Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of aerosol technology, and more specifically, to an aerosol generating apparatus and an aerosol generating system. Background Technology
[0002] An aerosol generating device is a device that uses a heat-not-burning (HNB) method to heat an aerosol generating matrix and produce aerosols. In related technologies, the aerosol generating device has a heating chamber in which the aerosol generating matrix is housed and heated to generate aerosols. Generally, the heating chamber is open to facilitate the insertion of the aerosol generating matrix. However, when the aerosol generating device is not in use or is being carried, foreign objects can easily enter the heating chamber, making it difficult to install the aerosol generating matrix and affecting the normal operation of the aerosol generating device. Utility Model Content
[0003] This application provides an aerosol generating device and an aerosol generating system to solve the technical problem that foreign objects can easily enter the heating chamber, making it difficult to install the aerosol generating matrix.
[0004] The aerosol generating apparatus of this application is used in an aerosol generating system. The aerosol generating system includes a mating device, which has a first end and a second end facing each other. The first end of the mating device is provided with a magnetic element. The aerosol generating apparatus includes a body and a shielding assembly. The body has a heating chamber for containing an aerosol generating matrix. The shielding assembly includes a shielding member and a magnetic member disposed on the shielding member. The shielding member is disposed on the body. When the body is disposed on the mating device and the shielding assembly is closer to the first end of the mating device than the second end of the mating device, the magnetic element engages with the magnetic member and drives the shielding member to rotate relative to the body to open the heating chamber. When the body is disposed on the mating device and the shielding assembly is closer to the second end of the mating device than the first end of the mating device, the shielding member shields the heating chamber.
[0005] In some embodiments, both the shielding member and the magnetic member include at least two, with at least two shielding members and at least two magnetic members corresponding one-to-one; when the magnetic element and the magnetic member are not engaged, at least two magnetic members attract each other so that at least two shielding members jointly shield the heating cavity; when the magnetic element and the magnetic member are engaged, at least two shielding members rotate relative to the body in a direction away from each other to open the heating cavity; when the magnetic element and the magnetic member are disengaged, at least two magnetic members attract each other and drive at least two shielding members to rotate relative to the body in a direction closer to each other so that at least two shielding members jointly shield the heating cavity.
[0006] In some embodiments, when the shielding assembly is in the state of shielding the heating cavity, the magnetic poles of at least two of the magnetic elements are parallel and opposite.
[0007] In some embodiments, when the magnetic element comprises two and the shielding assembly is in the open state of the heating cavity, the magnetic poles of the two magnetic elements on the sides that are close to each other are opposite.
[0008] In some embodiments, both the shielding member and the magnetic member include at least two components. The at least two shielding members include a first shielding member and a second shielding member, and the at least two magnetic members include a first magnetic member and a second magnetic member. The first magnetic member is disposed on the first shielding member, and the second magnetic member is disposed on the second shielding member. When the first magnetic member engages with the magnetic element, the first magnetic member drives the first shielding member to rotate relative to the body. The first magnetic member also engages with the second magnetic member and drives the second shielding member to rotate relative to the body, thereby opening the heating cavity. When the engagement between the first magnetic member and the magnetic element is disengaged, the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member engage and drive the first and second shielding members to rotate relative to the body, thereby jointly shielding the heating cavity.
[0009] In some embodiments, when the shielding assembly is in the open state of the heating cavity, the magnetic poles of the first magnetic element and the magnetic element on the side closest to each other are opposite.
[0010] In some embodiments, when the first magnetic element cooperates with the magnetic element, the magnetic force between the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element is greater than the magnetic force between the magnetic element and the second magnetic element.
[0011] In some embodiments, when the first magnetic element cooperates with the magnetic element, the magnetic force between the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element is less than the magnetic force between the magnetic element and the first magnetic element.
[0012] The aerosol generation system of this application includes a coupling device and an aerosol generation device as described in any of the above embodiments. The coupling device includes a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The first end of the coupling device is provided with a magnetic element. The aerosol generation device is detachably disposed on the coupling device.
[0013] In some embodiments, the mating device further includes a housing, the sidewall of which is recessed toward the interior to form a receiving groove for accommodating the aerosol generating device, and the magnetic element is disposed within the receiving groove.
[0014] In the aerosol generating apparatus and aerosol generating system of this application, when the main body is disposed on the mating device and the shielding component is closer to the first end of the mating device than the second end of the mating device, the magnetic element and the magnetic component cooperate and drive the shielding component to rotate relative to the main body to open the heating chamber; when the main body is disposed on the mating device and the shielding component is closer to the second end of the mating device than the first end of the mating device, the shielding component shields the heating chamber. Therefore, compared with the conventional aerosol generating apparatus, the shielding component in this embodiment can prevent foreign objects from entering the heating chamber, ensure the normal installation of the aerosol generating substrate, and improve the stability and reliability of the aerosol generating apparatus.

[0030] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the first feature being "on" or "below" the second feature may mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or that the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium.
[0031] In related technologies, aerosol generating devices include a heating chamber in which an aerosol generating substrate is housed and heated to generate aerosols. Generally, the heating chamber is open to facilitate the insertion of the aerosol generating substrate. However, when the aerosol generating device is not in use or is being carried, foreign objects can easily enter the heating chamber, making it difficult to install the aerosol generating substrate and affecting the normal operation of the aerosol generating device. To resolve this issue, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 This application provides an aerosol generating apparatus 100 and an aerosol generating system 1000.
[0032] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The aerosol generation system 1000 of this application includes an aerosol generation device 100 and a coordination device 200, wherein the aerosol generation device 100 is detachably disposed in the coordination device 200.
[0033] It is understood that the aerosol generating apparatus 100 is an apparatus 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, solid, or semi-solid form. For example, when the aerosol generating matrix is 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.
[0034] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the aerosol generating device 100 may include a heating component 101 and an electronic control component 103, with the heating component 101 and the electronic control component 103 electrically connected. Specifically, when a user uses the aerosol generating device 100 for aspiration, the electronic control component 103 can provide electrical energy to the heating component 101 to heat the aerosol generating matrix, thereby generating aerosols from the aerosol generating matrix for the user to aspirate; when the user stops using the aerosol generating device 100, the heating component 101 stops heating the aerosol generating matrix. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the electronic control component 103 includes a battery (e.g., a rechargeable battery). The heating method of the heating component 101 for heating the aerosol generating matrix includes, but is not limited to, resistance heating, electromagnetic heating, infrared heating, microwave heating, and laser irradiation heating, etc., and this application does not impose any limitations.
[0035] The cooperating device 200 is a device in the aerosol generation system 1000 that can cooperate with the aerosol generation device 100 to perform specific functions. The cooperating device 200 includes, but is not limited to, a charging device, a containing device, and a cleaning device. Specifically, the charging device cooperates with the aerosol generation device 100 to charge the aerosol generation device 100; the containing device cooperates with the aerosol generation device 100 to contain the aerosol generation device 100; and the cleaning device cooperates with the aerosol generation device 100 to clean the aerosol generation device 100. For ease of understanding, the following embodiments use an example where the cooperating device 200 includes a charging device.
[0036] Specifically, in some embodiments, when the aerosol generating device 100 has insufficient power, the user can place the aerosol generating device 100 in a charging device. In this case, the aerosol generating device 100 is housed in the charging device, and the charging device is electrically connected to the aerosol generating device 100, thereby enabling the charging device to charge the aerosol generating device 100. Further, the cooperating device 200 includes a power supply unit 250, which can charge the battery of the aerosol generating device 100 when the charging device is electrically connected to the aerosol generating device 100. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the power supply unit 250 is a rechargeable battery.
[0037] In some embodiments, the mating device 200 includes a first end 201 and a second end 203 opposite to each other, and the first end 201 of the mating device 200 is provided with a magnetic element 210. The mating device 200 also includes a housing 230, the sidewall of which is recessed toward the interior of the housing 230 to form a receiving groove 2301 for accommodating the aerosol generating device 100, and the magnetic element 210 is disposed within the receiving groove 2301. It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the receiving groove 2301 may penetrate through the first end 201 and the second end 203 of the mating device 200.
[0038] Specifically, when the aerosol generating device 100 needs charging, it is housed in the receiving groove 2301 and electrically connected to the charging device, allowing the charging device to charge the aerosol generating device 100. When the aerosol generating device 100 is charged within the receiving groove 2301, the overall size of the charging device and the aerosol generating device 100 is small, making it easy for users to carry. The receiving groove 2301 has an open structure at one end to facilitate the placement and removal of the aerosol generating device 100 within it. The aerosol generating device 100 of this application is generally cylindrical, and the receiving groove 2301 is an arc-shaped recess. When the aerosol generating device 100 is housed in the receiving groove 2301, it can fit snugly against the inner surface of the receiving groove 2301, allowing the aerosol generating device 100 to be securely installed within it.
[0039] Since the aerosol generation system 1000 in this embodiment includes an aerosol generation device 100, it is understood that the aerosol generation system 1000 has at least the same beneficial effects as the aerosol generation device 100. Therefore, for the beneficial effects of the aerosol generation system 1000, please refer to the beneficial effects of the aerosol generation device 100 described below.
[0040] Please see Figures 2 to 4 The aerosol generating apparatus 100 according to this application includes a body 10 and a shielding assembly 30. The body 10 is provided with a heating chamber 11 for containing an aerosol generating matrix. The shielding assembly 30 includes a shielding member 31 and a magnetic member 33 disposed on the shielding member 31, the shielding member 31 being disposed on the body 10. When the body 10 is disposed on the mating device 200, and the shielding assembly 30 is closer to the first end 201 of the mating device 200 than the second end 203 of the mating device 200, the magnetic member 210 engages with the magnetic member 33, and drives the shielding member 31 to rotate relative to the body 10 to open the heating chamber 11. Figure 4 (As shown); the body 10 is disposed on the mating device 200, and the shielding component 30 is closer to the second end 203 of the mating device 200 than the first end 201 of the mating device 200. Figure 3In the case shown), the shielding member 31 shields the heating cavity 11.
[0041] In some embodiments, both the shielding member 31 and the magnetic member 33 may include at least one, and the shielding member 31 and the magnetic member 33 correspond one-to-one. For ease of understanding, the following embodiments are described using the example of at least two shielding members 31 and at least two magnetic members 33, with at least two shielding members 31 and at least two magnetic members 33 corresponding one-to-one. That is, when the body 10 is disposed on the mating device 200, and the shielding component 30 is closer to the first end 201 of the mating device 200 than the second end 203 of the mating device 200, the magnetic element 210 engages with the magnetic member 33, and drives at least two shielding members 31 to rotate relative to the body 10 to open the heating chamber 11. Figure 4 (As shown); the body 10 is disposed on the mating device 200, and the shielding component 30 is closer to the second end 203 of the mating device 200 than the first end 201 of the mating device 200. Figure 3 In the case shown, at least two magnetic elements 33 cooperate to allow at least two shielding elements 31 to jointly shield the heating cavity 11.
[0042] Understandably, please combine Figure 1 The body 10 is a structure in the aerosol generating device 100 that can accommodate and protect devices such as the heating component 101 and the electrical control component 103. The material of the body 10 includes, but is not limited to, plastic, aluminum alloy, copper, iron, steel, and carbon fiber composite materials. For example, the body 10 is made of plastic, which makes the body 10 lighter, thereby contributing to the portability of the aerosol generating device 100.
[0043] The shielding component 30 is a structure in the aerosol generating device 100 that can shield or open the heating chamber 11. The shielding component 30 prevents external impurities such as water or dust from entering the heating chamber 11. This prevents obstruction of the aerosol generating substrate installation, ensuring its smooth insertion into the heating chamber 11. It also reduces the possibility of damage to components within the housing 230 (such as the heating component 101 and the electrical control component 103), ensuring the normal operation of the aerosol generating device 100. Furthermore, it prevents odors (such as residual aerosols) in the heating chamber 11 from leaking to the outside and contaminating the user's clothing. In some embodiments of this application, the aerosol generating device 100 includes a proximal lip end 105 and a distal lip end 107, with the shielding component 30 disposed at the proximal lip end 105. It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the distal lip 107 of the aerosol generating device 100 corresponds to the bottom wall of the aerosol generating device 100, and the proximal lip 105 of the aerosol generating device 100 corresponds to the top wall of the aerosol generating device 100.
[0044] The magnetic component 33 is a structural component capable of attracting other components through its own magnetic field. For example, the magnetic component 33 is a permanent magnet, meaning it includes an N pole and a S pole. Both the blocking component 31 and the magnetic component 33 include at least two components, with each pair corresponding to a specific magnetic component 33. The magnetic component 33 can rotate relative to the body 10 together with its corresponding blocking component 31 to either block or open the heating cavity 11.
[0045] In some embodiments, the shielding member 31 and the corresponding magnetic member 33 are an integral structure, that is, the shielding member 31 and the corresponding magnetic member 33 can be a single structure manufactured using an integral molding process. This can improve the stability of the connection between the shielding member 31 and the corresponding magnetic member 33, prevent the magnetic member 33 from falling off the shielding member 31, and ensure the normal operation of the aerosol generating device 100. In other embodiments, the shielding member 31 and the corresponding magnetic member 33 are separate structures, that is, the shielding member 31 and the corresponding magnetic member 33 are two different structures. The shielding member 31 and the corresponding magnetic member 33 can be combined using a detachable connection method or a 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.
[0046] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the shielding assembly 30 may not include the magnetic component 33. That is, the shielding assembly 30 includes a shielding component 31, and the shielding component 31 is a structure that has its own magnetic field. In other words, the shielding component 31 is a structural component that can magnetically attract other components through its own magnetic field. In this case, when the shielding assembly 30 is not subjected to external force, at least two shielding components 31 cooperate to jointly shield the heating cavity 11; when the shielding assembly 30 is subjected to external force, at least two shielding components 31 rotate relative to the body 10 to open the heating cavity 11.
[0047] Specifically, please combine Figure 4 In some embodiments, when the body 10 is disposed on the mating device 200 and the shielding component 30 is closer to the first end 201 of the mating device 200 than the second end 203 of the mating device 200, that is, when the aerosol generating device 100 is housed in the receiving groove 2301 and the proximal end 105 is closer to the first end 201 of the mating device 200 than the second end 203 of the mating device 200, the magnetic element 210 cooperates with the magnetic component 33 and drives at least two shielding components 31 to rotate relative to the body 10 to open the heating chamber 11, and the magnetic element 210 can keep the heating chamber 11 in a normally open state. In this case, the user can perform a cleaning operation on the heating chamber 11.
[0048] Please combine Figure 3When the main body 10 is disposed on the mating device 200, and the shielding component 30 is closer to the second end 203 of the mating device 200 than the first end 201 of the mating device 200, that is, when the aerosol generating device 100 is housed in the receiving groove 2301, and the proximal end 105 is closer to the second end 203 of the mating device 200 than the first end 201 of the mating device 200, there is no mating between the magnetic element 210 and the magnetic component 33, and at least two magnetic components 33 are mated so that at least two shielding components 31 jointly shield the heating chamber 11. In this case, the mating device 200 can realize the charging function of the aerosol generating device 100.
[0049] Understandably, when there is no engagement between the magnetic element 210 and the magnetic component 33, and the aerosol generating matrix is inserted into the heating chamber 11, the aerosol generating matrix can exert a force (pushing force) on the shielding assembly 30. This force can cause at least two shielding components 31 to rotate relative to the body 10 to open the heating chamber 11, thereby allowing at least a portion of the aerosol generating matrix to extend into the heating chamber 11. When the aerosol generating matrix is pulled out of the heating chamber 11, the force exerted by the aerosol generating matrix on the shielding assembly 30 disappears, and in this case, the shielding assembly 30 can re-shield the heating chamber 11.
[0050] In the aerosol generating apparatus 100 of this application embodiment, when the main body 10 is disposed on the mating device 200 and the shielding component 30 is closer to the first end 201 of the mating device 200 than the second end 203 of the mating device 200, the magnetic element 210 cooperates with the magnetic component 33 and drives at least two shielding components 31 to rotate relative to the main body 10 to open the heating chamber 11; when the main body 10 is disposed on the mating device 200 and the shielding component 30 is closer to the second end 203 of the mating device 200 than the first end 201 of the mating device 200, at least two magnetic components 33 cooperate so that at least two shielding components 31 jointly shield the heating chamber 11. Therefore, compared with conventional aerosol generating apparatuses, the shielding component 30 in this embodiment can prevent foreign objects from entering the heating chamber 11, ensure the normal installation of the aerosol generating matrix, and improve the stability and reliability of the aerosol generating apparatus 100.
[0051] In addition, the shielding member 31 in the present application embodiment includes at least two, and at least two shielding members 31 can rotate relative to the body 10 to shield or open the heating chamber 11. Therefore, compared to the shielding member 31 including only one, and the shielding member 31 moving relative to the body 10 to shield or open the heating chamber 11, the shielding member 31 in the present application embodiment occupies a smaller space, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the aerosol generating device 100.
[0052] Furthermore, when the main body 10 is disposed on the mating device 200, and the shielding component 30 is closer to the first end 201 of the mating device 200 than the second end 203 of the mating device 200, the magnetic element 210 and the magnetic component 33 cooperate to drive at least two shielding components 31 to rotate relative to the main body 10 to open the heating chamber 11. That is, the shielding component 30 can be in the state of opening the heating chamber 11 under the action of the magnetic element 210, which makes it convenient for the user to clean the heating chamber 11 and improves the user experience.
[0053] The aerosol generating device 100 will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0054] Please see Figures 2 to 4 In some embodiments, when the magnetic element 210 and the magnetic element 33 are not engaged, at least two magnetic elements 33 attract each other so that at least two shielding elements 31 jointly shield the heating cavity 11; when the magnetic element 210 and the magnetic element 33 are engaged, at least two shielding elements 31 rotate relative to the body 10 in a direction away from each other to open the heating cavity 11; when the engagement between the magnetic element 210 and the magnetic element 33 is disengaged, at least two magnetic elements 33 attract each other and drive at least two shielding elements 31 to rotate relative to the body 10 in a direction closer to each other so that at least two shielding elements 31 jointly shield the heating cavity 11.
[0055] Specifically, in some embodiments, at least two blocking members 31 include a first blocking member 311 and a second blocking member 313, and at least two magnetic members 33 include a first magnetic member 331 and a second magnetic member 333, with the first magnetic member 331 disposed on the first blocking member 311 and the second magnetic member 333 disposed on the second blocking member 313.
[0056] In the absence of engagement between magnetic element 210 and magnetic component 33, the opposite magnetic poles of the first magnetic component 331 and the second magnetic component 333 engage with each other, thereby attracting each other and preventing the first blocking component 311 and the second blocking component 313 from rotating relative to the body 10. This allows the first blocking component 311 and the second blocking component 313 to jointly block the heating cavity 11. When the blocking assembly 30 is subjected to external force, for example, when magnetic element 210 and magnetic component 33 are engaged, the magnetic force applied by magnetic element 210 can overcome the magnetic force (magnetic attraction) between the first magnetic component 331 and the second magnetic component 333, allowing the first... The shielding member 311 and the second shielding member 313 rotate relative to the body 10 in a direction away from each other, thereby opening the heating cavity 11. In this case, the first magnetic member 331 and the second magnetic member 333 still have a magnetic force between them, that is, the first magnetic member 331 and the second magnetic member 333 are still in an attractive state. When the heating cavity 11 is open and the magnetic element 210 and the magnetic member 33 are disengaged, the first magnetic member 331 and the second magnetic member 333 can be driven by the magnetic attraction between them to rotate the first shielding member 311 and the second shielding member 313 relative to the body 10 in a direction closer to each other, so that the first shielding member 311 and the second shielding member 313 jointly shield the heating cavity 11.
[0057] In summary, when the magnetic element 210 and the magnetic component 33 are not engaged or the engagement between the magnetic element 210 and the magnetic component 33 is disengaged, the shielding assembly 30 can always be in a state of shielding the heating cavity 11. This can improve the sealing effect of the shielding assembly 30 on the heating cavity 11, keep the heating cavity 11 in a normally closed state, and reduce the possibility of foreign objects entering the heating cavity 11.
[0058] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, when the shielding assembly 30 is in the state of shielding the heating cavity 11, the magnetic poles of at least two magnetic elements 33 are parallel and opposite. This makes the magnetic force between the at least two magnetic elements 33 magnetic attraction, ensuring that the magnetic element 210 can remain in the state of shielding the heating cavity 11 when there is no engagement between the magnetic element 210 and the magnetic element 33, reducing the possibility of foreign objects entering the heating cavity 11.
[0059] Specifically, in some embodiments, when at least two magnetic elements 33 include a first magnetic element 331 and a second magnetic element 333, the parallel and opposite magnetic pole directions of the at least two magnetic elements 33 can be: the direction from the N pole to the S pole of the first magnetic element 331 is parallel and opposite to the direction from the N pole to the S pole of the second magnetic element 333.
[0060] For example, when the shielding assembly 30 is in the state of shielding the heating cavity 11, the shielding assembly 30 includes a first side facing away from each other ( Figure 3 The uppermost side of the middle blocking component 30) and the second side ( Figure 3 (Lower side of the middle shielding component 30). In the direction from the first side to the second side of the shielding component 30, the magnetic poles of the first magnetic element 331 can be N pole and S pole in sequence, and the magnetic poles of the second magnetic element 333 can be S pole and N pole in sequence.
[0061] Furthermore, please combine Figure 4 In some embodiments, when the magnetic element 33 comprises two elements and the blocking assembly 30 is in the open heating cavity 11 state, the magnetic poles of the two magnetic elements 33 on the sides that are close to each other are opposite. Thus, even when the blocking assembly 30 is in the open heating cavity 11 state, a certain magnetic attraction can still exist between the two magnetic elements 33, thereby ensuring that the two magnetic elements 33 can drive the corresponding blocking element 31 to rotate relative to the body 10 in a direction that moves closer to each other, thereby allowing the blocking assembly 30 to change from the open heating cavity 11 state to the blocked heating cavity 11 state.
[0062] In some embodiments, when the shielding assembly 30 is shielding the heating chamber 11, at least two shielding members 31 are aligned along the length X of the aerosol generating device 100. That is, in the length X of the aerosol generating device 100, at least two shielding members 31 are equidistant from the center of the aerosol generating device 100. This improves the shielding effect of the shielding assembly 30 on the heating chamber 11, ensuring that the heating chamber 11 is completely sealed in the shielded state. It also reduces visual defects when the shielding assembly 30 shields the heating chamber 11, improving the visual effect of the aerosol generating device 100.
[0063] Since at least two magnetic elements 33 attract each other when there is no engagement between magnetic element 210 and magnetic element 33, when the engagement between magnetic element 210 and magnetic element 33 is released, or when the shielding assembly 30 is not subjected to external force, and drive at least two shielding elements 31 to rotate relative to the body 10 in a direction closer to each other, so that at least two shielding elements 31 jointly shield the heating cavity 11. That is, when there is no engagement between magnetic element 210 and magnetic element 33, when the engagement between magnetic element 210 and magnetic element 33 is released, or when the shielding assembly 30 is not subjected to external force, for example, when the aerosol generating matrix is pulled out of the heating cavity 11, the shielding assembly 30 can be reset to shield the heating cavity 11 again. Therefore, when the user needs to clean the heating cavity 11, the shielding assembly 30 will have an adverse effect on the cleaning operation. For example, when the aerosol generating matrix is broken in the heating cavity 11, the shielding assembly 30 will block the user from taking out the aerosol generating matrix from the heating cavity 11.
[0064] Therefore, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, at least two shielding members 31 include a first shielding member 311 and a second shielding member 313, and at least two magnetic members 33 include a first magnetic member 331 and a second magnetic member 333. The first magnetic member 331 is disposed on the first shielding member 311, and the second magnetic member 333 is disposed on the second shielding member 313. When the first magnetic member 331 cooperates with the magnetic element 210, the first magnetic member 331 drives the first shielding member 311 to rotate relative to the body 10. The first magnetic member 331 also cooperates with the second magnetic member 333 and drives the second shielding member 313 to rotate relative to the body 10, thereby opening the heating cavity 11. When the first magnetic member 331 is decoupled from the magnetic element 210, the first magnetic member 331 and the second magnetic member 333 cooperate and drive the first shielding member 311 and the second shielding member 313 to rotate relative to the body 10, thereby jointly shielding the heating cavity 11. The external force includes the magnetic force between the first magnetic member 331 and the second magnetic member 333.
[0065] Specifically, in some embodiments, when the aerosol generating device 100 is housed in the receiving groove 2301, the first magnetic element 331 cooperates with the magnetic element 210. In this case, the first magnetic element 331 drives the first blocking element 311 to rotate relative to the body 10, and the first magnetic element 331 also cooperates with the second magnetic element 333 to drive the second blocking element 313 to rotate relative to the body 10, thereby opening the heating chamber 11. When the aerosol generating device 100 is removed from the receiving groove 2301, the first magnetic element 331 is disengaged from the magnetic element 210. In this case, the first magnetic element 331 and the second magnetic element 333 cooperate, driving the first blocking element 311 and the second blocking element 313 to rotate relative to the body 10, thereby jointly blocking the heating chamber 11. Thus, when the first magnetic element 331 cooperates with the magnetic element 210, the blocking assembly 30 can be in the open heating chamber 11 state, thereby facilitating the user to clean the heating chamber 11 and improving the user experience.
[0066] In some embodiments, when the shielding assembly 30 is in the open heating chamber 11 state, the magnetic poles of the first magnetic element 331 and the magnetic element 210 on the side that are close to each other are opposite.
[0067] Specifically, in some embodiments, the magnetic element 210 may be a permanent magnet. When the aerosol generating device 100 is housed in the receiving groove 2301, the first magnetic element 331 cooperates with the magnetic element 210, that is, the first magnetic element 331 is located within the magnetic field range of the magnetic element 210, and the opposite magnetic poles of the first magnetic element 331 and the magnetic element 210 cooperate with each other. For example, the S pole of the first magnetic element 331 cooperates with the N pole of the magnetic element 210. This allows the magnetic element 210 to apply a magnetic attraction force to the first magnetic element 331, causing the first magnetic element 331 to drive the first blocking member 311 to rotate relative to the body 10.
[0068] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the magnetic element 210 may be an electromagnet. When the aerosol generating device 100 is housed in the receiving groove 2301, the magnetic element 210 is energized to apply a magnetic attraction force to the first magnetic element 331, thereby causing the first magnetic element 331 to drive the first blocking element 311 to rotate relative to the body 10. Further, in some embodiments, the mating device 200 may also include a position detection element, which is disposed in the housing 230 and used to detect whether the aerosol generating device 100 is housed in the receiving groove 2301. When the aerosol generating device 100 is housed in the receiving groove 2301, the position detection element can output a detection signal to the circuit board of the mating device 200, and the circuit board controls the magnetic element 210 to be energized based on the detection signal.
[0069] As described above, the magnetic force between the first magnetic element 331 and the second magnetic element 333 is a magnetic attraction force, and the magnetic force between the magnetic element 210 and the first magnetic element 331 is also a magnetic attraction force. Therefore, the magnetic force between the magnetic element 210 and the second magnetic element 333 is also a magnetic attraction force. If the magnetic force generated by the magnetic element 210 on the second magnetic element 333 is too large, the second magnetic element 333 will cause the second blocking element 313 to rotate relative to the body 10 under the action of the magnetic attraction force of the magnetic element 210, thereby blocking the heating cavity 11 and affecting the normal opening of the heating cavity 11. In some embodiments of this application, when the first magnetic element 331 and the magnetic element 210 cooperate, the magnetic force between the first magnetic element 331 and the second magnetic element 333 is greater than the magnetic force between the magnetic element 210 and the second magnetic element 333. This prevents the magnetic force generated by the magnetic element 210 on the second magnetic element 333 from being too large, which would cause the second magnetic element 333 to drive the second shielding element 313 to rotate relative to the body 10 to shield the heating cavity 11. This ensures the normal opening of the heating cavity 11 and improves the stability and reliability of the aerosol generation system 1000.
[0070] If the magnetic force between the first magnetic element 331 and the second magnetic element 333 is greater than the magnetic force between the magnetic element 210 and the first magnetic element 331, then when the first magnetic element 331 and the magnetic element 210 are engaged, the magnetic attraction between the magnetic element 210 and the first magnetic element 331 will be too small, causing the first magnetic element 331 to be unable to drive the first blocking member 311 to rotate relative to the body 10, thereby affecting the normal opening of the heating cavity 11. However, in some embodiments of this application, when the first magnetic element 331 and the magnetic element 210 are engaged, the magnetic force between the first magnetic element 331 and the second magnetic element 333 is less than the magnetic force between the magnetic element 210 and the first magnetic element 331. This ensures that when the first magnetic component 331 and the magnetic element 210 are engaged, the magnetic force between the first magnetic component 331 and the magnetic element 210 can overcome the magnetic force between the first magnetic component 331 and the second magnetic component 333, so that the first magnetic component 331 drives the first shielding component 311 to rotate relative to the body 10, thereby enabling the first shielding component 311 to open the heating chamber 11, ensuring the normal opening of the heating chamber 11, and improving the stability and reliability of the aerosol generation system 1000.
