[0045] The embodiments of the present application provide a light assembly 10 and an aerosol generating device 100, wherein the aerosol generating device 100 is a device for generating aerosol, including but not limited to a heating element, a power supply assembly, a control unit, an air flow channel and the like, and the device has a liquid storage device for storing a certain aerosol forming substrate. The heating element is the core component of the aerosol generating device 100, which can generate heat through the principle of electric resistance heating under the condition that the power supply assembly provides electric energy, and act on the aerosol forming substrate to generate aerosol; the power supply assembly is used to provide electric energy to the heating element, which can be a built-in rechargeable battery (such as a lithium battery, etc.), or can be connected to an external power source through an external power source interface to obtain electric energy. The power supply assembly usually also includes some circuit protection devices, such as overcurrent protection, overvoltage protection, etc., to ensure that the aerosol generating device 100 works within a safe voltage and current range; the control unit is the part that controls the whole aerosol generating device 100, which can be a switching circuit or a control system containing a microprocessor, used to control the switching, heating time and heating temperature of the heating element; the air flow channel is used to guide the flow of air, one end of which is connected to the outside environment, and the other end is connected to the suction nozzle for the user to inhale. When the aerosol generating device 100 works, air flows into the inside of the aerosol generating device 100 through the air flow channel, and carries the heated aerosol to the suction nozzle during the flow process, so that the user can inhale.
[0046] The liquid storage device can be installed inside the aerosol generating device and arranged close to the suction nozzle. The aerosol generating device stored in the liquid storage device can be transported to the heating element through the liquid guide component with transport function.
[0047] The above-mentioned liquid guide component can be a porous material support for transporting the aerosol forming substrate. The remaining heating element, power supply assembly, control unit and air flow channel can refer to the existing structure in the related art, which will not be described in detail in the present application.
[0048] At present, the aerosol generating device 100 on the market has many different forms, and the following takes a rod-shaped aerosol generating device 100 as an example (Pod system aerosol generating device). This kind of aerosol generating device 100 generally includes an aerosol generating host 20 and a liquid storage device, wherein the liquid storage device can be installed inside the aerosol generating device 100 and arranged close to the suction nozzle. The aerosol generating device 100 stored in the liquid storage device can be transported to the heating element through the liquid guide component with transport function. The aerosol generating host 20 can be connected to the liquid storage device through magnetic attraction, clamping and the like, to facilitate the user to replace the liquid storage device by himself. The aerosol generating host 20 is a rod-shaped structure, which is relatively small in size, so it does not have a light effect, which leads to poor light effect of this kind of product, and to some extent affects its aesthetic degree and recognition degree, and lacks individuality.
[0049] To solve the above problems and improve the aesthetics of the aerosol generating device 100, the embodiments of the present application provide a light assembly 10 and an aerosol generating device 100.
[0050] Figure 1 A structural schematic diagram of the light assembly 10 provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown in the figure, Figure 2 An exploded view of the light assembly 10 provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown in the figure, Figure 3 A sectional view of the light assembly 10 provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown in the figure, Figure 4 A structural schematic diagram of the upper shell 11 in the light assembly 10 provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown in the figure.
[0051] In a first aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a light assembly 10 for detachable connection with an aerosol generating host 20, please refer to Figures 1-4 .
[0052] The light assembly 10 includes a shell 1 and a light source located in the shell 1, and further includes a first connecting member 2. Under the action of the first connecting member 2, the shell 1 of the light assembly 10 can be detachably connected with the aerosol generating host 20. At least part of the surface of the shell 1 has a light transmission area 103, and the light emitted by the light source located in the shell 1 can be transmitted to the outside of the shell 1 through the light transmission area 103, so as to improve the overall aesthetics of the aerosol generating device 100 and give it a certain light effect.
[0053] Specifically, the shell 1 of the light assembly 10 can be detachably connected with the aerosol generating host 20 through the first connecting member 2.
[0054] It should be noted that the light assembly 10 can be detachably connected with the aerosol generating host 20 by at least one of magnetic attraction, threaded connection, and clamping.
[0055] For example, the light assembly 10 is detachably connected with the aerosol generating host 20 by magnetic attraction, and at this time the first connecting member 2 is a first magnetic member, and the aerosol generating host 20 for detachable connection with the light assembly 10 has a second magnetic member which can be magnetically connected with the first magnetic member.
[0056] At least one of the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member has a magnetic attraction force. For example, the first magnetic member is a magnet with a magnetic force, and the second magnetic member can be a magnet with a matching magnetic pole direction, or an iron material that can be attracted by a magnet, etc. At this time, under the action of the magnetic attraction force formed between the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member, the light assembly 10 is connected with the aerosol generating host 20.
[0057] The number and size of the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member can be adjusted as needed.
[0058] In arranging the first connecting member 2, the first connecting member 2 can be located on the side surface of the light assembly 10 facing the aerosol generating host 20, or inside the housing 1; similarly, the second connecting member 201 can be located on the side surface of the aerosol generating host 20 facing the light assembly 10, or inside the aerosol generating host 20.
[0059] In other similar embodiments, the light assembly 10 can also be detachably connected to the aerosol generating host 20 through threaded connection, in which case the first connecting member 2 can be a first thread provided on the side of the housing 1 facing the aerosol generating host 20, and the aerosol generating host 20 to be detachably connected to the light assembly 10 has a second thread that cooperates with the first thread. One of the first thread and the second thread is an external thread, and the other is an internal thread. In the process of installing the light assembly 10 on the aerosol generating host 20, the position of the light assembly 10 is adjusted so that the first thread and the second thread are opposite each other, and then the light assembly 10 is rotated relative to the aerosol generating host 20 and moved towards the side close to the aerosol generating host 20 with force, so as to achieve stable connection between the two. When it is necessary to remove the light assembly 10 from the aerosol generating host 20, only an external force in the opposite direction needs to be applied.
[0060] Of course, in addition to threaded connection, the light assembly 10 can also be detachably connected to the aerosol generating host 20 through other rotating buckle structures similar to threaded structures.
[0061] In other similar embodiments, the light assembly 10 can also be detachably connected to the aerosol generating host 20 through clamping connection, in which case the first connecting member 2 can be a first clamping member provided on the side of the housing 1 facing the aerosol generating host 20, and the aerosol generating host 20 is provided with a second clamping member that cooperates with the first clamping member. One of the first clamping member and the second clamping member is a clamping protrusion, and the other is a clamping groove, and the shape of the clamping groove is adapted to the clamping protrusion. When the light assembly 10 is connected to the aerosol generating host 20, the position of the light assembly 10 can be adjusted so that the two can be clamped and connected. When it is necessary to remove the light assembly 10 from the aerosol generating host 20, only an external force needs to be applied to overcome the clamping force. The structure of the clamping protrusion and the clamping groove is not described here.
[0062] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The housing 1 of the light assembly 10 defines and forms the outer wall of the light assembly 10, and the light-transmitting area 103 on the housing 1 can allow the light emitted by the light source inside the housing 1 to be emitted outside the housing 1, so that part of the outer wall of the housing 1 is illuminated by the light emitted by the light source.
[0063] In some embodiments, the light source can be an LED (light-emitting diode), a laser, or the like. The number of light sources located in the same housing 1 can be one or multiple. When the number of light sources is multiple, the color, brightness, and flicker frequency of the light emitted by different light sources can be the same or different.
[0064] In order to further optimize the light transmission effect of the light transmission area 103 and make the color emitted through the light transmission area 103 more uniform and soft, in addition to adjusting the number and arrangement of the light sources, in some embodiments, the HIA can be made of materials with good light transmission effect, such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), and polystyrene (PS), etc. The above-mentioned materials have high transparency and can provide uniform light, so that the light emitted by the light source can form a soft surface light source without obvious light spots, which can improve the problem of glare caused by direct light of the light source and help to further optimize the display effect of the light assembly 10.
[0065] The above-mentioned materials can be prepared by injection molding or the like to form the light transmission area 103.
[0066] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The housing 1 has a first end 101 and a second end 102, wherein the first end 101 and the second end 102 are located at the two ends of the housing 1 in the length direction. When installed, the first end 101 of the housing 1 is used to connect with the aerosol generating host 20, and at this time, the second end 102 is located at the end of the housing 1 away from the aerosol generating host 20, that is, at the side of the first end 101 away from the aerosol generating host 20.
[0067] The side surface of the housing 1 used to contact the aerosol generating host 20 can be consistent with the corresponding surface form of the aerosol generating host 20, so as to ensure that the contact part of the two is connected more stably and aesthetically.
[0068] Taking the case that the housing 1 is connected with the aerosol generating host 20 through the first end 101 as an example, the end of the aerosol generating host 20 used to contact the housing 1 is defined as a connection surface. The form of the first end 101 of the housing 1 can be arranged to be consistent with the connection surface, and the form of the second end 102 is basically consistent with the connection surface.
[0069] Taking the case that the housing 1 and the aerosol generating host 20 are detachably connected by magnetic attraction as an example, at this time, the first connecting piece 2 can be arranged at the first end 101 and form part of the surface of the first end 101, or can be arranged in the housing 1:
[0070] The connecting surface can be designed as a plane, and the first end 101 also has a plane structure, which are opposite and parallel to each other, and can be detachably connected through magnetic attraction. Meanwhile, the plane design can make the two have the contact area of the adhesive tape to ensure the stability of the connection. Alternatively, one of the connecting surface and the first end 101 can be provided with a protruding bump, and the other can be provided with a recessed groove. The bump and the groove are matched in shape. Under the action of magnetic attraction, the two are embedded with each other, which not only provides accurate positioning for the connection structure and ensures the accuracy of the magnetic attraction position, but also provides additional mechanical resistance for the connection part, further enhancing the stability of the connection. Alternatively, the connecting surface and the first end 101 can both have an arc surface, and the arc surfaces of the two can be mutually attached. The arc surface can increase the contact area between the connecting surface and the first end 101 to improve the firmness of the connection, and also can improve the appearance of the product.
[0071] Referring to Figure 1 In the embodiment, the first end 101 of the shell 1 is an arc surface with an inward recess.
[0072] The light-transmitting area 103 described above can be arranged adjacent to the first end 101 of the shell 1.
[0073] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the embodiment, the light-transmitting area 103 is an annular structure arranged in a circumferential direction of the shell 1, and is arranged at the first end 101 of the shell 1. In other similar embodiments, the light-transmitting area 103 can also be adjusted to be rectangular, dot-shaped or other shapes, and the light-transmitting area 103 can also be arranged at the second end 102 of the shell 1, and between the first end 101 and the second end 102.
[0074] Of course, the shell 1 can also be entirely made of a material with high light-transmitting performance according to needs. In this case, all the outer wall surfaces of the shell 1 are light-transmitting areas 103.
[0075] In order to facilitate the installation of the light source on the shell 1, in some embodiments, the shell 1 includes an upper shell 11 and a lower shell 12 connected together, and the light source is located between the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12.
[0076] Specifically, the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12 can be fixedly connected by means of adhesion, ultrasonic welding or the like.
[0077] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12 enclose a chamber with a certain space, i.e. a containing cavity. The light source is located in the above-mentioned containing cavity. In this case, the light-transmitting area 103 can be formed in at least one of the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12.
[0078] In the embodiment, at least part of the upper shell 11 is made of a light-transmitting material, and forms the annular light-transmitting area 103 described above. Correspondingly, the lower shell 12 is made of a light-blocking material. Light emitted by the light source located in the accommodating cavity can be emitted out of the shell 1 through the annular light-transmitting area 103 provided on the upper shell 11, and a ring-shaped light-emitting surface is formed on the shell 1.
[0079] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the accommodating cavity of the light assembly 10 is further provided with a circuit board 3, and the light source is mounted on the circuit board 3. The first connecting member 2 with the magnetic attraction function is located between the upper shell 11 and the circuit board 3.
[0080] For example, the upper shell 11 is provided with a first mounting groove 113 for accommodating the first connecting member 2, referring to Figure 4 . The number of the first mounting grooves 113 is the same as that of the first connecting members 2 and is arranged one by one to facilitate the mounting and fixing of the first connecting members 2. The first mounting grooves 113 are arranged at intervals with the grooves.
[0081] Specifically, the circuit board 3 is a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) with certain data processing and control functions. Under the control of the circuit board 3, the light source mounted on the circuit board 3 can emit light under the condition of being powered on.
[0082] The light source can be arranged on the side of the circuit board 3 facing the upper shell 11, so that the light emitted by the light source can better be emitted out through the light-transmitting area 103 formed on the upper shell 11.
[0083] Specifically, the region of the upper shell 11 opposite to the light source can be provided with a groove for accommodating the light source.
[0084] Of course, the light source can also be arranged on the side of the circuit board 3 away from the upper shell 11.
[0085] In order to ensure that the light emitted by the light source can be emitted out through the light-transmitting area 103 provided on the upper shell 11, in some embodiments, the accommodating cavity can be provided with a light guide plate 4 in contact with the upper shell 11.
[0086] Specifically, the light guide plate 4 is located between the lower shell 12 and the circuit board 3, and at least part of the surface of the side of the light guide plate 4 away from the lower shell 12 is opposite to the surface of the upper shell 11.
[0087] The light emitted by the light source located between the light guide plate 4 and the circuit board 3 can be guided by the light guide plate 4 to the upper shell 11, and finally emitted out through the light-transmitting area 103 provided on the upper shell 11.
[0088] Specifically, the light guide plate 4 can be a flexible plate structure made of a silica gel material. The light guide plate 4 has a good light guide effect.
[0089] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , at least part of the surface of the light guide plate 4 close to one end of the lower shell 12 is attached to the surface of the lower shell 12, at this time the light guide plate 4 can play a certain supporting and fixing role for the circuit board 3 located between the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12, so as to avoid the circuit board 3 from shaking or displacing in the accommodating cavity.
[0090] In order to further fix the circuit board 3, the side of the upper shell 11 facing the circuit board 3 is recessed and forms a stepped limiting groove 112 for accommodating the circuit board 3, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 .
[0091] The middle part of the surface of the upper shell 11 away from the first side is recessed toward the first side direction and forms a stepped limiting groove 112. Along the thickness direction of the upper shell 11, the depth of the stepped limiting groove 112 is basically consistent with the thickness of the circuit board 3 installed with the light source, so as to ensure that the circuit board 3 will not displace in the thickness direction relative to the shell 1.
[0092] In other similar embodiments, along the thickness direction of the upper shell 11, the orthographic projection outer contour of the stepped limiting groove 112 exactly coincides with the orthographic projection outer contour of the circuit board 3, so as to avoid the relative displacement of the circuit board 3 installed in the stepped limiting groove 112 relative to the upper shell 11 as much as possible. Of course, the circuit board 3 can also be set as a circular structure that exactly matches the size of the stepped limiting groove 112.
[0093] In order to ensure that the light source installed in the shell 1 can be powered to emit light, in some embodiments, a power supply such as a button cell can be arranged in the shell 1. The power supply is electrically connected with the circuit board 3, and the light source can be lit under the action of the power provided by the power supply. In other similar embodiments, the light assembly 10 can also be provided with a power supply by the aerosol generating host 20, and lit when connected with the aerosol generating host 20.
[0094] Specifically, in order to ensure that the light assembly 10 can be electrically connected with the aerosol generating host 20, the first end 101 of the shell 1 is provided with a through hole 111, that is, the upper shell 11 is provided with a through hole 111, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 .
