Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of aerosol technology, and more specifically, to a charging device and an aerosol generation system. Background Technology

[0002] An aerosol generating device is a small device that uses heating technology to act on an aerosol generating matrix and generate aerosols. It mainly includes two types of devices: those for atomizing solid matrices and those for atomizing liquid matrices. In related technologies, users typically use a charging device to charge and store the aerosol generating device. Generally, the charging device can be electrically connected to the electrical connectors on the aerosol generating device via electrical connectors to achieve operational interaction between the two. However, the electrical connectors on the charging device are usually fixed. When the aerosol generating device cannot be fully installed in the charging device due to structural damage or other reasons, the electrical connectors of the charging device and the aerosol generating device cannot be effectively connected, thus affecting the normal interaction between the aerosol generating device and the charging device. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a charging device and an aerosol generation system to solve at least one of the aforementioned technical problems.

[0004] The charging device according to this application includes a body and a charging module.

[0006] In some embodiments, the charging module further includes an elastic element disposed between the base and the body, which generates elastic force when the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector are electrically connected.

[0007] In some embodiments, when the aerosol generating device is inserted into the receiving cavity, the base moves along the mating direction, the elastic element is in a stretched state, and the mating direction is opposite to the insertion direction of the aerosol generating device.

[0008] In some embodiments, the body has a movable cavity spaced apart from the receiving cavity, at least a portion of the charging module is movably disposed in the movable cavity, and the base includes a mating portion; in the insertion direction, the movable cavity sequentially includes a first side and a second side, and when the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector are not electrically connected, the elastic member is used to keep the mating portion engaged with the second side of the movable cavity.

[0009] In some embodiments, the aerosol generating device is provided with a magnetic element, and the base is provided with a magnetic component. The magnetic element and the magnetic component cooperate to maintain the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector electrically connected to each other.

[0010] In some embodiments, when the aerosol generating device is inserted into the accommodating cavity and located in a fixed position within the accommodating cavity, the magnetic element applies a magnetic attraction force to the magnetic component to move the base along a mating direction opposite to the insertion direction of the aerosol generating device. In the fixed position, the aerosol generating device is loaded into place within the accommodating cavity.

[0011] In some embodiments, when the aerosol generating device is inserted into the receiving cavity and the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector are in contact, the base moves along the insertion direction of the aerosol generating device, and the elastic member is in a compressed state.

[0012] In some embodiments, the body has a movable cavity spaced apart from the receiving cavity, at least a portion of the charging module is movably disposed in the movable cavity, and the base includes a mating portion; in the insertion direction, the movable cavity sequentially includes a first side and a second side, and when the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector are not electrically connected, the elastic member is used to keep the mating portion engaged with the first side of the movable cavity.

[0013] In some embodiments, the aerosol generating device is provided with a magnetic element, and the main body is provided with a magnetic unit. The magnetic element and the magnetic unit cooperate to move the aerosol generating device toward a fixed position in the accommodating cavity.

[0016] In the charging device and aerosol generation system of this application embodiment, when the aerosol generation device is inserted into the receiving cavity, the second electrical connector moves relative to the main body along with the base, so that the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector are electrically connected to each other. Thus, compared to the second electrical connector being fixedly installed on the main body, when the aerosol generation device cannot be fully loaded into the charging device, the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector can also achieve good electrical contact, thereby ensuring normal interaction between the aerosol generation device and the charging device.

[0034] In related technologies, users typically utilize charging devices to charge and store aerosol generating devices. Generally, the charging device can be electrically connected to the electrical connectors on the aerosol generating device via electrical connectors to enable their operational interaction. However, the electrical connectors on the charging device are usually fixed. When the aerosol generating device cannot be fully installed in the charging device due to structural damage or other reasons, the electrical connectors of the charging device and the aerosol generating device cannot effectively connect, thus affecting the normal interaction between the aerosol generating device and the charging device. To resolve this issue, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 This application provides a charging device 100 and an aerosol generation system 1000.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 The aerosol generation system 1000 of this application includes an aerosol generation device 200 and a charging device 100. The aerosol generation device 200 is detachably housed in the charging device 100.

[0036] The aerosol generating device 200 is a structure in the aerosol generating system 1000 capable of generating aerosols by heating an aerosol generating matrix. Specifically, the aerosol generating matrix is ​​a processed product that can generate aerosols after being heated. The aerosol generating matrix can be in liquid, fully solid, or semi-solid form. For example, when the aerosol generating matrix is ​​fully solid, it can be in sheet or columnar form. The aerosol generating matrix can be prepared using processes such as rolling, slurry preparation, die casting, or extrusion. The aerosol can be visible or invisible and may include vapor (e.g., fine particulate matter in a gaseous state, which is typically liquid or solid at room temperature) as well as liquid droplets of gas and condensed vapor.

[0037] In some embodiments, the aerosol generating device 200 may include a heating component and a battery, with the heating component electrically connected to the battery. The heating component is used to load the aerosol generating matrix, and the battery is used to power the heating component, enabling it to heat the aerosol generating matrix to generate an aerosol for the user to inhale. The battery is a rechargeable battery. The heating method used by the heating component to heat the aerosol generating matrix may include, but is not limited to, resistance heating, electromagnetic heating, infrared heating, microwave heating, and laser irradiation heating.

[0038] The charging device 100 is a structure in the aerosol generation system 1000 capable of charging at least the aerosol generation device 200. For example, when the aerosol generation device 200 has insufficient power, a user can place the aerosol generation device 200 in the charging device 100. In this case, the aerosol generation device 200 is housed in the charging device 100, and the charging device 100 is electrically connected to the aerosol generation device 200, thereby enabling the charging device 100 to charge the aerosol generation device 200. In some embodiments of this application, the charging device 100 may include a power supply unit 50, which, when the charging device 100 is electrically connected to the aerosol generation device 200, can charge the battery of the aerosol generation device 200. It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the power supply unit 50 is a rechargeable battery.

[0039] Since the aerosol generation system 1000 in this embodiment includes a charging device 100, it is understood that the aerosol generation system 1000 has at least the same beneficial effects as the charging device 100. Therefore, for the beneficial effects of the aerosol generation system 1000, please refer to the beneficial effects of the charging device 100 described below.

[0040] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The charging device 100 according to this application includes a body 10 and a charging module 30. The body 10 has a receiving cavity 11 for accommodating an aerosol generating device 200, and the aerosol generating device 200 has a first electrical connector 210. The charging module 30 includes a base 31 and a second electrical connector 33. The base 31 is movably disposed on the body 10, and the second electrical connector 33 is connected to the base 31 and exposed in the receiving cavity 11. When the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11, the second electrical connector 33 moves synchronously with the base 31 to electrically connect the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33. The aerosol generating device 200 is detachably housed in the receiving cavity 11.

[0041] It is understood that the main body 10 is a component in the charging device 100 capable of housing other components besides the main body 10. Components other than the main body 10, as used herein, include, but are not limited to, the charging module 30 and the power supply unit 50. The material of the main body 10 includes, but is not limited to, plastic, aluminum alloy, copper, iron, steel, and carbon fiber composite materials. For example, the main body 10 is made of plastic, which makes the main body 10 lighter, thereby contributing to the portability of the charging device 100.

[0042] In some embodiments, the shape of the accommodating cavity 11 is approximately the same as the shape of the aerosol generating device 200. This can improve the fit of the accommodating cavity 11 to the aerosol generating device 200, reduce the movement or shaking of the aerosol generating device 200 in the accommodating cavity 11, and improve the stability of the aerosol generating device 200 stored in the charging device 100. On the other hand, compared to the different shapes of the accommodating cavity 11 and the aerosol generating device 200, there is less unused space in the accommodating cavity 11, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the charging device 100. For example, when the aerosol generating device 200 is generally cylindrical, the receiving cavity 11 can also be cylindrical, and the cross-sectional dimensions of the aerosol generating device 200 cut by a plane perpendicular to the insertion direction X are approximately the same as the cross-sectional dimensions of the receiving cavity 11 cut by a plane perpendicular to the insertion direction X. Therefore, when the aerosol generating device 200 is subjected to force, it can rotate arbitrarily within the receiving cavity 11 about the central axis of the receiving cavity 11. That is, when the aerosol generating device 200 is subjected to force, it can rotate within the receiving cavity 11.

[0043] In other embodiments, the shape of the accommodating cavity 11 differs from that of the aerosol generating device 200, and the minimum size of the accommodating cavity 11 is greater than the maximum size of the aerosol generating device 200 in the direction perpendicular to the insertion direction X. For example, when the cross-section of the accommodating cavity 11 cut by a plane perpendicular to the insertion direction X is square, and the cross-section of the aerosol generating device 200 cut by a plane perpendicular to the insertion direction X is circular, the side length of the square is greater than the diameter of the circle. This ensures that the aerosol generating device 200 can be smoothly inserted into the accommodating cavity 11 without interfering with the sidewalls of the accommodating cavity 11 during insertion, thus guaranteeing the normal operation of the charging device 100. Furthermore, when the aerosol generating device 200 is subjected to force, it can rotate freely within the accommodating cavity 11 about the central axis of the accommodating cavity 11.

[0044] The charging module 30 is a component of the charging device 100 that is movable relative to the body 10 and electrically connected to the aerosol generating device 200. The charging module 30 includes a base 31 and a second electrical connector 33. The base 31 is a structural component of the charging module 30 capable of mounting elements other than the base 31 (e.g., the second electrical connector 33); the second electrical connector 33 is a structural component of the charging device 100 capable of electrically connecting to the aerosol generating device 200. In some embodiments of this application, the first electrical connector 210 is a structure in the aerosol generating device 200 capable of electrically connecting to the charging device 100. When the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11, the second electrical connector 33 moves relative to the body 10 along with the base 31, so that the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 are electrically connected to each other, thereby enabling operational interaction between the aerosol generating device 200 and the charging device 100. This operational interaction includes, but is not limited to, power transmission, data transmission, and status detection. For example, the second electrical connector 33 can be electrically connected to the power supply unit 50, and the first electrical connector 210 can be electrically connected to the battery. Thus, when the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 are electrically connected, the charging device 100 can charge the aerosol generating device 200. That is, the electrical energy of the power supply unit 50 can be transferred to the battery sequentially through the second electrical connector 33 and the first electrical connector 210, thereby realizing the charging of the aerosol generating device 200.

[0045] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the movement of the base 31 relative to the body 10 can be translational, rotational, or a combination of both (including a combination of translation and rotation). This document will use translational movement of the base 31 relative to the body 10 as an example. That is, when the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11, the base 31 can drive the second electrical connector 33 to move relative to the body 10, so that the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 are electrically connected to each other. For example, the charging device 100 may be provided with a button and a transmission assembly. The transmission assembly is connected to the base 31. When the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11, the button is triggered, and the transmission assembly can apply a force to the base 31, causing the base 31 to move relative to the body 10.

[0046] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the second electrical connector 33 is electrically connected to the power supply unit 50 via a conductive element 70, which enables the power supply unit 50 to transmit electrical energy to the second electrical connector 33. The base 31 includes a first sub-part 313 and a second sub-part 315 that are connected to each other. The second electrical connector 33 is mounted on the first sub-part 313, and the first sub-part 313 and the second sub-part 315 together form a through hole. The through hole allows the conductive element 70 to extend into the base 31 and be electrically connected to the second electrical connector 33. In one example, the first sub-part 313 and the second sub-part 315 are an integral structure, that is, the first sub-part 313 and the second sub-part 315 are formed as a single integral structure using a one-piece molding method. This improves the bonding strength between the first sub-part 313 and the second sub-part 315, ensuring the stability and reliability of the charging module 30's operation. In another example, the first sub-part 313 and the second sub-part 315 are separate structures, that is, the first sub-part 313 and the second sub-part 315 are two different structures, which facilitates the installation of the second electrical connector 33 on the base 31 and improves assembly efficiency.

[0047] In some embodiments, the second electrical connector 33 and the base 31 may be joined together in a detachable manner, which facilitates the removal of the second electrical connector 33 from the base 31 for maintenance or replacement. The detachable connection method includes, but is not limited to, threaded connections or snap-fit ​​connections. In other embodiments, the second electrical connector 33 and the base 31 may be joined together in a non-detachable manner, which increases the bonding strength between the second electrical connector 33 and the base 31, reduces the possibility of the second electrical connector 33 detaching from the base 31, and ensures the stability of the operational interaction between the charging device 100 and the aerosol generating device 200. The non-detachable connection method includes, but is not limited to, bonding or welding.

[0048] In some embodiments, the second electrical connector 33 cannot undergo elastic deformation. That is, during the use of the charging device 100, the second electrical connector 33 can maintain a fixed shape and size without any deformation. Therefore, compared to an elastic electrode, the second electrical connector 33 cannot undergo elastic deformation, which can prevent deformation, displacement, or damage of the second electrical connector 33 under impact force when the charging device 100 is collided or dropped. This can extend the service life of the second electrical connector 33 and improve the stability and reliability of the charging device 100. In addition, in this application, the second electrical connector 33 is disposed on the base 31, and when the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11, the second electrical connector 33 moves synchronously with the base 31. That is, the second electrical connector 33 does not move independently of the base 31 so that the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 are electrically connected to each other. Therefore, when the charging device 100 is collided or dropped, the impact force will not be directly transmitted to the second electrical connector 33, thereby further reducing the possibility of deformation, displacement or damage to the second electrical connector 33.

[0049] In the charging device 100 and aerosol generation system 1000 of this application embodiment, when the aerosol generation device 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11, the second electrical connector 33 moves relative to the body 10 along with the base 31, so that the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 are electrically connected to each other. Therefore, compared with the second electrical connector 33 being fixedly installed on the body 10, when the aerosol generation device 200 cannot be fully loaded into the charging device 100 due to the presence of foreign objects in the receiving cavity 11 or structural damage to the charging device 100, the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 can also achieve good electrical contact, thereby ensuring normal interaction between the aerosol generation device 200 and the charging device 100 and improving the user experience.

[0050] The charging device 100 will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0051] Please see Figures 2 to 4 The first aspect of this application provides a charging device 100.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The charging module 30 in the first aspect embodiment also includes an elastic element 35, which is disposed between the base 31 and the body 10. When the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 are electrically connected, the elastic element 35 generates elastic force.

[0053] Specifically, in some embodiments, one end of the elastic member 35 is connected to the base 31, and the other end is connected to the body 10. When the base 31 moves relative to the body 10 to electrically connect the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33, the elastic member 35 can deform and generate elastic force. The elastic member 35 serves two purposes: firstly, it provides a connection and fixation function, preventing the base 31 from moving or shaking relative to the body 10 when the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 are not electrically connected, thus ensuring the structural stability of the charging device 100; secondly, when the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 separate, the elastic force can reset the base 31 to its initial position, ensuring the next electrical connection of the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33.

[0054] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the aerosol generating device 200 is provided with a magnetic element 230, and the base 31 is provided with a magnetic element 37. The magnetic element 230 and the magnetic element 37 cooperate to maintain the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 electrically connected to each other.

[0055] Magnetic component 37 is a structure in the charging module 30 that can attract other components through its own magnetic field; magnetic component 230 is a structure in the aerosol generating device 200 that can attract other components through its own magnetic field. For example, both magnetic component 37 and magnetic component 230 are permanent magnets. Magnetic component 37 can be in a regular or irregular shape, such as a cuboid or cylinder, and can be mounted on the base 31 using either a detachable or non-detachable connection method. Magnetic component 230 can also be in a regular or irregular shape, such as a cuboid or cylinder, and can be mounted on the aerosol generating device 200 using either a detachable or non-detachable connection method. Detachable connection methods include, but are not limited to, threaded connections or snap-fit ​​connections; non-detachable connection methods include, but are not limited to, bonding or welding.

[0056] Specifically, in some embodiments, when the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11 and the magnetic element 37 is within the magnetic field range of the magnetic element 230, the opposite magnetic poles of the magnetic element 37 and the magnetic element 230 cooperate with each other, thereby causing the magnetic element 37 to drive the base 31 to move relative to the body 10, so as to maintain the electrical connection between the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33. This improves the stability of the aerosol generating device 200 stored in the charging device 100; and ensures that the first electrical connector 210 of the aerosol generating device 200 and the second electrical connector 33 of the charging device 100 maintain good electrical contact at all times, thus improving the stability of the working interaction between the aerosol generating device 200 and the charging device 100.

[0057] In some embodiments, when the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11 and is in a fixed position in the receiving cavity 11, the magnetic element 230 applies a magnetic attraction force to the magnetic element 37 to move the base 31 along the mating direction Y, which is opposite to the insertion direction X of the aerosol generating device 200. In the fixed position, the aerosol generating device 200 is loaded into the receiving cavity 11.

[0058] Specifically, in some embodiments, when the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the accommodating cavity 11 and positioned in a fixed position within the accommodating cavity 11, the magnetic element 37 is located within the magnetic field range of the magnetic element 230. The opposite magnetic poles of the magnetic element 37 and the magnetic element 230 cooperate with each other; for example, the N pole of the magnetic element 37 cooperates with the S pole of the magnetic element 230; or, the S pole of the magnetic element 37 cooperates with the N pole of the magnetic element 230. Thus, the magnetic element 230 can apply a magnetic attraction force to the magnetic element 37, causing the magnetic element 37 to drive the base 31 to move relative to the body 10, thereby achieving electrical connection between the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33. Furthermore, the magnetic element 230 can also be held in a fixed position under the magnetic attraction force of the magnetic element 37. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the fixed position of the accommodating cavity 11 can be the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 11. That is, when the aerosol generating device 200 is in a fixed position in the accommodating cavity 11, the aerosol generating device 200 is in contact with the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 11.

[0059] In other embodiments, the magnetic component 37 may be an electromagnet, and the magnetic element 230 may be a permanent magnet. When the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the accommodating cavity 11, the magnetic component 37 is energized to engage with the magnetic element 230, causing the magnetic component 37 to move the base 31 relative to the body 10, thereby maintaining the electrical connection between the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33.

[0060] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the charging device 100 may also include a position detection element disposed on the body 10 and used to detect whether the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11. When the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11, the position detection element may output a detection signal to the circuit board of the charging device 100, and the circuit board controls the magnetic element 37 to be energized based on the detection signal.

[0061] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, when the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11, the base 31 moves along the mating direction Y, and the elastic element 35 is in a stretched state. The mating direction Y is opposite to the insertion direction X of the aerosol generating device 200. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the elastic element 35 may be a tension spring.

[0062] Specifically, in some embodiments, when the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11, the magnetic element 230 can generate a magnetic attraction force on the magnetic element 37, causing the magnetic element 37 to drive the base 31 to move along the mating direction Y, and the elastic element 35 is stretched. That is, during the movement of the base 31 relative to the body 10, the base 31 needs to overcome the elastic force of the elastic element 35 to move. Thus, the elastic element 35 can play a role in buffering and shock absorption, avoiding excessive impact when the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 are electrically connected, which could damage the first electrical connector 210 or the second electrical connector 33. This can extend the service life of the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33, and ensure the normal operation of the charging device 100 and the aerosol generating device 200.

[0063] It is understood that in other embodiments, when the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11, the base 31 moves along the mating direction Y, and the elastic member 35 is in a compressed state. The mating direction Y is opposite to the insertion direction X of the aerosol generating device 200. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the elastic member 35 is a compression spring. In the first aspect embodiment, only the example of the base 31 moving along the mating direction Y and the elastic member 35 being in a stretched state when the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11 will be described.

[0064] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the body 10 has a movable cavity 13 spaced from the receiving cavity 11, and at least a portion of the charging module 30 is movably disposed in the movable cavity 13. The base 31 includes a mating portion 311. In the insertion direction X, the movable cavity 13 sequentially includes a first side 131 and a second side 133. When the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 are not electrically connected, the elastic member 35 is used to keep the mating portion 311 engaged with the second side 133 of the movable cavity 13.

[0065] Specifically, in some embodiments, when the aerosol generating device 200 is not inserted into the receiving cavity 11; or when the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11 but the magnetic element 230 does not apply magnetic attraction to the magnetic element 37, the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 are not electrically connected, and the elastic element 35 is used to keep the mating part 311 in contact with the second side 133 of the movable cavity 13, thereby preventing the base 31 from moving or shaking randomly in the movable cavity 13 and improving the structural stability of the charging device 100. When the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11 and the magnetic element 230 generates a magnetic attraction force on the magnetic component 37, the magnetic component 37 can drive the base 31 to move relative to the body 10 along the mating direction Y. That is, the magnetic component 37 can drive the base 31 to move along the direction from the second side 133 of the movable cavity 13 to the first side 131 of the movable cavity 13, thereby exposing the second electrical connector 33 from the first side 131 of the movable cavity 13 into the receiving cavity 11, so as to realize the electrical connection between the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33. It should be noted that in some embodiments, when the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 are not electrically connected, the elastic component 35 may be in a natural state; or, the elastic component 35 may be in a stretched state, and the stretching amount of the elastic component 35 when the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 are not electrically connected is less than the stretching amount of the elastic component 35 when the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 are electrically connected.

[0066] In some embodiments, the mating portion 311 is the bottom surface of the base 31 (the side of the base 31 opposite to the second side 133 of the movable cavity 13). When the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 are not electrically connected, the mating portion 311 can maintain a mating with the second side 133 of the movable cavity 13 under the action of gravity, or under the action of gravity and the elastic force of the elastic member 35. In other embodiments, the mating portion 311 protrudes from the outer peripheral wall of the base 31 in a direction away from the center of the base 31. When the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 are not electrically connected, the mating portion 311 can maintain a mating with the second side 133 of the movable cavity 13 under the action of gravity, or under the action of gravity and the elastic force of the elastic member 35.

[0067] In some embodiments, a buffer is provided between the mating part 311 and the second side 133 of the movable cavity 13. The buffer is used to absorb the impact force between the mating part 311 and the second side 133 of the movable cavity 13, thereby reducing the possibility of collision damage between the mating part 311 and the second side 133 of the movable cavity 13 and ensuring the normal operation of the charging device 100.

[0068] In some embodiments, the shape of the movable cavity 13 is approximately the same as that of the charging module 30. This improves the fit of the movable cavity 13 to the charging module 30, reduces the shaking of the charging module 30 within the movable cavity 13, and enhances the stability of the charging module 30 during storage and movement within the movable cavity 13. Furthermore, compared to a different shape for the movable cavity 13 compared to the charging module 30, there is less unused space in the movable cavity 13, which facilitates miniaturization of the charging device 100. For example, when the charging module 30 is approximately cylindrical, the movable cavity 13 is also cylindrical, and the cross-sectional dimensions of the charging module 30 cut by a plane perpendicular to the insertion direction X are approximately the same as the cross-sectional dimensions of the movable cavity 13 cut by a plane perpendicular to the insertion direction X. Therefore, when the charging module 30 is subjected to force, the charging module 30 can move along the axis of the movable cavity 13 within the movable cavity 13.

[0069] Compared to related technologies, by utilizing the technical solution of this embodiment, when the aerosol generating device 200 cannot be fully installed in the charging device 100 due to foreign objects in the accommodating cavity 11 or structural damage to the charging device 100, the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 can still achieve good electrical contact. This ensures normal interaction between the aerosol generating device 200 and the charging device 100, improving the user experience. Furthermore, when the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 are electrically connected, the elastic member 35 is in a stretched state. Therefore, the elastic member 35 can play a buffering and shock-absorbing role, preventing excessive impact during the electrical connection of the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 from damaging either, thereby extending the service life of the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 and ensuring the normal operation of the charging device 100 and the aerosol generating device 200.

[0070] Please see Figures 2 to 4 The second aspect of this application provides a charging module 30.

[0071] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The charging module 30 in the second aspect embodiment also includes an elastic element 35, which is disposed between the base 31 and the body 10. When the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 are electrically connected, the elastic element 35 generates elastic force.

[0072] Specifically, in some embodiments, one end of the elastic member 35 is connected to the base 31, and the other end is connected to the body 10. When the base 31 moves relative to the body 10 to electrically connect the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33, the elastic member 35 can deform and generate elastic force. The elastic member 35 serves two purposes: firstly, it provides a connection and fixation function, preventing the base 31 from moving or shaking relative to the body 10 when the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 are not electrically connected, thus ensuring the structural stability of the charging device 100; secondly, when the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 separate, the elastic force can reset the base 31 to its initial position, ensuring the next electrical connection of the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33.

[0073] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the aerosol generating device 200 is provided with a magnetic element 230, and the body 10 is provided with a magnetic unit 15. The magnetic element 230 and the magnetic unit 15 cooperate to make the aerosol generating device 200 move toward the fixed position of the accommodating cavity 11. In the fixed position, the aerosol generating device 200 is loaded into the accommodating cavity 11.

[0074] The magnetic unit 15 is a structure in the charging device 100 that can attract other components through its own magnetic field; the magnetic element 230 is a structure in the aerosol generating device 200 that can attract other components through its own magnetic field. For example, both the magnetic unit 15 and the magnetic element 230 are permanent magnets. The magnetic unit 15 can be in a regular or irregular shape, such as a cuboid or cylinder, and can be installed on the body 10 using either a detachable or non-detachable connection method. The magnetic element 230 can also be in a regular or irregular shape, such as a cuboid or cylinder, and can be installed on the aerosol generating device 200 using either a detachable or non-detachable connection method. Detachable connection methods include, but are not limited to, threaded connections or snap-fit ​​connections; non-detachable connection methods include, but are not limited to, bonding or welding.

[0075] Specifically, in some embodiments, when the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11 and the magnetic element 230 is within the magnetic field range of the magnetic unit 15, the magnetic unit 15 and the magnetic element 230 cooperate to move the aerosol generating device 200 toward a fixed position in the receiving cavity 11, thereby loading the aerosol generating device 200 into place within the receiving cavity 11. When the aerosol generating device 200 is loaded into place in the receiving cavity 11, the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 are electrically connected to each other. Thus, the cooperation between the magnetic element 230 and the magnetic unit 15 improves the stability of the aerosol generating device 200 stored in the charging device 100; and ensures that the first electrical connector 210 of the aerosol generating device 200 and the second electrical connector 33 of the charging device 100 maintain good electrical contact at all times, improving the stability of the operational interaction between the aerosol generating device 200 and the charging device 100. It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the fixed position of the accommodating cavity 11 may be the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 11. That is, when the aerosol generating device 200 is located in the fixed position of the accommodating cavity 11, the aerosol generating device 200 abuts against the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 11.

[0076] In some embodiments, when the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11, the magnetic unit 15 applies a magnetic attraction force to the magnetic element 230 to move the aerosol generating device 200 toward a fixed position.

[0077] Specifically, in some embodiments, the magnetic unit 15 may be disposed on the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 11. When the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the accommodating cavity 11 and the magnetic element 230 is within the magnetic field range of the magnetic unit 15, the opposite magnetic poles of the magnetic unit 15 and the magnetic element 230 cooperate with each other. For example, the N pole of the magnetic unit 15 cooperates with the S pole of the magnetic element 230; or, the S pole of the magnetic unit 15 cooperates with the N pole of the magnetic element 230. Thus, the magnetic unit 15 can generate a magnetic attraction force on the magnetic element 230, so that the magnetic element 230 drives the aerosol generating device 200 to move toward a fixed position, thereby realizing the mutual electrical connection of the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33. Furthermore, the magnetic element 230 can also be held in a fixed position under the magnetic attraction force of the magnetic unit 15.

[0078] In other embodiments, when the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11 and the magnetic element 230 is closer to the target position than the magnetic unit 15 in the insertion direction X, the magnetic unit 15 applies a magnetic repulsion force to the magnetic element 230 to move the aerosol generating device 200 toward a fixed position.

[0079] Specifically, in some embodiments, the magnetic unit 15 may be disposed on the side wall of the accommodating cavity 11. When the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the accommodating cavity 11, and the magnetic element 230 is closer to the target position than the magnetic unit 15 in the insertion direction X, the magnetic element 230 is located within the magnetic field range of the magnetic unit 15, and the same magnetic poles of the magnetic unit 15 and the magnetic element 230 cooperate with each other. For example, the N pole of the magnetic unit 15 cooperates with the N pole of the magnetic element 230; or, the S pole of the magnetic unit 15 cooperates with the S pole of the magnetic element 230. Thus, the magnetic unit 15 can apply a magnetic repulsive force to the magnetic element 230 to make the magnetic element 230 move toward the target position, thereby maintaining the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 electrically connected to each other, and the magnetic element 230 can be held in a fixed position under the action of the magnetic repulsive force of the magnetic unit 15.

[0080] In other embodiments, the magnetic unit 15 may be an electromagnet, and the magnetic element 230 may be a permanent magnet. When the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11, the magnetic unit 15 is energized to engage with the magnetic element 230, causing the magnetic element 230 to move the aerosol generating device 200 toward the target position, thereby maintaining the electrical connection between the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33.

[0081] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the charging device 100 may also include a position detection element disposed on the body 10 and used to detect whether the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11. When the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11, the position detection element may output a detection signal to the circuit board of the charging device 100, and the circuit board controls the magnetic unit 15 to be energized based on the detection signal.

[0082] It should be noted that the following embodiments only illustrate the example of the magnetic unit 15 applying magnetic attraction force to the magnetic element 230 when the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11.

[0083] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, when the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11 and the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 are in contact, the base 31 moves along the insertion direction X of the aerosol generating device 200, and the elastic member 35 is in a compressed state. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the elastic member 35 is a compression spring.

[0084] Specifically, in some embodiments, when the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11, the magnetic unit 15 can generate a magnetic attraction force on the magnetic element 230, causing the magnetic element 230 to move the aerosol generating device 200 towards the target position and press the first electrical connector 210, thereby causing the base 31 to move along the insertion direction X of the aerosol generating device 200, and the elastic element 35 to be compressed. That is, during the movement of the aerosol generating device 200 relative to the body 10, the aerosol generating device 200 needs to overcome the elastic force of the elastic element 35 to move. Thus, the elastic element 35 can play a role in buffering and shock absorption, preventing excessive impact between the aerosol generating device 200 and the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 11, which could damage the aerosol generating device 200, thereby extending the service life of the aerosol generating device 200 and ensuring its normal operation.

[0085] In addition, the aerosol generating device 200 can move toward the target position under the magnetic attraction force applied by the magnetic unit 15, thereby not only ensuring that the aerosol generating device 200 is loaded in the charging device 100, but also preventing the aerosol generating device 200 from being pushed out of the receiving cavity 11 by the elastic force generated by the elastic member 35 when it is in a fixed position, thereby ensuring the stability of the electrical connection between the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33.

[0086] It is understood that in other embodiments, when the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11 and the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 are in contact, the base 31 moves along the insertion direction X of the aerosol generating device 200, and the elastic member 35 is in a stretched state. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the elastic member 35 is a tension spring. In the second aspect embodiment, only the example of the base 31 moving along the insertion direction X of the aerosol generating device 200 and the elastic member 35 being in a compressed state when the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11 and the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 are in contact will be described.

[0087] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the body 10 has a movable cavity 13 spaced from the receiving cavity 11, and at least a portion of the charging module 30 is movably disposed in the movable cavity 13. The base 31 includes a mating portion 312. In the insertion direction X, the movable cavity 13 sequentially includes a first side 131 and a second side 133. When the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 are not electrically connected, the elastic member 35 is used to keep the mating portion 312 engaged with the first side 131 of the movable cavity 13.

[0088] Specifically, in some embodiments, when the aerosol generating device 200 is not inserted into the receiving cavity 11; or when the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11 but the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 are not electrically connected, the elastic member 35 is used to keep the matching part 312 engaged with the first side 131 of the movable cavity 13, thereby preventing the base 31 from moving or shaking freely in the movable cavity 13 and improving the structural stability of the charging device 100. When the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11 and the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 are in contact, the magnetic element 230 can drive the aerosol generating device 200 to move toward a fixed position under the magnetic attraction force of the magnetic unit 15, and push the first electrical connector 210 to move along the insertion direction X, that is, push the first electrical connector 210 to move along the direction from the first side 131 of the movable cavity 13 to the second side 133 of the movable cavity 13, thereby loading the aerosol generating device 200 into place. It should be noted that in some embodiments, when the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 are not electrically connected, the elastic member 35 may be in a natural state; or, the elastic member 35 may be in a compressed state, and the amount of compression of the elastic member 35 when the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 are not electrically connected is less than the amount of compression of the elastic member 35 when the aerosol generating device 200 is in a fixed position.

[0089] In some embodiments, the mating portion 312 is the top surface of the base 31 (the side of the base 31 opposite to the first side 131 of the movable cavity 13). When the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 are not electrically connected, the mating portion 312 can maintain engagement with the first side 131 of the movable cavity 13 under the elastic force of the elastic member 35. In other embodiments, the mating portion 312 may protrude from the outer peripheral wall of the base 31 in a direction away from the center of the base 31. When the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 are not electrically connected, the mating portion 312 can maintain engagement with the first side 131 of the movable cavity 13 under the elastic force of the elastic member 35.

[0090] In some embodiments, a buffer pad is provided between the matching part 312 and the first side 131 of the active cavity 13. The buffer pad is used to absorb the impact force between the matching part 312 and the first side 131 of the active cavity 13, thereby reducing the possibility of collision damage between the matching part 312 and the first side 131 of the active cavity 13 and ensuring the normal operation of the charging device 100.

[0091] In some embodiments, the shape of the movable cavity 13 is approximately the same as that of the charging module 30. This improves the fit of the movable cavity 13 to the charging module 30, reduces the shaking of the charging module 30 within the movable cavity 13, and enhances the stability of the charging module 30 during storage and movement within the movable cavity 13. Furthermore, compared to a different shape for the movable cavity 13 compared to the charging module 30, there is less unused space in the movable cavity 13, which facilitates miniaturization of the charging device 100. For example, when the charging module 30 is approximately cylindrical, the movable cavity 13 is also cylindrical, and the cross-sectional dimensions of the charging module 30 cut by a plane perpendicular to the insertion direction X are approximately the same as the cross-sectional dimensions of the movable cavity 13 cut by a plane perpendicular to the insertion direction X. Therefore, when the charging module 30 is subjected to force, the charging module 30 can move along the axis of the movable cavity 13 within the movable cavity 13.

[0092] Compared to related technologies, this embodiment's technical solution ensures that even when the aerosol generating device 200 cannot be fully installed in the charging device 100 due to foreign objects in the accommodating cavity 11 or structural damage to the charging device 100, the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 can still achieve good electrical contact. This ensures normal interaction between the aerosol generating device 200 and the charging device 100, improving the user experience. Furthermore, when the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 are electrically connected, the elastic member 35 is in a compressed state. Therefore, the elastic member 35 can act as a buffer and shock absorber, preventing excessive impact between the aerosol generating device 200 and the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 11, which could damage the aerosol generating device 200. This extends the service life of the aerosol generating device 200 and ensures its normal operation.

[0093] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The third aspect of this application provides a charging module 30.

[0094] In the third embodiment, the base 31 of the charging module 30 is provided with a magnetic element 37, and the aerosol generating device 200 is provided with a magnetic element 230. The magnetic element 230 and the magnetic element 37 cooperate to maintain the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 electrically connected to each other.

[0095] It should be noted that the structure and function of the magnetic component 37 and magnetic element 230 in this embodiment are basically the same as those in the first aspect embodiment. Please refer to the specific description in the first aspect embodiment for details, which will not be repeated here. The following describes the differences between the charging module 30 provided in the third aspect and the charging module 30 provided in the first aspect.

[0096] In this embodiment, the charging module 30 does not include the elastic element 35 of the charging module 30 in the first aspect embodiment. In this embodiment, when the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11 and is located in a fixed position in the receiving cavity 11, the magnetic element 230 applies a magnetic attraction force to the magnetic element 37 to move the base 31 along the mating direction Y, which is opposite to the insertion direction X of the aerosol generating device 200. In the fixed position, the aerosol generating device 200 is loaded into place in the receiving cavity 11.

[0097] Specifically, in some embodiments, when the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the accommodating cavity 11 and positioned in a fixed position within the accommodating cavity 11, the magnetic element 37 is located within the magnetic field range of the magnetic element 230. The opposite magnetic poles of the magnetic element 37 and the magnetic element 230 cooperate with each other; for example, the N pole of the magnetic element 37 cooperates with the S pole of the magnetic element 230; or, the S pole of the magnetic element 37 cooperates with the N pole of the magnetic element 230. Thus, the magnetic element 230 can apply a magnetic attraction force to the magnetic element 37, causing the magnetic element 37 to drive the base 31 to move relative to the body 10, thereby achieving electrical connection between the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33. Furthermore, the magnetic element 230 can also be held in a fixed position under the magnetic attraction force of the magnetic element 37. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the fixed position of the accommodating cavity 11 can be the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 11. That is, when the aerosol generating device 200 is located in the fixed position of the accommodating cavity 11, the aerosol generating device 200 abuts against the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 11.

[0098] Please continue reading. Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the body 10 has a movable cavity 13 spaced apart from the receiving cavity 11. At least a portion of the charging module 30 is movably disposed in the movable cavity 13, and the base 31 includes a mating portion 311. In the insertion direction X, the movable cavity 13 sequentially includes a first side 131 and a second side 133. When the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 are not electrically connected, the mating portion 311 remains engaged with the second side 133 of the movable cavity 13.

[0099] Specifically, in some embodiments, when the aerosol generating device 200 is not inserted into the receiving cavity 11; or when the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11 but the magnetic element 230 does not apply magnetic attraction to the magnetic element 37, the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 are not electrically connected, and the mating part 311 remains engaged with the second side 133 of the movable cavity 13. This prevents the base 31 from detaching from the movable cavity 13, ensuring the stability and reliability of the charging module 30. When the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11, the magnetic element 37 can drive the base 31 to move along the mating direction Y under the magnetic attraction of the magnetic element 230. That is, the magnetic element 37 can drive the base 31 to move along the direction from the second side 133 of the movable cavity 13 to the first side 131 of the movable cavity 13, thereby exposing the second electrical connector 33 from the first side 131 of the movable cavity 13 into the receiving cavity 11, so as to realize the mutual electrical connection of the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33.

[0100] In some embodiments, the mating portion 311 is the bottom surface of the base 31 (the side of the base 31 opposite to the second side 133 of the movable cavity 13). When the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 are not electrically connected, the mating portion 311 can maintain a mating with the second side 133 of the movable cavity 13 under the action of gravity. In other embodiments, the mating portion 311 protrudes from the outer peripheral wall of the base 31 in a direction away from the center of the base 31. When the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 are not electrically connected, the mating portion 311 can maintain a mating with the second side 133 of the movable cavity 13 under the action of gravity and the elastic force of the elastic member 35.

[0101] In some embodiments, a buffer is provided between the mating part 311 and the second side 133 of the movable cavity 13. The buffer is used to absorb the impact force between the mating part 311 and the second side 133 of the movable cavity 13, thereby reducing the possibility of collision damage between the mating part 311 and the second side 133 of the movable cavity 13 and ensuring the normal operation of the charging device 100.

[0102] In some embodiments, the shape of the movable cavity 13 is approximately the same as that of the charging module 30. This improves the fit of the movable cavity 13 to the charging module 30, reduces the shaking of the charging module 30 within the movable cavity 13, and enhances the stability of the charging module 30 during storage and movement within the movable cavity 13. Furthermore, compared to a different shape for the movable cavity 13 compared to the charging module 30, there is less unused space in the movable cavity 13, which facilitates miniaturization of the charging device 100. For example, when the charging module 30 is approximately cylindrical, the movable cavity 13 is also cylindrical, and the cross-sectional dimensions of the charging module 30 cut by a plane perpendicular to the insertion direction X are approximately the same as the cross-sectional dimensions of the movable cavity 13 cut by a plane perpendicular to the insertion direction X. Therefore, when the charging module 30 is subjected to force, the charging module 30 can move along the axis of the movable cavity 13 within the movable cavity 13.

[0103] Compared to related technologies, by utilizing the technical solution of this embodiment, when the aerosol generating device 200 cannot be fully installed in the charging device 100 due to foreign objects in the accommodating cavity 11 or structural damage to the charging device 100, the first electrical connector 210 and the second electrical connector 33 can still achieve good electrical contact, thereby ensuring normal interaction between the aerosol generating device 200 and the charging device 100 and improving the user experience. Furthermore, there is no need to provide an elastic member 35 between the base 31 and the body 10, which reduces the number of structural components in the charging device 100, thus not only facilitating the miniaturization of the charging device 100 but also improving the assembly efficiency of the charging device 100.

[0104] The technical features of the embodiments described above can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as the combination of these technical features does not contradict each other, it should be considered within the scope of this specification. Furthermore, other implementation methods can be derived from the above embodiments, allowing for structural and logical substitutions and changes without departing from the scope of this disclosure.

[0105] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
