Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of aerosol generation equipment technology, specifically to a sliding cover assembly and a heating non-combustible device. Background Technology

[0002] Heated non-combustible devices typically have a matrix inlet for inserting a solid aerosol matrix, which then heats the aerosol matrix to generate an aerosol. To prevent external impurities from entering the matrix inlet during transport, some heated non-combustible devices have an openable cover at the matrix inlet.

[0003] One of the common opening and closing methods used for the cover in heated non-combustible devices is sliding opening and closing. However, the sliding cover structure requires a large space to achieve the positioning of the cover so that the position of the cover can be maintained after sliding into place, which makes it difficult to effectively realize the sliding cover function in a compact space. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to enable the sliding cover function of the heated non-combustible device to be realized in a compact space, this application provides a new sliding cover assembly and heated non-combustible device.

[0005] According to a first aspect, one embodiment provides a sliding cover assembly for a heating non-combustible device, comprising:

[0006] A slide has a matrix inlet for inserting an aerosol matrix. The slide is provided with a guide structure and a protrusion. The guide structure has a guide direction, and the protrusion is disposed on one side of the matrix inlet along the guide direction.

[0007] The cover body is slidably disposed on the slide block via the guide structure. The cover body has a closed position for closing the substrate insertion port and an open position for exposing the substrate insertion port. The cover body has a mounting cavity facing the opening of the slide block. The protrusion is inserted into the mounting cavity. A limiting groove is provided on the cavity sidewall of the mounting cavity.

[0008] And an elastic member having a limiting portion that engages with the limiting groove to be positioned along the depth direction of the mounting cavity; the elastic member having at least one elastic arm, the elastic arm including an adapter portion protruding toward a side near the protrusion, the adapter portion being used to elastically abut against the protrusion to provide the cover with an elastic force that causes the cover to slide along the guide direction.

[0009] When the cover is in the closed position, the elastic element provides a spring force to the cover to keep the cover in the closed position; when the cover is in the open position, the elastic element provides a spring force to the cover to keep the cover in the open position.

[0010] In one embodiment, the adapter is V-shaped, and the opening of the V-shaped structure formed by the adapter faces away from the protrusion.

[0011] In one embodiment, the elastic element includes two elastic arms, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the protrusion.

[0012] In one embodiment, the elastic member further includes a connecting portion, the two ends of which are respectively connected to an elastic bent arm, and a limiting portion is formed by the connecting portion.

[0013] In one embodiment, one of the limiting portions is formed from the end of the resilient bend arm.

[0014] In one embodiment, the cover has an installation port on one side of the mounting cavity along the guide direction. The installation port communicates with the mounting cavity and the limiting groove, and is used to allow the elastic element to be installed in the limiting groove. The installation port is located between the ends of the two elastic arms and in the interval direction of the two elastic arms. The opening size of the installation port is smaller than the interval when the ends of the two elastic arms abut against the side wall of the limiting groove.

[0015] In one embodiment, the cover body has slide rail portions protruding on both sides along the guide direction. The guide structure includes a slide groove for the cover body to slide between the closed position and the open position. The slide groove has limiting slots on the sidewalls of the groove on both sides along the guide direction for accommodating the slide rail portions to prevent the cover body from disengaging from the slide groove.

[0016] In one embodiment, the slide includes a base and a cover, the cover being detachably disposed on the base to form the limiting groove.

[0017] In one embodiment, the slide rail portion has a supporting protrusion protruding from the bottom wall of the slide groove. The supporting protrusion has a contact surface for abutting against the bottom wall of the slide groove, thereby reducing the contact area between the cover and the bottom wall of the slide groove.

[0018] According to a second aspect, one embodiment provides a heating non-combustible device, including the sliding cover assembly described in any of the above embodiments.

[0019] According to the above embodiment, the sliding cover assembly of the heated non-combustible device, by setting an elastic element and a protrusion to cooperate, utilizes the elastic force generated by the protrusion and the adapter during the sliding of the cover to form an elastic driving mechanism, so that the cover can automatically approach and remain in the required closed or open position after the drive slide, effectively realizing the sliding opening and closing function; by setting an installation cavity and a limiting groove on the cover, the limiting groove is used for positioning of the elastic element, and the installation cavity provides a matching space for the elastic element and the protrusion, so that the sliding cover assembly has a compact structure, which helps to realize the sliding cover function in a compact space.

[0034] Some heated non-combustible devices have a sliding cover 200 at the substrate inlet 110. However, in order for the cover 200 to remain in its position after sliding, the sliding cover structure needs to occupy a large space, which is not conducive to effectively realizing the sliding cover function in a compact space.

[0035] In this embodiment of the application, by providing a protrusion 130 on the slide block 100 and a spring element 300 on the cover 200, the protrusion 130 and the spring element 300 can cooperate to keep the cover 200 in the closed position of the substrate insertion port 110 as needed, and in the open position of exposing the substrate insertion port 110. Moreover, the structure is compact, which helps to effectively realize the sliding cover function in a compact space.

[0036] An embodiment of the sliding cover assembly of the heated non-combustible device in this application:

[0037] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The sliding cover assembly of the heated non-combustible device includes a slide base 100, a cover body 200, and an elastic element 300.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3The slide 100 can be understood as the sliding base of the cover 200. The slide 100 is provided with a guide structure having a guiding direction, so that the cover 200 is slidably disposed on the slide 100 through the guide structure. In order to explain this application more clearly, the following description takes an embodiment in which the guiding direction is the length direction of the slide 100 as an example.

[0039] In one embodiment, the slide 100 has a matrix inlet 110 for inserting an aerosol matrix 500, and the cover 200 has a closed position for closing the matrix inlet 110 and an open position for exposing the matrix inlet 110. Applying force to the cover 200 allows the cover 200 to slide in a guide direction to switch between the closed position and the open position.

[0040] In one embodiment, the cover 200 has slide rail portions 210 protruding on both sides along the guide direction. The guide structure on the slide block 100 includes a slide groove 120, which is used for the cover 200 to slide between the closed position and the open position. The sidewalls of the slide groove 120 along both sides of the guide direction are provided with limiting slots 121, which are used to accommodate the slide rail portions 210 to restrict the cover 200 from disengaging from the slide groove 120.

[0041] For example, the substrate inlet 110 can be located on one side of the bottom wall of the groove 120 along the guide direction. When the cover 200 is located at one end of the groove 120 where the substrate inlet 110 is located to close the substrate inlet 110, it is in the closed position; when the cover 200 is located at one end of the groove 120 away from the substrate inlet 110 to expose the substrate inlet 110, it is in the open position.

[0042] The cover 200 is provided with slide rails 210 on both sides along the guide direction. The slide groove 120 is provided with limiting slots 121 on the sidewalls of the grooves on both sides along the guide direction. At least part of the slide rail 210 is engaged in the limiting slots 121, so as to restrict the degree of freedom of the cover 200 by restricting the slide rail 210, so that the cover 200 can only slide along the guide direction.

[0043] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The slide 100 includes a seat 140 and a cover 150. The cover 150 can be detachably attached to the seat 140 by means of snap-fit, screw connection or other means to form a limiting groove 121.

[0044] For example, a groove 141 may be provided on the surface of the base 140 for covering the cover 150. The groove 141 opens towards the cover 150 to allow the slide rail portion 210 to be inserted. After the cover 150 is placed on the base 140, it closes the opening of the groove 141 towards the cover 150. The base 140 and the cover 150 together form a limiting groove 121 to limit the slide rail portion 210. This facilitates the assembly of the cover 200 and also limits and guides the cover 200. The cover 200, base 140, and cover 150 can all be made of plastic.

[0045] In other embodiments, the slide 100 may also be configured in other forms, as long as the cover 200 can be slidably assembled onto the slide 100. For example, the slide 100 may be integrally formed, and the cover 200 or the slide rail portion 210 in the cover 200 may be made of an elastic material, so that the slide rail portion 210 can be inserted into the limiting groove 121 after being deformed by compression, and then restore its shape in the limiting groove 121 to achieve sliding assembly. The slide 100 may also adopt other types of guiding structures such as guide rails.

[0046] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 The slide rail portion 210 has a supporting protrusion 211 protruding from the bottom wall of the slide groove 120. The supporting protrusion 211 has a contact surface for abutting against the bottom wall of the slide groove 120, thereby reducing the contact area between the cover 200 and the bottom wall of the slide groove 120, thus reducing the frictional resistance when the cover 200 slides and improving the operating feel. In different embodiments, the supporting protrusion 211 can be arranged in a continuous or spaced strip shape, or in a dotted pattern. In short, the arrangement of the supporting protrusion 211 is not limited, as long as it helps to reduce the contact area between the cover 200 and the bottom wall of the slide groove 120.

[0047] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The slide block 100 is also provided with a protrusion 130, which is located on one side of the substrate insertion port 110 along the guide direction. The protrusion 130 can be cylindrical or other shapes. The cover 200 has a mounting cavity 220 opening toward the slide block 100, and the protrusion 130 is inserted into the mounting cavity 220. A limiting groove 230 is provided on the cavity sidewall of the mounting cavity 220. The elastic member 300 has a limiting portion 310 that engages with the limiting groove 230 to be positioned along the depth direction of the mounting cavity 220. The elastic member 300 has at least one elastic bent arm 320, which includes an adapter portion 321 protruding toward the side near the protrusion 130. The adapter portion 321 is used to elastically abut against the protrusion 130 to provide the cover 200 with an elastic force that allows the cover 200 to slide along the guide direction. The elastic member 300 can be made of metal such as spring steel.

[0048] When the cover 200 is in the closed position, the elastic element 300 provides a spring force to the cover 200 to keep the cover 200 in the closed position; when the cover 200 is in the open position, the elastic element 300 provides a spring force to the cover 200 to keep the cover 200 in the open position.

[0049] By configuring the elastic element 300 and the protrusion 130 to cooperate, the elastic force generated by the protrusion 130 and the adapter 321 pressing against each other during the sliding of the cover 200 forms an elastic driving mechanism. This allows the cover 200 to automatically approach and remain in the desired closed or open position after the sliding is driven, effectively realizing the sliding opening and closing function. Moreover, the elastic element 300 is positioned by the limiting groove 230, and the mounting cavity 220 provides installation space for the elastic element 300 and the protrusion 130, which does not easily increase the volume of the sliding cover assembly and helps to realize the sliding cover function in a compact space.

[0050] Those skilled in the art will understand that, in different embodiments, the elastic element 300 provides elastic force to the cover 200 to make it slide in the guide direction in ways including but not limited to: using the inclined or arcuate surface of the protrusion 130, and using the inclined surface of the elastic element 300 itself.

[0051] In one embodiment, the adapter 321 may be V-shaped, with the opening of the V-shaped structure facing away from the protrusion 130. When the cover 200 is driven to slide, as the middle of the adapter 321 approaches the protrusion 130, the cover 200 experiences a gradually increasing elastic force opposite to the sliding direction. After the middle of the adapter 321 passes the protrusion 130, the cover 200 experiences a gradually decreasing elastic force in the same direction as the sliding direction, causing the cover 200 to automatically slide along the driving direction and ultimately remain in the closed or open position. This not only enables automatic positioning of the cover 200 but also helps improve the user experience and enhances the reliability of the cover 200's position retention.

[0052] For example, the flexible arm 320 is generally V-shaped to serve as the adapter portion 321. In other embodiments, the flexible arm 320 may also include other portions besides the adapter portion 321, such as a straight portion disposed at the end of the adapter portion 321 or serving as a limiting portion 310. Furthermore, the adapter portion 321 may also be arc-shaped or other shapes that meet design and usage requirements. When the adapter portion 321 is arc-shaped, the center of the arc is located on the side of the adapter portion 321 opposite to the protrusion 130.

[0053] In one embodiment, the elastic element 300 includes two elastic arms 320, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the protrusion 130. The two elastic arms 320 work together to help increase the upper limit of the elasticity provided, further enhancing the functional reliability of the sliding cover assembly.

[0054] The elastic element 300 may also include a connecting portion 330, with both ends of the connecting portion 330 connected to an elastic bent arm 320 respectively. A limiting portion 310 is formed by the connecting portion 330. The ends of the two elastic bent arms 320 may also each form a limiting portion 310. The so-called "end of the elastic bent arm 320" is the end of the elastic bent arm 320 away from the connecting portion 330.

[0055] For example, the elastic member 300 includes a connecting portion 330 and elastic bent arms 320 disposed at both ends of the connecting portion 330. The connecting portion 330 is arc-shaped so that the overall shape of the elastic member 300 is U-shaped, similar to a U-shaped clamp.

[0056] In other embodiments, the elastic element 300 may also be provided with only one elastic bend arm 320. For example, one end of the connecting portion 330 is connected to the V-shaped elastic bend arm 320, and the other end is connected to a straight arm, so that the elastic element 300 forms a shape similar to an R-shape, which can also meet the elasticity requirements of the sliding cover structure.

[0057] In a further embodiment, the cover 200 has a mounting opening 240 on one side of the mounting cavity 220 along the guide direction. The mounting opening 240 communicates with the mounting cavity 220 and the limiting groove 230, and is used for the elastic member 300 to be inserted into the limiting groove 230. The mounting opening 240 is located between the ends of the two elastic arms 320 and in the spacing direction of the two elastic arms 320. The opening size of the mounting opening 240 is smaller than the interval when the ends of the two elastic arms 320 abut against the sidewall of the limiting groove 230. This makes it difficult for the ends of the elastic arms 320 to detach from the mounting opening 240 during use, which helps to ensure the structural stability of the sliding cover assembly. In different embodiments, the limiting groove 230 can be set as annular or can be set in multiple segments corresponding to the limiting portions 310 of the elastic member 300.

[0058] For example, the limiting groove 230 is an annular groove, and the middle section of the connecting part 330 and the ends of the two elastic bent arms 320 both serve as limiting parts 310. During installation, the middle section of the connecting part 330 can be inserted into the limiting groove 230 first, and then the ends of the two elastic bent arms 320 can be squeezed together and inserted into the limiting groove 230 through the mounting port 240. After insertion, the elastic bent arms 320 tend to return to their original position, and the ends of the two elastic bent arms 320 abut against the groove sidewall of the limiting groove 230 on one side of the mounting port 240, forming a three-point positioning structure with the middle section of the connecting part 330. Furthermore, the distance between the ends of the two elastic bent arms 320 when they abut against the groove sidewall of the limiting groove 230 is greater than the opening size of the mounting port 240, so that the elastic element 300 is engaged in the limiting groove 230 and the mounting cavity 220.

[0059] When the elastic element 300 includes an elastic bent arm 320 and a straight arm, it can also be installed in the manner described above, which will not be repeated here.

[0060] Examples of the heating non-combustible device in this application:

[0061] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 The heated non-combustible device includes the sliding cover assembly of any of the above embodiments. It may also include a heating assembly 400 for heating the aerosol matrix 500, and the sliding cover assembly may be disposed on the heating assembly 400. In different embodiments, the slide seat 100 in the sliding cover assembly may be disposed on the heating assembly 400 in any detachable or non-detachable manner, as long as it meets the design and usage requirements.

[0062] Furthermore, those skilled in the art should know that the application scenarios of the aforementioned sliding cover assembly are not limited to heating non-combustible devices. It can be installed in any scenario where there is a need for the movable setting of the cover 200 or a similar need. For example, the aforementioned sliding cover assembly can be used for the opening and closing control of the air inlet and outlet in an atomizing device, and can also be used as a toggle switch assembly for other devices.

[0063] The above examples illustrate this application only to aid understanding and are not intended to limit its scope. Those skilled in the art to which this application pertains can make various simple deductions, modifications, or substitutions based on the ideas presented.
