[0044] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0045] To enhance the user experience by combining heating and playability in the aerosol generating device, this embodiment provides an aerosol generating device, which is described below in conjunction with... Figures 1 to 3 The specific content of this embodiment will be described in detail.

[0046] The aerosol generating device in this embodiment includes a support 1, a fixed shaft 2, and a rotating assembly 3. The support 1 contains a heating chamber 101 with a smoke inlet, which is used to contain the aerosol-generated product. The fixed shaft 2 is mounted on the support 1 and spaced apart from the heating chamber 101. The rotating assembly 3 includes a rotating wheel 301, which is rotatably mounted on the fixed shaft 2.

[0047] In summary, the aerosol generating device provided by this invention places a heating chamber 101 with a cigarette inlet inside a support 1. The support 1 provides insulation and support for the heating chamber 101. Inserting the aerosol generating product into the heating chamber 101 through the cigarette inlet produces aerosol for the user to inhale. The rotating wheel 301 of the rotating component 3 is mounted on the fixed shaft 2 of the support 1, increasing the user's ability to manipulate the wheel 301. The parallel and spaced arrangement of the rotating component 3 and the heating chamber 101 not only avoids increasing the length of the aerosol generating device but also improves its structural compactness and optimizes the spatial layout.

[0048] Furthermore, a detection unit is provided on the bracket 1, and a detection unit is provided on the rotating component 3 corresponding to the detection unit. The detection unit is used to detect the rotation parameters of the detection unit. Specifically, the bracket 1 has an arc-shaped mounting surface 102 on the side near the rotating component 3, and the detection unit is mounted on the arc-shaped mounting surface 102.

[0049] Specifically, the unit to be detected is mounted on the rotating wheel 301. The rotating assembly 3 also includes an inner sleeve 302, in which the unit to be detected is embedded in a connection hole 3021 on the inner sleeve 302. The inner sleeve 302 is located inside and connected to the rotating wheel 301. For example, the unit to be detected is a magnet 303. The detection unit includes a detection circuit board with a Hall sensor, and the magnet 303 is used to excite the Hall sensor to generate a Hall voltage. By fixing the magnet 303, the inner sleeve 302, and the rotating wheel 301 together, the magnet 303 can rotate with the rotating wheel 301. When the user handles the rotating wheel 301, each time the magnet 303 approaches the corresponding Hall sensor, the Hall sensor generates a Hall voltage. The rotation parameters, such as the number of rotations of the rotating wheel 301, can be calculated by the detection circuit board.

[0050] Furthermore, in some application scenarios, when two Hall sensors are installed in the arc-shaped mounting surface 102 of the bracket 1, not only can the number of rotations of the wheel 301 be detected, but also the direction of rotation of the wheel 301 can be detected.

[0051] Furthermore, the rotating assembly 3 also includes a bearing 304. The fixed shaft 2 includes a first stepped portion 203 and a second stepped portion 204. An inner sleeve 302 is fitted onto the first stepped portion 203, and the bearing 304 is fitted onto the second stepped portion 204. The end of the inner sleeve 302 facing the bearing 304 abuts against the outer ring of the bearing 304. Since the bearing 304 is located above the inner sleeve 302, the inner sleeve 302 can support the bearing 304. Specifically, the inner ring of the bearing 304 is fixedly fitted onto the second stepped portion 204, and the rotating wheel 301 is fixedly fitted onto the outer ring of the bearing 304. By adding the bearing 304, the rotational friction of the rotating wheel 301 can be reduced, allowing the user to make the rotating wheel 301 rotate quickly with just one flick, increasing the number of rotations of the rotating wheel 301.

[0052] Furthermore, the fixed shaft 2 is hollow inside, and the aerosol generating device also includes a fixing cap 4. One end of the fixing cap 4 is provided with a first annular limiting part 401, and the outer wall of the fixed shaft 2 is provided with a second annular limiting part 201. The fixing cap 4 is threadedly connected to the assembly port 202 of the fixed shaft 2. The first annular limiting part 401 and the second annular limiting part 201 respectively abut against both sides of the inner ring of the bearing 304. The fixing cap 4 covers the hollow fixed shaft 2, and the distance between the first annular limiting part 401 and the second annular limiting part 201 can be adjusted by screwing the fixing cap 4 to clamp the inner ring of different types of bearings 304.

[0053] Furthermore, the aerosol generating device also includes a drive unit, which comprises a mounting housing 5 and a drive motor 6. The drive motor 6 is located within the fixed shaft 2. The mounting housing 5 is mounted on the bracket 1, and a transmission assembly is rotatably mounted within the mounting housing 5. The drive motor 6 is connected to the input end of the transmission assembly. The aerosol generating device also includes a cigarette lifter 11, one end of which is located within the heating chamber 101, and the other end of which is connected to the output end of the transmission assembly. By placing the drive motor 6 within the fixed shaft 2, the space occupied by the aerosol generating device is reduced, the structural layout is optimized, and the structural compactness is ensured. The drive motor 6 can transmit power to the cigarette lifter 11 through the transmission assembly, causing the cigarette lifter 11 to rotate. For example, when the heating method of the aerosol generating device is a center heating method, the heating element can be a heating needle fixedly connected to the cigarette lifter 11, and the cigarette can be inserted into the heating needle to generate aerosol for inhalation. After the cigarette inserted into the heating needle is heated, the drive motor 6 rotates the cigarette lifter 11. The cigarette lifter 11 simultaneously rotates the heating needle, preventing the inside of the cigarette from sticking to the outer periphery of the heating needle and causing impurities from the burned cigarette to fall into the cigarette lifter 11. This also prevents impurities from contaminating the inside of the cigarette lifter 11 or the heating needle, as these impurities might be heated simultaneously with subsequently heated cigarettes, affecting the user's smoking experience. Furthermore, the accumulation of debris inside the cigarette lifter 11 could also affect the fit between the cigarette and the heating needle.

[0054] For example, silicone plugs 13 are fitted at both the upper and lower ends of the drive motor 6 located inside the fixed shaft 2. By adding silicone plugs 13, the installation stability of the drive motor 6 inside the fixed shaft 2 can be improved, and the vibration generated by the drive motor 6 can be buffered to reduce the noise impact.

[0055] Specifically, the transmission assembly includes a driving gear 7 and a driven gear 8 that mesh with each other. Both the driving gear 7 and the driven gear 8 are rotatably mounted inside the mounting cover 5. The drive unit also includes a transmission shaft 9. A through hole 402 is provided through the fixed cap 4. One end of the transmission shaft 9 is coaxially connected to the drive motor 6, and the other end of the transmission shaft 9 passes through the through hole 402 and is coaxially connected to the driving gear 7. The driven gear 8 meshes with the cigarette lifter 11 for transmission. The drive motor 6 transmits power to the cigarette lifter 11 through the transmission shaft 9, the driving gear 7, and the driven gear 8, realizing the automated operation of the cigarette lifter 11.

[0056] Furthermore, the mounting housing 5 is provided with a smoke inlet 501, and the aerosol generating device also includes a smoke cover 10, which is detachably connected to the mounting housing 5. The smoke cover 10 is used to open or close the smoke inlet 501. When the user uses the aerosol generating device, the smoke cover 10 is opened, exposing the smoke inlet 501 on the mounting housing 5. When the user does not use the aerosol generating device, the smoke cover 10 is fastened onto the smoke inlet 501 of the mounting housing 5 to prevent dust and other foreign objects from falling into the heating chamber 101. The other end of the smoke cover 10 is provided with a connecting strap, which is fixedly connected to the protective shell of the aerosol generating device using fasteners.

[0057] For example, the cigarette cover 10 is embedded with a first magnetic element 1001, and the mounting cover 5 is embedded with a second magnetic element 502, with the second magnetic element 502 located at the cigarette insertion hole 501. The first magnetic element 1001 can be attracted to or separated from the second magnetic element 502. When the user finishes using the aerosol generating device, the cigarette cover 10 is locked to the cigarette insertion hole 501 by magnetic attraction.

[0058] Alternatively, in other application scenarios, the cigarette cover 10 and the mounting cover 5 can be interlocked to achieve the engagement of the cigarette cover 10 and the cigarette insertion hole 501.

[0059] As an optional solution for the aerosol generating device, the aerosol generating device also includes a heating control module 12. A heating element is installed inside the heating chamber 101, and both the heating element and the detection unit in the heating chamber 101 are electrically connected to the heating control module 12. The rotation of the rotor 301 can be combined with the functions of the aerosol generating device, such as starting heating or recording the number of rotations.

[0060] For example, when a detection circuit board with a Hall sensor is provided on the arc-shaped mounting surface 102, and a cigarette is inserted into the cigarette holder 11, the heating control module 12 can rotate the wheel 301 a certain number of times to activate the heating element to heat the cigarette. For example, rotating the wheel 301 30 times will activate the heating element. When a detection circuit board with two Hall sensors is provided on the arc-shaped mounting surface 102, and a cigarette is inserted into the cigarette holder 11, the heating control module 12 can rotate the wheel 301 a certain number of times in a certain direction to activate the heating element to heat the cigarette. For example, rotating the wheel 301 30 times clockwise will activate the heating element. Furthermore, when no cigarette is inserted into the cigarette holder 11, rotating the wheel 301 will not trigger the heating element to start heating.

[0061] Furthermore, the heating element can be activated with different heating power by rotating the wheel 301 a different number of times. For example, rotating the wheel 301 30 times can activate the heating element with low power heating, rotating the wheel 301 50 times can activate the heating element with medium power heating, and rotating the wheel 301 70 times can activate the heating element with high power heating.

[0062] Furthermore, when a detection circuit board with two Hall sensors is provided on the arc-shaped mounting surface 102, the heating element can be started and stopped by rotating the wheel 301 a certain number of times in the forward direction and a certain number of times in the reverse direction.
