[0035] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0036] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0037] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0038] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0039] Please see the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 This embodiment relates to a charging case that can be used in conjunction with an aerosol generating device 100. The aerosol generating device 100 can be used in conjunction with an aerosol generating matrix, which, when heated, can generate aerosols for users to inhale. This charging case can be used to store the aerosol generating device 100 and also to charge it, thereby meeting users' battery life needs and avoiding battery anxiety.

[0040] This charging case includes a main body 1, a first cover 2, and a pop-out assembly 3. The main body 1 has a chamber 11 for housing an aerosol generating device 100, and the chamber 11 has an inlet 111 through which the aerosol generating device 100 passes. The first cover 2 is connected to the main body 1 and has a first state with the inlet 111 closed and a second state with the inlet 111 open. The pop-out assembly 3 is disposed inside the main body 1. When the first cover 2 is adjusted from the second state to the first state, the first cover 2 pushes the aerosol generating device 100 to squeeze the pop-out assembly 3. When the first cover 2 is switched from the first state to the second state, the pop-out assembly 3 provides elasticity to push at least a portion of the aerosol generating device 100 through the inlet 111 and protrude outside the main body 1.

[0041] Specifically, the main body 1 is a cubic box-shaped structure, and the interior of the main body 1 is provided with a chamber 11 that matches the shape and size of the aerosol generating device 100. In this embodiment, to accommodate the cylindrical aerosol generating device 100, the chamber 11 is constructed as an elongated cylindrical groove. A circular inlet 111 is formed at one end of the chamber 11 for inserting the aerosol generating device 100 into the chamber 11 through the inlet 111, or for removing the aerosol generating device 100 from the chamber 11 through the inlet 111.

[0042] The first cover 2 is connected to the main body 1, specifically through a hinge shaft, allowing the user to manually open or close it by rotating the first cover 2, thereby opening or closing the inlet 111. When the first cover 2 is in the first state, it is magnetically connected to the main body 1. Specifically, the first cover 2 and the main body 1 are respectively provided with two permanent magnets of opposite polarity. When the first cover 2 is attached to the main body 1, the magnetic attraction of the two permanent magnets enables the first cover 2 to be magnetically connected to the main body 1. Even if the user inverts the entire charging case, the first cover 2 cannot be freely detached to open the inlet 111, thus preventing the aerosol generating device 100 from detaching from the chamber 11. Of course, the first cover 2 can also be connected to the main body 1 by a snap-fit ​​method, which can also ensure that the first cover 2 stably closes the inlet 111.

[0043] Furthermore, as the user pushes the first cover 2 to engage with the main body 1, the first cover 2 pushes one end of the aerosol generating device 100, causing the other end of the aerosol generating device 100 to continuously compress the ejector component 3, thereby storing energy in the ejector component 3. When the first cover 2 is in the first state, the aerosol generating device 100 is completely contained within the chamber 11. At this time, the ejector component 3 reaches its maximum energy storage, and the user can release the pressing action. Due to the magnetic attraction or snap-fit ​​effect between the first cover 2 and the main body 1, the maximum energy storage of the ejector component 3 is insufficient to overcome the connection between the first cover 2 and the main body 1 and open the first cover 2. The first cover 2 continuously closes the inlet 111, and at this time, the charging box can charge the aerosol generating device 100. When the aerosol generating device 100 is fully charged, the charging box can prompt the user to manually open the first cover 2. Alternatively, even if the aerosol generating device 100 is not fully charged, the user can manually release the latch or manually detach the first cover 2 from the main body 1 to release the magnetic attraction when the aerosol generating device 100 needs to be used. At this time, the energy stored in the pop-out component 3 is released, and the aerosol generating device 100 can be pushed by the elastic force so that at least part of the aerosol generating device 100 is exposed outside the main body 1.

[0044] It should be noted that at least a portion of the aerosol generating device 100 may include a mouthpiece, either whole or part, for the user to hold in their mouth, so that after the energy stored in the ejector component 3 is fully released, the user can directly perform suction without removing the aerosol generating device 100, thus improving convenience.

[0045] In this embodiment, the charging box can automatically pop out the aerosol generating device 100 through the pop-out component 3, which completely avoids the need for the user to flip the charging box and shake it to pour out the aerosol generating device 100. This effectively simplifies the operation steps and avoids the user having to perform the above-mentioned complete operation with both hands, making it convenient for the user to operate and improving the user's convenience and experience.

[0046] Optionally, the pop-out component 3 includes a first elastic element 31, one end of which abuts against the aerosol generating device 100, and the other end of which abuts against the main body 1.

[0047] Specifically, the first elastic element 31 includes, but is not limited to, structures such as ordinary springs, spring dampers, and spring plungers.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first elastic element 31 is a common spring, which is low in cost and compact in structure.

[0049] Furthermore, the pop-out component 3 also includes an abutment 32, one end of which abuts against the aerosol generating device 100, and one end of the first elastic member 31 abuts against the other end of the abutment 32.

[0050] Specifically, the first elastic element 31 and the aerosol generating device 100 can be connected by an abutment member 32 to redistribute the thrust. The first elastic element 31 is a columnar structure. One end of the abutment member 32 can abut against one end of the aerosol generating device 100, and the other end is provided with a limiting groove 321, which is an annular groove. One end of the first elastic element 31 is inserted into the limiting groove 321 and abuts against the bottom wall of the limiting groove 321. The inner wall of the limiting groove 321 constrains the first elastic element 31, keeping it stable during elastic deformation and elastic recovery, thereby ensuring the service life of the first elastic element 31. The abutment member 32 and the limiting groove 321 formed on the abutment member 32 can further improve the assemblability of the pop-out assembly 3.

[0051] Please see the appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 4 Optionally, the main body 1 is provided with a conductive component 5, which is used to electrically connect with the aerosol generating device 100 so that the main body 1 can charge the aerosol generating device 100. When the first cover 2 is adjusted from the second state to the first state, the conductive component 5 elastically abuts against the electrical connection end of the aerosol generating device 100. The conductive component 5 includes a conductive element 51, a mounting sleeve 52, and a second elastic element 53. The mounting sleeve 52 is fixed to the end of the pop-out component 3 that contacts the aerosol generating device 100. The conductive element 51 is disposed on the mounting sleeve 52, and one end of the conductive element 51 is used to abut against the electrical connection end of the aerosol generating device 100. The second elastic element 53 is disposed in the mounting sleeve 52 and is used to provide elastic force to the conductive element 51.

[0052] Specifically, the mounting sleeve 52 is a sleeve structure, and the conductive element 51 is a cylindrical structure with one end forming a spherical surface to form an electrical connection end, which abuts against the electrical connection end of the aerosol generating device 100. The conductive element 51 passes through the mounting sleeve 52 axially and can slide axially inside the mounting sleeve 52. The second elastic element 53 is disposed inside the mounting sleeve 52, and its two ends abut against the circumferentially protruding limiting platform of the conductive element 51 and the inner wall of the mounting sleeve 52, respectively. When the conductive element 51 moves downward, it compresses the second elastic element 53. When the downward pressure of the conductive element 51 is removed, the second elastic element 53 elastically recovers and presses the conductive element 51 back to its original position.

[0053] In this embodiment, when the first cover 2 is adjusted from the second state to the first state, the first cover 2 compresses the aerosol generating device 100 downwards and, during the movement, contacts the electrical connection terminal of the aerosol generating device 100. As the aerosol generating device 100 continues to move downwards, the conductive element 51 moves downwards and compresses the second elastic element 53, thereby creating a certain compressive force between the electrical connection terminal of the conductive element 51 and the electrical connection terminal of the aerosol generating device 100, reducing the contact resistance and ensuring the stability of the electrical connection between the conductive component 5 and the aerosol generating device 100. In this embodiment, two sets of conductive components 5 are provided, which are respectively used to conduct electricity to the positive and negative connection terminals of the aerosol generating device 100.

[0054] Furthermore, the main body 1 is provided with a charging module 13, which is used to charge the aerosol generating device 100.

[0055] Specifically, the conductive component 5 is plugged into and fixed to the abutment 32. The end of the conductive component 51 away from the aerosol generating device 100 can be welded to the guide wire and electrically connected to the charging module 13. The charging module 13 charges the aerosol generating device 100 through the conductive component 5.

[0056] Optionally, the main body 1 is provided with a main power supply 12, and an external power supply charges the main power supply 12 and / or the aerosol generating device 100 through a charging module 13.

[0057] Specifically, the main body 1 has an installation structure inside for fixing the main power supply 12. The main power supply 12 can be a battery for storing electrical energy. The charging module 13 includes a charging circuit board 132 and a charging interface 131 set on the charging circuit board 132. The charging interface 131 can be an existing Type-C interface. The charging interface 131 faces the bottom of the charging box. It can be connected to the main power supply 12 by connecting a Type-C charging cable to an external power source, or directly charge the aerosol generating device 100 by connecting a Type-C charging cable to an external power source.

[0058] It should be noted that after the external power supply is connected to the Type-C charging cable and the Type-C interface, if the chamber 11 is idle, the external power supply can charge the main power supply 12 independently. When the main power supply 12 is fully charged or has a partial charge, the Type-C charging cable and the external power supply can be removed, and the low-charge aerosol generating device 100 can be placed into the chamber 11, then charged by the main power supply 12. Of course, without removing the Type-C charging cable and the external power supply, the external power supply can also charge the aerosol generating device 100 through the main power supply 12. Furthermore, without removing the Type-C charging cable and the external power supply, the external power supply can directly charge the aerosol generating device 100 through the charging module 13. This allows for over 100 charging modes for the aerosol generating device 100 under various conditions, ensuring a superior user experience.

[0059] Furthermore, the aerosol generating device 100 includes a power supply body 110 and an atomizer 120. The atomizer 120 is detachably connected to the power supply body 110. The power supply body 110 is used to supply power to the atomizer 120 so that the atomizer 120 generates aerosol. The main body 1 is provided with a receiving cavity 14 for storing the atomizer 120.

[0060] In this embodiment, the aerosol generating device 100 includes a power supply body 110 and an atomizer 120. The atomizer 120 stores an atomizing matrix capable of generating aerosols, and also has an atomizing structure, air passages, and a mouthpiece structure for the user to hold in their mouth. The power supply body 110 includes a power supply module. The atomizer 120 can be fixed to the power supply body 110 by means of threaded connection or magnetic attraction connection, etc. The power supply module supplies power to the atomizer 120 to enable the atomizer 120 to generate aerosols.

[0061] Specifically, a cuboid receiving cavity 14 is formed on the main body 1, adjacent to the chamber 11. Multiple atomizers 120 can be inserted side by side inside the receiving cavity 14, so that users can conveniently carry multiple atomizers 120 when carrying the charging case. In addition, different atomizers 120 can store different flavored atomization bases, providing users with a variety of atomizers 120 to choose from during use.

[0062] The atomization structure, airway, nozzle structure, and power supply module mentioned above are not the core improvement solutions of this application. Those skilled in the art can choose existing structures or make appropriate improvements based on existing structures. This application will not elaborate on the examples and principles of the above structures.

[0063] Optionally, the receiving cavity 14 has an opening for the atomizer 120 to pass through, and the charging case also includes a second cover 4 for opening or closing the opening.

[0064] Specifically, based on the parallel arrangement of the receiving cavity 14 and the chamber 11, the second cover 4 and the first cover 2 are also arranged in parallel. The second cover 4 is hinged to the main body 1. At the same time, the second cover 4 can be fixed to the main body 1 by magnetic attraction or snap-fit, so as to prevent the second cover 4 from opening freely.

[0065] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
