 300 is separated from the accommodation groove 11, the second magnetic force between the first magnetic member 40 and the fourth magnetic member 301 disappears, and at this time, the second magnetic member 50 is attracted to the first magnetic member 40 to generate the first magnetic force. The first magnetic force can drive the cover body 31 to move relative to the loading member 10 to open the opening 111 of the accommodation groove 11. Thus, the overall volume of the charging device 100 is small, which is convenient for storage and carrying. After the aerosol-generating device 300 is separated from the accommodation groove 11, the first magnetic force can automatically return the cover body 31 to the initial position (i.e., the position of opening the opening 111 of the accommodation groove 11), without the user applying an external force to the cover body 31. The operation of the user is simple, and the user has a good experience.

[0053] Referring to Figures 3 to 5 The second magnetic member 50 is a structure that can attract other elements through its own magnetic field. For example, the second magnetic member 50 can be a magnet. In the length direction L of the charging device 100, the first magnetic member 40 is higher than the second magnetic member 50. In one embodiment, the upper surface of the first magnetic member 40 is an S pole, and the lower surface of the first magnetic member 40 is an N pole. At this time, the upper surface of the second magnetic member 50 is an S pole, and the lower surface of the second magnetic member 50 is an N pole. The N pole of the lower surface of the first magnetic member 40 and the S pole of the upper surface of the second magnetic member 50 are attracted to each other to generate the first magnetic force. In another embodiment, the upper surface of the first magnetic member 40 is an N pole, and the lower surface of the first magnetic member 40 is an S pole. At this time, the upper surface of the second magnetic member 50 is an N pole, and the lower surface of the second magnetic member 50 is an S pole. The S pole of the lower surface of the first magnetic member 40 and the N pole of the upper surface of the second magnetic member 50 are attracted to each other to generate the first magnetic force.

[0054] Referring to Figures 3 to 5 In some embodiments, when the cover body 31 covers at least part of the opening 111, the first magnetic force drives the cover body assembly 30 to move relative to the loading member 10 in the second direction Y to open the opening 111, and the second direction Y is opposite to the first direction X. In the first direction X, when the cover body 31 covers at least part of the opening 111 of the accommodation groove 11, the first magnetic member 40 is located on the right side of the second magnetic member 50. The first magnetic force generated between the first magnetic member 40 and the second magnetic member 50 can drive the cover body assembly 30 to move relative to the loading member 10 on the left side, i.e., the first magnetic force can drive the cover body assembly 30 to move in the second direction Y to open the opening 111 of the accommodation groove 11.

[0055] In some embodiments, the first magnetic member 40 and the second magnetic member 50 are configured to generate a first magnetic attraction force when the cover 31 is in the initial position. In some embodiments, the first magnetic member 40 and the fourth magnetic member 301 are configured to generate a second magnetic attraction force when the cover 31 is in the position covering the opening 111 of the accommodation slot 11. In some embodiments, the second magnetic attraction force is greater than the first magnetic attraction force.

[0056] Referring to FIG. 1, the charging device 100 includes a loading member 10 and a cover assembly 30. The loading member 10 includes a peripheral wall 16 and a loading portion 17. The peripheral wall 16 encloses a loading cavity 13. The loading portion 17 is connected to the peripheral wall 16 and located in the loading cavity 13. The loading portion 17 is provided with a loading slot 171. A second magnetic member 50 is at least partially accommodated in the loading slot 171. Figures 3 to 5 In some embodiments, the second magnetic attraction force is greater than the first magnetic attraction force. When the aerosol generating device 300 is accommodated in the accommodation slot 11, the first magnetic member 40 and the fourth magnetic member 301 cooperate to generate the second magnetic attraction force, and the first magnetic member 40 and the second magnetic member 50 cooperate to generate the first magnetic attraction force. When the second magnetic attraction force is greater than the first magnetic attraction force, the second magnetic attraction force can stably position the cover 31 in the position covering the opening 111 of the accommodation slot 11 (the loading cavity 303 of the aerosol generating device 300), thereby effectively preventing foreign matter from falling into the aerosol generating device 300. After the aerosol generating device 300 is separated from the accommodation slot 11, the second magnetic attraction force generated by the cooperation between the first magnetic member 40 and the fourth magnetic member 301 disappears. At this time, the cover 31 can open the opening 111 under the action of the first magnetic attraction force.

[0057] Referring to FIG. 1, the charging device 100 includes a loading member 10 and a cover assembly 30. The loading member 10 includes a peripheral wall 16 and a loading portion 17. The peripheral wall 16 encloses a loading cavity 13. The loading portion 17 is connected to the peripheral wall 16 and located in the loading cavity 13. The loading portion 17 is provided with a loading slot 171. A second magnetic member 50 is at least partially accommodated in the loading slot 171. Figures 3 to 5 In some embodiments, the loading member 10 includes a peripheral wall 16 and a loading portion 17. The peripheral wall 16 encloses a loading cavity 13. The loading portion 17 is connected to the peripheral wall 16 and located in the loading cavity 13. The loading portion 17 is provided with a loading slot 171. A second magnetic member 50 is at least partially accommodated in the loading slot 171.

[0058] The peripheral wall 16 and the loading portion 17 can be an integral structure or a split structure. When the peripheral wall 16 and the loading portion 17 are an integral structure, the peripheral wall 16 and the loading portion 17 can be integrally formed, and the processing steps of the charging device 100 are relatively simple. When the peripheral wall 16 and the loading portion 17 are a split structure, the loading portion 17 can be detachably or non-detachably mounted on the peripheral wall 16. The detachable mounting mode includes but is not limited to threaded connection, screw connection, or buckle connection, etc. The non-detachable mounting mode includes but is not limited to welding, adhesive connection, or interference fit, etc.

[0059] The loading cavity 13 is used for mounting the loading portion 17 and other elements therein. The loading slot 171 is used for mounting the second magnetic member 50 therein. When the second magnetic member 50 is accommodated in the loading slot 171, the overall volume of the charging device 100 is relatively small, which is convenient for storage and carrying. The second magnetic member 50 can be mounted in the loading slot 171 by adhesion, welding, or interference fit, etc.

[0060] Referring to Figures 3 to 5 In some embodiments, the loading member 10 further comprises a mounting portion 18, which is arranged on the loading portion 17 and cooperates with the bottom wall of the loading groove 171 to clamp the second magnetic member 50. In the length direction L of the charging device 100, the mounting portion 18 is arranged at the top end of the second magnetic member 50, and the mounting portion 18 can cooperate with the bottom wall of the loading groove 171 to clamp the second magnetic member 50, so as to further fix the second magnetic member 50 and prevent the second magnetic member 50 from falling out of the loading groove 171 in the case of shaking or falling of the charging device 100.

[0061] Referring to Figures 3 to 5 Further, in some embodiments, the charging device 100 further comprises a third magnetic member 60, which is arranged in the loading member 10. When the cover 31 covers at least part of the opening 111 of the accommodating groove 11, the third magnetic member 60 cooperates with the second magnetic member 50 to generate a repulsive force, which prevents the cover 31 from moving in the second direction Y.

[0062] In the case that the aerosol generating device 300 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity, the second attractive force generated between the first magnetic member 40 and the fourth magnetic member 301 can stably position the cover 31 at a position covering at least part of the opening 111 of the accommodating groove 11. At this time, the third magnetic member 60 and the second magnetic member 50 can cooperate to generate a repulsive force, which can further prevent the cover 31 from moving in the second direction Y, so that the cover 31 can effectively cover at least part of the opening 111 of the accommodating groove 11 (the loading cavity 303 of the aerosol generating device 300), thereby preventing external substances from entering the aerosol generating device 300.

[0063] The third magnetic member 60 is a structure that can magnetically attract other elements through its own magnetic field. For example, the third magnetic member 60 can be a magnet. In the length direction L of the charging device 100, the third magnetic member 60 is higher than the second magnetic member 50. When the cover 31 is positioned to cover at least part of the opening 111 of the accommodating groove 11, the third magnetic member 60 and the second magnetic member 50 are opposite to each other in the length direction L of the charging device 100. In one embodiment, the upper surface of the second magnetic member 50 is S-pole, and the lower surface of the second magnetic member 50 is N-pole. At this time, the upper surface of the third magnetic member 60 is N-pole, and the lower surface of the third magnetic member 60 is S-pole. The S-pole on the upper surface of the second magnetic member 50 and the S-pole on the lower surface of the third magnetic member 60 repel each other to generate a repulsive force. In another embodiment, the upper surface of the second magnetic member 50 is N-pole, and the lower surface of the second magnetic member 50 is S-pole. At this time, the upper surface of the third magnetic member 60 is S-pole, and the lower surface of the third magnetic member 60 is N-pole. The N-pole on the upper surface of the second magnetic member 50 and the N-pole on the lower surface of the third magnetic member 60 repel each other to generate a repulsive force.

[0064] Referring to Figures 3 to 5 In some embodiments, the first attractive force between the first magnetic member 40 and the second magnetic member 50 is greater than the repulsive force between the second magnetic member 50 and the third magnetic member 60.

[0065] In the case that the aerosol generating device 300 is separated from the accommodation groove 11, the first attractive force between the first magnetic member 40 and the second magnetic member 50 can drive the cover body 31 to move along the second direction Y to open the opening 111 of the accommodation groove 11. In the case that the first attractive force is greater than the repulsive force, the first attractive force can effectively drive the cover body 31 to move along the second direction Y to open the opening 111. If the repulsive force is greater than the first attractive force, the first attractive force can not be able to drive the cover body 31 to move along the second direction Y.

[0066] Referring to Figures 3 to 5 In some embodiments, the cover body assembly 30 further comprises a moving member 33 movably installed in the mounting portion 18 and located in the loading member 10, the moving member 33 is connected with the cover body assembly 30, and the third magnetic member 60 is installed on the moving member 33.

[0067] In the length direction L of the charging device 100, the moving member 33 is installed on the top of the mounting portion 18, and the second magnetic member 50 is located on the bottom of the mounting portion 18. Preferably, the third magnetic member 60 can be arranged on the side of the moving member 33 facing the second magnetic member 50, so that the distance between the second magnetic member 50 and the third magnetic member 60 is smaller, the repulsive force between the second magnetic member 50 and the third magnetic member 60 is greater, and the repulsive force can further keep the cover body 31 in the position covering the opening 111 of the accommodation groove 11 to avoid external substances from falling into the aerosol generating device 300. The side of the moving member 33 facing the second magnetic member 50 can be provided with a receiving groove, and the third magnetic member 60 can be installed in the receiving groove. In the case that the second magnetic member 50 is accommodated in the receiving groove, the overall volume of the charging device 100 is smaller, which is convenient for storage and carrying. The third magnetic member 60 can be installed in the receiving groove by means of adhesion, welding or interference fit, etc.

[0068] Referring to Figure 5 In some embodiments, the connecting portion 313 is connected with the moving member 33 through a fastener 331. In the case that the cover body assembly 30 is moved along the first direction X or the second direction Y by an external force (an external force applied by a user, the first attractive force or the second attractive force), the moving member 33 can move relative to the mounting portion 18, and the moving member 33 can drive the connecting portion 313 and the body portion 311 to move together, so that the movement of the body portion 311 is more stable. The fastener 331 is arranged through the connecting portion 313 and the moving member 33 to connect the connecting portion 313 with the moving member 33. The fastener 331 of the present application is a screw.

[0069] When the cover 31 is in the position covering the opening 111 of the accommodating groove 11, the repulsion force generated by the cooperation between the third magnetic member 60 and the second magnetic member 50 in the length direction L of the charging device 100 can make the moving member 33 tightly adhere to the top wall of the loading member 10, so that the friction between the moving member 33 and the top wall of the loading member 10 is relatively large, and the moving member 33 is difficult to move in the second direction Y, so that the connecting part 313 and the body part 311 are difficult to move in the second direction Y, and the cover 31 can be stably in the position covering the opening 111 of the accommodating groove 11.

[0070] Referring to Figure 5 In some embodiments, the mounting part 18 is provided with a guide part 181 extending in the first direction X, and the moving member 33 cooperates with the guide part 181. The guide part 181 can cooperate with the side wall of the moving member 33, and the guide part 181 is used to guide the moving member 33 to move in the first direction X or the second direction Y, so that the movement of the cover 31 relative to the loading member 10 is more stable.

[0071] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 In other embodiments, the side wall of the mounting groove 15 extending in the first direction X forms a guide part 151, and the body part 311 cooperates with the guide part 151. The guide part 151 is used to guide the body part 311 to move in the first direction X or the second direction Y, so that the movement of the cover 31 relative to the loading member 10 is more stable.

[0072] In still other embodiments, the mounting part 18 is provided with a guide part 181 extending in the first direction X, and the moving member 33 cooperates with the guide part 181; the side wall of the mounting groove 15 extending in the first direction X forms a guide part 151, and the body part 311 cooperates with the guide part 151. At this time, the movement of the cover assembly 30 in the first direction X and the second direction Y is more stable, and problems such as shaking of the cover assembly 30 during movement can be avoided.

[0073] Referring to ​ In some embodiments, the charging device 100 further comprises a shell 70, the loading member 10 is at least partially accommodated in the shell 70, and at least part of the bottom wall and at least part of the side wall of the shell 70 protrude in the first direction X compared with the loading member 10; and the part of the cover 31 covering the opening 111 and at least part of the bottom wall of the shell 70 are respectively used to limit the opposite two ends of the aerosol generating device 300.

[0074] When the cover 31 covers at least part of the opening 111 of the accommodating cavity, the cover 31 can limit one end of the aerosol generating device 300, and at least part of the bottom wall of the housing 70 can limit the other end of the aerosol generating device 300, so that the aerosol generating device 300 can be stably positioned in the accommodating groove 11 and is not easily detached from the accommodating groove 11.

[0075] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined in any manner. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described, but it should be considered that any combination of the technical features is within the scope of the present disclosure as long as the combination does not result in contradictions.
