[0004] Currently, opening and closing dust covers often requires a combined transmission mechanism, which is complex, space-consuming, and costly. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an aerosol generating device that reduces structural complexity, space occupation, and cost.
[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0010] A driving component is rotatably connected to the bracket. The driving component is provided with a second magnetic component. When the driving component rotates to a preset angle, the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component interact with each other, causing the blocking component to switch between the first state and the second state.
[0011] As an alternative to the aerosol generating device, the driving member has hinged portions at its opposite ends, and the bracket has two connecting portions, with the two hinged portions respectively hinged to the two connecting portions.
[0012] As an alternative to the aerosol generating device, one of the driving component and the connecting part is provided with a limiting groove, and the other is provided with a limiting protrusion. When the driving component rotates to a preset angle, the limiting protrusion is placed in the limiting groove.
[0013] As an alternative to the aerosol generating device, the driving member or the connecting part equipped with the limiting groove is further provided with a groove, the groove extending along the movement trajectory of the limiting protrusion, and the limiting protrusion sliding in the groove when the driving member rotates.
[0014] As an alternative to an aerosol generating device, the limiting protrusion is an elastic telescopic structure.
[0015] As an alternative to the aerosol generating device, the support is provided with a receiving groove, a part of the driving member is placed inside the receiving groove, and another part of the driving member protrudes outside the receiving groove.
[0016] As an alternative to the aerosol generating device, the first magnetic element is placed inside the shielding element, and the second magnetic element is placed inside the driving element.

[0030] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0034] Please see the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 2 This embodiment relates to an aerosol generating device (hereinafter referred to as "generating device"), which includes a support 1, a shielding member 2, and a driving member 3. Specifically, the support 1 has an insertion hole 11 for inserting the aerosol generated product; the shielding member 2 is slidably connected to the support 1, and has a first state with the insertion hole 11 open and a second state with the insertion hole 11 closed, and the shielding member 2 is provided with a first magnetic element 21; the driving member 3 is rotatably connected to the support 1, and the driving member 3 is provided with a second magnetic element 31. When the driving member 3 rotates to a preset angle, the first magnetic element 21 and the second magnetic element 31 interact with each other, causing the shielding member 2 to switch between the first state and the second state.
[0035] Specifically, the support 1 has a long strip structure and can be made of metal or non-metal. The specific material can be reasonably selected by considering factors such as the ease of molding, molding cost, and weight after molding. The support 1 can provide support and limit for the shielding part 2 and the driving part 3, thereby facilitating assembly. The support 1 is set inside the outer shell, which has through holes. The through holes and insertion holes 11 are positioned opposite each other. The aerosol generating product is a cylindrical structure adapted to the through holes and insertion holes 11. When using this generating device, the user can insert the aerosol generating product into the interior of the generating device through the through holes and insertion holes 11 in sequence, thereby contacting the internal heating module to generate aerosol. This generating device operates based on the principle that like poles repel and unlike poles attract. Specifically, both the first magnetic element 21 and the second magnetic element 31 are elongated strips, and their magnetic poles (i.e., N pole and S pole) are located on opposite sides of their thickness. The first magnetic element 21 is fixed to the shielding element 2, and the second magnetic element 31 is fixed to the driving element 3. When the driving element 3 rotates, it keeps the second magnetic element 31 and the first magnetic element 21 with the same pole and on the same side (i.e., the same magnetic poles are both facing upwards or both facing downwards). When the first magnetic element 21 is rotated (downward), due to the repulsion of like poles, the second magnetic element 31 exerts a repulsive force on the first magnetic element 21, causing the blocking element 2 to slide away from the driving element 3 on the bracket 1. When the driving element 3 rotates to make the second magnetic element 31 and the first magnetic element 21 have opposite poles on the same side (i.e., their magnetic poles facing upward or downward have opposite polarities), due to the attraction of opposite poles, the second magnetic element 31 provides an attractive force to the first magnetic element 21, causing the blocking element 2 to slide closer to the driving element 3 on the bracket 1. Therefore, by rotating the driving element 3, the blocking element 2 can slide back and forth on the bracket 1, thereby opening or closing the socket 11.
[0036] Those skilled in the art will understand that whether the second magnetic component 31 and the first magnetic component 21 open the socket 11 through attraction or repulsion can be adjusted by reasonably setting the relative positions of the socket 11 and the blocking component 2. As long as the rotation of the driving component 3 can smoothly drive the blocking component 2 to switch between the first and second states, that is, to completely open and close the socket 11, it is sufficient. In this embodiment, the second magnetic component 31 and the first magnetic component 21 open the socket 11 through attraction and close it through repulsion.
[0037] In practice, the blocking component 2 may have already moved while the user is rotating the driving component 3. As the driving component 3 reaches the preset angle, the blocking component 2 moves into position. In this embodiment, the preset angle is 180°, meaning that the blocking component 2 switches between opening and closing every 180 degrees, which conforms to the user's usage habits. Of course, in other embodiments, the specific value of the preset angle can be adjusted according to the magnetic strength and setting position of the second magnetic component 31 and the first magnetic component 21.
[0038] This generating device uses magnetic force and utilizes the flipping drive 3 to open and close the plug 11 of the blocking component 2. It does not require a complex combined transmission mechanism, which reduces the complexity of the structure, avoids occupying too much space, and reduces the cost of the entire generating device.
[0039] Optionally, the two opposite ends of the drive member 3 are respectively formed as hinge parts 32, and the bracket 1 is provided with two connecting parts 12, and the two hinge parts 32 are respectively hinged to the two connecting parts 12.
[0040] Specifically, the hinge portion 32 is a hinge post at both ends of the forming drive member 3, and the connecting portion 12 is a vertical plate respectively provided at both ends of the drive member 3. The vertical plate is provided with a shaft hole for hinged engagement with the hinge post, and the hinge post is rotatably connected inside the shaft hole. In another embodiment, the vertical plate can also be provided with a spherical groove, and both ends of the drive member 3 are respectively formed with a partial spherical surface, so that the spherical surface of the drive member 3 can rotate inside the spherical groove.
[0041] In this embodiment, regardless of whether a hinged connection or a spherical surface and a spherical groove are used, the overall motion structure is very simple and easy to assemble.
[0042] Please see the appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 Furthermore, one of the driving member 3 and the connecting part 12 is provided with a limiting groove 121, and the other is provided with a limiting protrusion 33. When the driving member 3 rotates to a preset angle, the limiting protrusion 33 is placed in the limiting groove 121.
[0043] In this embodiment, the limiting groove 121 is a recess formed on the connecting part 12. The two ends of the driving member 3 are respectively provided with limiting protrusions 33. The limiting protrusions 33 are hemispherical. When the driving member 3 rotates to a preset angle, the limiting protrusions 33 are placed in the limiting groove 121. The limiting groove 121 plays a certain role in restricting the movement of the limiting protrusions 33, so that the driving member 3 will not rotate and displace due to external factors such as vibration. In addition, when the user manually moves the driving member 3 to make the limiting protrusions 33 enter the limiting groove 121, it can provide the user with tactile information, so that the user can know the exact information of whether the blocking member 2 has moved into place through touch.
[0044] Of course, in other embodiments, the limiting groove 121 can also be formed on the driving member 3, and correspondingly, the limiting protrusion 33 can be formed on the connecting part 12, which can also achieve the same technical effect.
[0045] Furthermore, the drive member 3 or the connecting part 12 configured with the limiting groove 121 is also provided with a groove 122. The groove 122 extends along the movement trajectory of the limiting protrusion 33. When the drive member 3 rotates, the limiting protrusion 33 slides in the groove 122.
[0046] In this embodiment, the groove 122 is formed on the connecting portion 12. Since the limiting protrusion 33 follows a circular motion trajectory, the groove 122 is composed of arc-shaped grooves distributed on both sides of the limiting groove 121. The groove 122 provides guidance for the movement of the limiting protrusion 33 and also ensures the smoothness of the movement. Of course, the groove 122 can also be adapted to be formed on the end face of the driving member 3, while the limiting protrusion 33 is provided on the connecting portion 12.
[0047] Preferably, the limiting protrusion 33 is an elastic telescopic structure.
[0048] The limiting protrusion 33 can be integrally molded on the driving component 3 or the connecting part 12. During the assembly and connection of the driving component 3 and the connecting part 12, the connecting part 12 and the driving component 3 need to undergo a certain elastic deformation. At the same time, elastic deformation also occurs when the limiting protrusion 33 crosses the groove 122 and enters the limiting groove 121. Moreover, the elastic deformation occurs repeatedly when the driving component 3 is rotated. The frequent elastic deformation places high demands on the performance of the material. Therefore, in this embodiment, elastic components such as springs can be added to enable the limiting protrusion 33 to have elastic extension and contraction functions, thereby reducing the performance requirements of the material and ensuring the life of the overall generating device.
[0049] Optionally, the bracket 1 is provided with a receiving groove 13, a part of the driving member 3 is placed inside the receiving groove 13, and another part of the driving member 3 protrudes outside the receiving groove 13.
[0050] In this embodiment, the two opposing connecting parts 12 can be used to form the above-mentioned receiving groove 13. The driving member 3 is generally in the form of a cylindrical roller structure. Most of the structure of the driving member 3 is placed inside the receiving groove 13, and the top part of the wall protrudes outside the receiving groove 13. This can ensure that the overall generating device structure is compact, and also make it convenient for the user to manually move the driving member 3 without touching the connecting part 12, thereby improving the practicality of the generating device and the user's experience.
[0051] Optionally, the first magnetic element 21 and the second magnetic element 31 are arranged side by side.
[0052] In this embodiment, the first magnetic component 21 and the second magnetic component 31 can be of the same specifications and arranged side by side on the same horizontal plane. This side-by-side arrangement can save more space in the height direction, thereby contributing to the structural compactness of the generating device. Of course, in other embodiments, different specifications and dimensions can be used, provided that the overall structural space allows.
[0053] Optionally, the bracket 1 is provided with a limiting groove 14, and the shield 2 is slidably disposed in the limiting groove 14.
[0054] Specifically, the limiting groove 14 extends along the sliding direction of the blocking member 2. The blocking member 2 is a cuboid plate structure. The limiting groove 14 is slightly larger than the blocking member 2. The limiting groove 14 can limit and guide the blocking member 2 in the sliding direction, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the movement of the blocking member 2.
[0055] Furthermore, at least a portion of the shielding element 2 is located inside the support 1.
[0056] The shielding component 2 can be completely embedded within the limiting groove 14, so that the movement of the shielding component 2 is completely hidden inside the bracket 1. This method allows the shielding component 2 to prevent some dust or moisture from entering during its movement. Of course, the limiting groove 14 can also be configured as an open type, that is, the limiting groove 14 is a U-shaped structure with an open top. Although this structure is not conducive to dust and water prevention, it is beneficial to the assembly and maintenance of the shielding component 2. Those skilled in the art can choose according to their usage requirements.
[0057] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
