[0036] The present application provides an adjustable positioning device based on the technical problem of cost increase caused by the variety of placement fixtures required for testing different types of aerosol generating devices at different angles. The adjustable positioning device includes a turntable and a positioning clamp. The turntable is used to place the aerosol generating device for testing. The positioning clamp is damped and rotatably arranged on the turntable, so that the positioning clamp can rotate relative to the turntable and be kept at any desired angle. The positioning clamp can be adjusted to any desired angle required for testing the aerosol generating device and kept at the angle to meet the testing requirements of different aerosol generating devices at different angles. The use of the adjustable positioning device can meet the testing requirements of different aerosol generating devices at different angles, and the production investment of multiple angle placement fixtures can be saved, effectively reducing the use cost. For specific details, please refer to the following embodiments.
[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2In one embodiment of the present application, an adjustable positioning device 10 is provided for testing of an aerosol generating device. The adjustable positioning device 10 can be installed in a testing machine so that the aerosol generating device can be directly clamped to the adjustable positioning device 10 for simulation testing. The adjustable positioning device 10 includes a turntable 11 for placing the aerosol generating device for testing, and a positioning clamp 12 that is rotatably arranged on the turntable 11. The positioning clamp 12 can be rotated relative to the turntable 11 and held at any desired angle, i.e., a preset angle (usually selected between 0°-180°), so that the positioning clamp 12 can be adjusted to any desired inclination angle for testing of the aerosol generating device and held at the inclination angle to meet the testing requirements of different aerosol generating devices at different inclination angles. The use of the adjustable positioning device 10 can meet the testing requirements of different aerosol generating devices at different inclination angles, and can save the investment in the production of various angle placement tooling, effectively reducing the use cost. In addition, after the adjustable positioning device 10 is adjusted to the desired inclination angle, the positioning clamp 12 is held at the inclination angle and does not move, which facilitates continuous testing of the same specification aerosol generating device, ensures the consistency of the testing conditions and the accuracy of the test results, and simplifies the overall structure of the adjustable positioning device 10, facilitates use, and effectively reduces the manufacturing cost. The rotation shaft 13 between the positioning clamp 12 and the turntable 11 can be a damping rotation shaft that connects the positioning clamp 12 and the turntable 11. The damping rotation shaft has a friction damping effect between the relatively rotating positioning clamp 12 and the turntable 11, so that the positioning clamp 12 can be rotated to any angle relative to the turntable 11, and the aerosol generating device on the positioning clamp 12 can be placed at different inclination angles for simulation testing. During testing of the aerosol generating device, an air inlet pipe is sleeved on the suction nozzle of the aerosol generating device, and then the testing machine of the aerosol generating device is started. Since the adjustable positioning clamp 12 can adjust the inclination angle of the aerosol generating device, the actual smoking condition of the aerosol generating device can be effectively simulated. The positioning clamp 12 has a clamping space that clamps and accommodates at least part of the aerosol generating device to achieve stability of the aerosol generating device during testing.
[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4Further, the adjustable positioning device 10 further comprises a protractor 14 and a pointer 15. The protractor 14 has a center point 141 and an angle scale extending straight outward from the center point 141. The protractor 14 is installed on the turntable 11, and the center point 141 of the protractor 14 is located at the rotation axis 13 of the positioning clamp 12 and the turntable 11, that is, the center point 141 of the protractor 14 is approximately coincident with the rotation axis of the positioning clamp 12, or the center point 141 of the protractor 14 and the rotation axis of the positioning clamp 12 are kept at a small installation interval to improve the accuracy of the measurement of the inclination angle of the positioning clamp 12 relative to the turntable 11; the positioning clamp 12 can rotate relative to the turntable 11 with the center point 141 of the protractor 14 as the center. The pointer 15 is fixedly installed on the positioning clamp 12, and the pointer 15 is rotationally arranged at the center point 141 of the protractor 14. The pointer 15 can rotate around the center point 141 of the protractor 14, so that the pointer 15 can rotate with the positioning clamp 12. During the rotation of the pointer 15, the pointer 15 marks the angle scale of the protractor 14 to show the angle value of the positioning clamp 12 relative to the turntable 11, that is, the angle value of the aerosol generating device relative to the turntable 11, which provides a reliable reference for the tester to accurately adjust the placement inclination angle of the aerosol generating device, so that the tester can accurately adjust the placement inclination angle of the aerosol generating device. A straight convex or concave groove connected to the center point 141 of the protractor 14 can be arranged on the pointer 15 as an indication part. When the pointer 15 is installed on the positioning clamp 12, the indication part is kept parallel to the aerosol generating device on the placement plane 1211 of the positioning clamp 12, and then the indication part can accurately indicate the inclination angle of the positioning clamp 12 relative to the turntable 11, so that the tester can accurately adjust the placement inclination angle of the aerosol generating device.
[0039] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3, further, the positioning clamp 12 comprises a rotating plate 121 and an elastic clamping jaw 122; the rotating plate 121 is damped rotationally arranged on the swing table 11, so that the rotating plate 121 can be adjusted to the required inclination angle required by the aerosol generating device test and kept; the elastic clamping jaw 122 is arranged around the rotating plate 121 to form a clamping space for clamping and fixing the aerosol generating device, the elastic clamping jaw 122 is connected to the rotating plate 121, and the elastic clamping jaw 122 is elastically stretched and contracted relative to the rotating plate 121 to adjust the size of the clamping space, that is, to adjust the clamping distance to the outer periphery of the aerosol generating device, so that the elastic clamping jaw 122 can elastically clamp and fix aerosol generating devices of different sizes, so that the aerosol generating device can be firmly fixed on the adjustable positioning device 10 for testing, preventing damage caused by sliding during testing, and improving the adaptability of the adjustable positioning device 10 to aerosol generating devices of different sizes, and the versatility is strong. The elastic clamping jaw 122 is elastically stretched and contracted relative to the rotating plate 121, specifically, the elastic clamping jaw 122 is movably inserted on the rotating plate 121, and is connected to the rotating plate 121 through an elastic member. The elastic member can be connected to the end of the elastic clamping jaw 122, and provides elastic resistance when the elastic clamping jaw 122 moves relative to the rotating plate 121. This elastic resistance can transmit the aerosol generating device, so that the elastic clamping jaw 122 clamps the aerosol generating device; or the elastic clamping jaw 122 is made of elastic material and has elastic recovery function to clamp and fix the aerosol generating device.
[0040] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 In yet another embodiment, the rotating plate 121 is used to abut against the outer periphery of the aerosol generating device, which can be the inclined placement plane 1211 of the rotating plate 121 abutting against the outer periphery of the aerosol generating device to limit one side of the outer periphery of the aerosol generating device; the rotating plate 121 is provided with a support portion 1212 protruding therefrom, which is used to abut against the bottom end of the aerosol generating device to limit the bottom end of the aerosol generating device; through the rotating plate 121 and the support portion 1212 provided on the rotating plate 121, the aerosol generating device can be stably placed on the positioning clamp 12 and will not easily slide off, which is convenient to use.

The support platform 112 is used to support and install the positioning clamp 12, and the lifting assembly 111 is used to drive the support platform 112 to realize height lifting, so that the height of the positioning clamp 12 installed on the support platform 112 is adjustable, and then the height of the positioning clamp 12 placed on the aerosol generating device can be adapted to the testing machine.
[0042] Please continue to refer to Figure 1、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 The lifting assembly 111 comprises a lifting column 1111, a fixing cylinder 1112 and a positioning pin 1113. The support platform 112 is arranged at the top end of the lifting column 1111. The fixing cylinder 1112 is sleeved at the bottom end of the lifting column 1111 and is threadedly connected with the lifting column 1111, i.e., the fixing cylinder 1112 is internally threaded and the lifting column 1111 is externally threaded. Since the bottom end of the lifting column 1111 is threadedly connected with the fixing cylinder 1112 and the top end of the lifting column 1111 is fixed with the support platform 112, the height of the support platform 112 can be adjusted by rotating the lifting column 1111. The positioning pin 1113 has a limiting effect on the rotation of the lifting column 1111 relative to the fixing cylinder 1112. The side wall of the fixing cylinder 1112 is provided with a mounting hole, at least part of the positioning pin 1113 is arranged in the mounting hole of the fixing cylinder 1112, and the top end of the positioning pin 1113 abuts against the outer periphery of the lifting column 1111 to limit the rotation of the lifting column 1111, thereby ensuring the stability of the position of the lifting column 1111 after height adjustment. In use, the positioning pin 1113 can be removed from the fixing cylinder 1112 when the height of the support platform 112 is adjusted, and the positioning pin 1113 can be inserted into the fixing cylinder 1112 when the height of the support platform 112 is adjusted, thereby facilitating use.
