[0038] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 -attached Figure 3 The embodiment relates to an aerosol generating device (hereinafter referred to as "device"), which comprises a shell 1, a shielding piece 2, a transmission chain 3 and a driving piece 4.The top wall 11 of the shell 1 is provided with a insertion hole 111 for inserting a cigarette;The shielding piece 2 is arranged in the interior of the shell 1, one end of the transmission chain 3 is connected with the shielding piece 2;The driving piece 4 is slidably arranged on the shell 1, the other end of the transmission chain 3 is connected with the driving piece 4, and the driving piece 4 drives the shielding piece 2 to open or close the insertion hole 111 through the transmission chain 3.

[0039] Specifically, the shell 1 is a cuboid shell structure formed by a top wall 11, four outer side walls 12 connected in sequence, and a bottom wall, and the inside is a cavity for installing a heating module and the like. The shell 1 can be made of plastic or metal. The top wall 11 of the shell 1 is provided with a socket 111. The socket 111 is adapted to the cylindrical structure of a cigarette, so the socket 111 is a circular hole. The diameter of the socket 111 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the cigarette, so that the cigarette can be smoothly inserted into the socket 111. The edge of the hole of the socket 111 is chamfered or rounded, so as to further facilitate the insertion of the cigarette without scratching the cigarette, thereby avoiding affecting the taste of the user. The shielding piece 2 is movably arranged in the cavity of the shell 1, and is used to selectively open or close the socket 111. The shielding piece 2 can be a plate-shaped piece, a block-shaped piece, or even other irregular-shaped pieces, as long as it can move in the cavity of the shell 1 and completely cover and open the socket 111. The specific structure and size of the shielding piece 2 are not limited. One end of the transmission chain 3 is connected to the shielding piece 2, and the other end is connected to the driving piece 4. The driving piece 4 slides on the shell 1, and further drives the shielding piece 2 to close or open the socket 111 by using the transmission chain 3.

[0040] In the embodiment, the transmission chain 3 and the shielding piece 2 are connected in transmission. The shielding piece 2 always moves in the cavity of the shell 1. Therefore, when the user uses the device, the problem that water vapor and dust enter the shielding piece 2 to cause the shielding piece 2 to be stuck can be effectively avoided, and the service life of the device is effectively improved.

[0041] Optionally, the driving piece 4 is arranged on the outer side wall 12 of the shell 1. The driving piece 4 slides along the first direction X, and the shielding piece 2 slides along the second direction Y.

[0042] The driving piece 4 is arranged on one of the outer side walls 12 of the shell 1 and slides along the wall surface of the outer side wall 12. The shielding piece 2 slides along a plane parallel to the top wall 11. Taking the cuboid shell 1 as an example, the top wall 11 and the outer side wall 12 are perpendicular, and the first direction X and the second direction Y are also perpendicular. If the user holds the outer side wall 12 vertically, the first direction X is a vertical direction, and the second direction Y is a horizontal direction. The structure of the transmission chain 3 can adapt to the arrangement mode in which the movement directions of the driving piece 4 and the shielding piece 2 are perpendicular. Therefore, the transmission chain 3 expands the layout modes of the driving piece 4 and the shielding piece 2, and improves the compactness of the structure.

[0043] Optionally, the driving piece 4 can be arranged on the top wall 11 of the shell 1. The driving piece 4 and the shielding piece 2 both slide along the second direction Y. The driving piece 4 and the shielding piece 2 slide along a plane parallel to the top wall 11, and the transmission chain 3 also extends along the second direction Y.

[0044] Optionally, the device further comprises a bracket 5 arranged inside the housing 1, the bracket 5 comprises a first part 51 extending along the second direction Y, the cover 2 is slidably arranged on the first part 51, and the first part 51 is provided with an opening 511 opposite to the insertion hole 111, so that the cigarette inserted through the insertion hole 111 can pass through the opening 511.

[0045] In the embodiment, the bracket 5 is in the form of a frame body, which can be fixed on the inner wall of the housing 1 by clamping or bonding, and the first part 51 of the bracket 5 provides a sliding fitting part for the cover 2 to slide, so as to guide the movement of the cover 2. The first part 51 can be a sliding groove or a sliding channel to limit the sliding of the cover 2. The opening 511 is opposite to the insertion hole 111 to ensure that the bracket 5 cannot block the insertion path of the cigarette. Since the bracket 5 is arranged inside the housing 1, the inner diameter of the opening 511 is not less than the inner diameter of the insertion hole 111.

[0046] Further, the bracket 5 further comprises a second part 52 connected with the first part 51 and extending along the first direction X, and the transmission chain 3 can slide back and forth on the first part 51 and the second part 52.

[0047] In the embodiment, the first part 51 and the second part 52 are arranged at right angles, and further, the first part 51 can extend along the horizontal direction and the second part 52 can extend along the vertical direction. The transmission chain 3 can slide along the bracket 5 by the driving member 4, so as to slide the cover 2 on the first part 51. The first part 51 and the second part 52 of the bracket 5 can limit the sliding of the transmission chain 3 and the cover 2, so as to ensure the accuracy and stability of the movement. In addition, since the bracket 5 is arranged inside the housing 1, dust and water vapor cannot enter the inside of the device through the insertion hole 111, so the first part 51 and the second part 52 can always keep clean, thereby avoiding the problem of sliding jamming of the cover 2.

[0048] Optionally, the bracket 5 is provided with a limiting sliding groove 53, and the cover 2 and the transmission chain 3 slide inside the limiting sliding groove 53.

[0049] The bracket 5 is provided with a strip-shaped limiting sliding groove 53, and the inner wall of the limiting sliding groove 53 is used for sliding cooperation with the width of the cover 2 and the transmission chain 3, so that the cover 2 and the transmission chain 3 can be accurately limited in width, thereby improving the accuracy of movement.

[0050] In another implementation of the embodiment, the limiting sliding groove 53 can be directly formed on the top wall 11 and the outer side wall 12 of the shell 1. The structure and shape of the limiting sliding groove 53 should be reasonably designed according to the limiting accuracy and smooth movement of the shielding member 2 and the transmission chain 3, so that the shielding member 2 and the transmission chain 3 stably slide in the limiting sliding groove 53. The scheme of directly arranging the limiting sliding groove 53 on the shell 1 can reduce the number of parts of the entire device, thereby reducing the assembly process and improving the assembly efficiency. For example, an inner plate is formed in the interior of the shell 1, and the limiting sliding groove 53 for sliding of the shielding member 2 and the transmission chain 3 is formed by surrounding the inner wall surface of the inner plate and the outer side wall 12.

[0051] Further, the bottom wall of the limiting sliding groove 53 is provided with two opposite sliding platforms 531, and the transmission chain 3 is slidably arranged on the sliding platforms 531 at the two ends in the width direction.

[0052] The two opposite sliding platforms 531 and the wall surface of the limiting sliding groove 53 form L-shaped limiting structures, and the two opposite L-shaped limiting structures can limit the two ends of the shielding member 2 and the transmission chain 3, respectively. The sliding platform 531 can be integrally formed on the bracket 5, and the height of the sliding platform 531 needs to be set according to the thickness of the shielding member 2 and the transmission chain 3, so as to ensure that the shielding member 2 and the transmission chain 3 are always located in the interior of the limiting sliding groove 53, and avoid assembly interference caused by the thickness of the shielding member 2 and the transmission chain 3 exceeding the depth of the limiting sliding groove 53.

[0053] Optionally, the transmission chain 3 includes a plurality of connection members 31 connected in sequence, and the connection member 31 is provided with a cylindrical guide column 311 at each end in the width direction, and the guide column 311 is slidably arranged on the sliding platform 531.

[0054] In fact, the transmission chain 3 can adopt various chain structures, as long as the width of the unit-connection member 31 of the transmission chain 3 can adapt to the size of the bracket 5. For example, a standard size chain can be selected according to the specification of the transmission chain 3. In this embodiment, the connection members 31 are sequentially connected end to end, and are connected with the shielding member 2 and the driving member 4 at the starting end and the terminal end, respectively. By arranging the cylindrical guide column 311 at each end in the width direction of the connection member 31, the connection member 31 can be ensured to slide relative to the sliding platform 531 in a curved surface contact form, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the sliding. The connection between the first part 51 and the second part 52 of the sliding platform 531 is a circular arc structure, so that the cylindrical guide column 311 can smoothly pass through the connection and continue to slide. The connection member 31 is in the shape of a “J” character, and the starting end and the terminal end of the connection member 31 are connected by a hinge shaft to complete the corresponding hinge connection.

[0055] Optionally, the shielding member 2 is provided with a shielding part 21 and a sliding column 22 arranged at the two ends of the shielding part 21, the shielding part 21 is used to open or close the jack 111, and the two ends of the sliding column 22 are slidably arranged on the two opposite sliding platforms 531.

[0056] In the embodiment, the shielding part 21 on the shielding member 2 is a plate-shaped member, and the shielding part 21 is used to selectively open or close the jack 111. The width of the shielding part 21 only needs to ensure that the jack 111 can be completely covered or opened, and thus the width of the shielding part 21 can be smaller than the distance between the two sliding platforms 531, and the sliding connection can be ensured by sliding the two ends of the slide post 22 on the two opposite sliding platforms 531. The shielding part 21 and the slide post 22 can be integrally injection molded to reduce the assembly steps.

[0057] Further, the driving member 4 includes a main body part 41 located outside the shell 1 and a sliding part 42 connected with the main body part 41. The end of the sliding part 42 away from the main body part 41 is connected with the other end of the transmission chain 3. The shell 1 is provided with a guide groove 13, and the sliding part 42 is slidably arranged in the guide groove 13.

[0058] The main body part 41 is arranged outside the shell 1 to facilitate the fingers of a user to press and slide smoothly. Thus, the specific size and structure of the main body part 41 can be determined according to the specific use experience of the user. In addition, an arc-shaped surface in a concave shape for the user to press and fit can be formed on the main body part 41, and a certain wavy friction pattern can be processed on the surface of the arc-shaped surface to improve the anti-skid property and enhance the practicality and use experience of the user. The sliding part 42 is connected with the other end of the transmission chain 3 through the shell 1. The sliding part 42 can be integrally formed on one end of the main body part 41. The shell 1 is provided with a guide groove 13 extending along the first direction X, and the sliding part 42 is slidably arranged in the guide groove 13. The guide groove 13 is a rectangular long slot, and the sliding part 42 is a cuboid block structure.

[0060] The sliding member 6 is a plate-shaped member, and the sliding member 6 is slidably arranged on the sliding platform 531 of the second part 52. The connecting hole 61 matched with the sliding part 42 is formed on one side of the sliding member 6 to enable the sliding part 42 to be inserted into the connecting hole 61. The sliding member 6 is driven by the sliding part 42 to realize the sliding of the transmission chain 3. The connecting hole 61 is a rectangular hole structure matched with the sliding part 42.
