[0044] In this specification, references to "one embodiment," "some embodiments," or simply "embodiment" mean that one or more embodiments of this application include a specific feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment. Therefore, the phrases "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," "in other embodiments," "in still other embodiments," etc., appearing in different parts of this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but rather mean "one or more, but not all, embodiments," unless otherwise specifically emphasized. Furthermore, in one or more embodiments, specific features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner.

[0045] An aerosol generating device is a product that atomizes an aerosol generating matrix into an aerosol through heating or other means. When a user inhales, the aerosol flows with the airflow generated by the user's inhalation and flows out of the aerosol generating device.

[0046] In related technologies, aerosol generating devices are single-flue aerosol generating devices, which have a storage chamber for a single flavor, satisfying the user's single taste requirement. However, users' taste preferences for aerosol generating devices can change due to factors such as mood, environment, and physical condition. Therefore, it is difficult for aerosol generating devices to meet the diverse needs of users.

[0047] In view of the above problems, this application provides an aerosol generating device to solve the technical problem that aerosol generating devices are difficult to meet the diverse needs of users.

[0048] To illustrate the technical solution of this application, the following description is provided in conjunction with specific accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0049] Please refer to Figures 1 to 10 This application provides an aerosol generating device, including a housing assembly 1, a first atomizing assembly 2, a second atomizing assembly 3, and an air regulating component 4.

[0050] The housing assembly 1 has a first liquid storage chamber 11 and a second liquid storage chamber 12; a first atomizing assembly 2 is housed in and connected to the first liquid storage chamber 11, and the first atomizing assembly 2 has a first atomizing channel 21 penetrating the first liquid storage chamber 11; a second atomizing assembly 3 is housed in and connected to the second liquid storage chamber 12, and the second atomizing assembly 3 has a second atomizing channel 31 penetrating the second liquid storage chamber 12; an air regulating component 4 is movably connected to the housing assembly 1, and the air regulating component 4 has a first air regulating hole 41 and a second air regulating hole 42; wherein, when the air regulating component 4 moves to a first preset position of the housing assembly 1, the first air regulating hole 41 is connected to the first atomizing channel 21; when the air regulating component 4 moves to a second preset position of the housing assembly 1, the second air regulating hole 42 is connected to the second atomizing channel 31.

[0051] Understandably, please refer to Figure 2 The first liquid storage chamber 11 is used to store the first aerosol generating matrix. The first atomizing component 2 is housed in and connected to the first liquid storage chamber 11. The first aerosol generating matrix in the first liquid storage chamber 11 can enter the first atomizing component 2. When the first atomizing component 2 is working, it can atomize the first aerosol generating matrix that has entered the first atomizing component 2, and generate the first aerosol in the first atomizing channel 21. When the gas regulating component 4 moves to the first preset position of the housing component 1, the first gas regulating hole 41 connects to the first atomizing channel 21. When the aerosol generating device is sucked in, the airflow will flow through the first gas regulating hole 41 and the first atomizing channel 21 in sequence, so that the airflow carries the first aerosol out of the aerosol generating device.

[0052] It should be noted that the ability of the first atomizing component 2 to atomize the first aerosol generating matrix entering the first atomizing component 2 and generate the first aerosol within the first atomization channel 21 means that the first atomizing component 2 can heat the first aerosol generating matrix entering the first atomizing component 2, raising the temperature of the first aerosol generating matrix to its atomization temperature, thereby transforming the first aerosol generating matrix into an inhalable first aerosol. Alternatively, the first atomizing component 2 can transform the first aerosol generating matrix into fine droplets through physical or mechanical means, that is, transform the first aerosol generating matrix into the first aerosol. The first atomizing component 2 can atomize the first aerosol generating matrix through atomization methods such as ultrasonic atomization or micro-mesh atomization.

[0053] Understandably, please refer to Figure 2The second liquid storage chamber 12 is used to store the second aerosol generating matrix. The second atomizing component 3 is housed in and connected to the second liquid storage chamber 12. The second aerosol generating matrix in the second liquid storage chamber 12 can enter the second atomizing component 3. When the second atomizing component 3 is working, it can atomize the second aerosol generating matrix that has entered the second atomizing component 3, and generate the second aerosol in the second atomizing channel 31. When the gas regulating component 4 moves to the second preset position of the housing component 1, the second gas regulating hole 42 connects to the second atomizing channel 31. When the aerosol generating device is sucked in, the airflow will flow through the second gas regulating hole 42 and the second atomizing channel 31 in sequence, so that the airflow carries the second aerosol out of the aerosol generating device.

[0054] It should be noted that the second atomizing group can atomize the second aerosol generating matrix entering the second atomizing component 3 and generate the second aerosol within the second atomizing channel 31. This means that the second atomizing component 3 can heat the second aerosol generating matrix entering the second atomizing component 3, raising its temperature to its atomization temperature, thus transforming the second aerosol generating matrix into an inhalable second aerosol. Alternatively, the second atomizing component 3 can convert the second aerosol generating matrix into fine droplets through physical or mechanical means, i.e., convert the second aerosol generating matrix into the second aerosol. The second atomizing component 3 can atomize the second aerosol generating matrix using atomization methods such as ultrasonic atomization or micro-mesh atomization.

[0055] In the aerosol generating device provided in this application, when the first atomizing component 2 is working, it can atomize the first aerosol generating matrix in the first liquid storage chamber 11 to generate the first aerosol in the first atomizing channel 21; when the second atomizing component 3 is working, it can atomize the second aerosol generating matrix in the second liquid storage chamber 12 to generate the second aerosol in the second atomizing channel 31; since the first air regulating hole 41 is connected to the first atomizing channel 21 when the aerosol generating device is sucked, the airflow can flow through the first air regulating hole 41 and the first atomizing channel 21 in sequence, so that the first aerosol flows out of the aerosol generating device; since the second air regulating hole 42 is connected to the second atomizing channel 31 when the air regulating component 4 is moved to the second preset position of the housing component 1, the airflow can flow through the second air regulating hole 42 and the second atomizing channel 31 in sequence when the aerosol generating device is sucked, so that the second aerosol flows out of the aerosol generating device. Users can adjust the position of the gas regulating component 4 according to their needs to adjust the flavor of the aerosol generator, so that the aerosol generator can meet the user's various needs.

[0056] Optionally, the first aerosol generating matrix and the second aerosol generating matrix may have different compositions. For example, the first aerosol generating matrix and the second aerosol generating matrix may be e-liquids with different compositions, and the composition and flavor of the first aerosol generated after the first atomizing component 2 atomizes the first aerosol generating matrix and the second aerosol generated after the second atomizing component 3 atomize the second aerosol generating matrix may be different.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the aerosol generating device further includes a control component 5, which includes a control element 51, a first trigger element 52, and a second trigger element 53. The control element 51 is electrically connected to the first atomizing component 2 and the second atomizing component 3, respectively. The first trigger element 52 is disposed on the control element 51. The second trigger element 53 is disposed on the gas regulating component 4, and the second trigger element 53 moves with the gas regulating component 4, moving closer to or away from the first trigger element 52. The control element 51 is configured such that when the distance between the second trigger element 53 and the first trigger element 52 is greater than a preset distance, the first atomizing component 2 operates in a first mode. The control element 51 is also configured such that when the distance between the second trigger element 53 and the first trigger element 52 is less than or equal to the preset distance, the second atomizing component 3 operates in a second mode. Furthermore, when the gas regulating component 4 moves to a first preset position of the housing component 1, the distance between the second trigger element 53 and the first trigger element 52 is greater than the preset distance. When the air regulating component 4 moves to the second preset position of the housing assembly 1, the distance between the second trigger element 53 and the first trigger element 52 is less than or equal to the preset distance.

[0058] In the above embodiments, when the gas regulating component 4 moves to the first preset position of the housing assembly 1, the first gas regulating hole 41 connects to the first atomizing channel 21, and the first atomizing component 2 operates in a first mode, so that the first aerosol generating matrix in the first liquid storage chamber 11 can be atomized by the first atomizing component 2, thereby generating the first aerosol in the first atomizing channel 21, allowing the user to inhale the first aerosol when inhaling the aerosol generating device. When the gas regulating component 4 moves to the second preset position of the housing assembly 1, the second gas regulating hole 42 connects to the second atomizing channel 31, and the second atomizing component 3 operates in a second mode, so that the second aerosol generating matrix in the second liquid storage chamber 12 can be atomized by the second atomizing component 3, thereby generating the second aerosol in the second atomizing channel 31, allowing the user to inhale the second aerosol when inhaling the aerosol generating device.

[0059] It is understood that the control unit 51 is equipped with a first circuit connected in series with the first atomizing component 2 and a second circuit connected in series with the second atomizing component 3. The first trigger element 52 and the second trigger element 53 form a proximity switch for switching between the first circuit and the second circuit; when the second trigger element 53 moves to a distance greater than a preset distance from the first trigger element 52, the control unit 51 is activated to switch the circuit, making the first circuit conduct, thereby enabling the first atomizing component 2 to work; when the second trigger element 53 moves to a distance less than or equal to the preset distance from the first trigger element 52, the control unit 51 is activated to switch the circuit, making the second circuit conduct, thereby enabling the second atomizing component 3 to work.

[0060] It should be noted that the proximity switch composed of the first trigger element 52 and the second trigger element 53 is a contactless limit switch. It utilizes the change in distance between the first trigger element 52 and the second trigger element 53 to alter the magnetic field, thereby triggering the circuit to open or close. Proximity switches include, but are not limited to, inductive proximity switches, capacitive proximity switches, and Hall effect proximity switches.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, one of the first trigger element 52 and the second trigger element 53 is a Hall sensor, and the other of the first trigger element 52 and the second trigger element 53 is a magnet.

[0062] In the above embodiment, the first trigger element 52 and the second trigger element 53 form a Hall effect proximity switch. Utilizing the Hall effect principle, when the magnet moves away from the Hall sensor, the Hall sensor outputs a first signal, and the control element 51 is activated, causing the first circuit to be turned on and the first atomizing component 2 to work; when the magnet moves close to the Hall sensor, the Hall sensor outputs a second signal, and the control element 51 is activated, causing the second circuit to be turned on and the second atomizing component 3 to work.

[0063] In some implementations, in the first mode, the operating power of the first atomizing component 2 is a first power; in the second mode, the operating power of the second atomizing component 3 is a second power; the first power is less than the second power.

[0064] Understandably, the higher the operating power of the atomizing component, the more aerosol-generating matrix it can atomize per unit time, thus generating more aerosols. When the user inhales the aerosol-generating matrix, the concentration of the outflowing aerosol-generating matrix is ​​higher. Furthermore, in heated atomizing components, the higher the operating power, the higher the temperature at which the aerosol-generating matrix is ​​atomized, resulting in a richer flavor.

[0065] In the above embodiment, the concentration of the first aerosol generated by the first atomizing component 2 operating at a first power is lower than that of the second aerosol generated by the second atomizing component 3 operating at a second power. When the first atomizing component 2 and the second atomizing component 3 are heated atomizing components, the flavor of the second aerosol generated by the second atomizing component 3 operating at a second power is more concentrated than the flavor of the first aerosol generated by the first atomizing component 2 operating at a first power. This results in a difference in flavor between the first aerosol and the second aerosol.

[0066] Optionally, the first aerosol generating matrix and the second aerosol generating matrix can have the same composition. For example, both the first and second aerosol generating matrices can be e-liquid. The first aerosol generated after the first atomizing component 2 atomizes the first aerosol generating matrix, and the second aerosol generated after the second atomizing component 3 atomize the second aerosol generating matrix, have the same composition and flavor. When the user prefers a high concentration and strong flavor aerosol, the vapor adjustment component 4 can be moved to the second preset position of the housing component 1; when the user prefers a low concentration and mild flavor aerosol, the vapor adjustment component 4 can be moved to the first preset position of the housing component 1.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the housing assembly 1 is provided with a first stop structure 13 and a second stop structure 14, and the air regulating component 4 is provided with a third stop structure 43. When the air regulating component 4 moves to a first preset position of the housing assembly 1, the third stop structure 43 is adapted to the first stop structure 13. When the air regulating component 4 moves to a second preset position of the housing assembly 1, the third stop structure 43 is adapted to the second stop structure 14.

[0068] In the above embodiments, the first stop structure 13 and the third stop structure 43 cooperate to perform a positioning function, so that the air regulating component 4 can move more accurately to the first preset position of the housing assembly 1. The second stop structure 14 and the third stop structure 43 cooperate to perform a positioning function, so that the air regulating component 4 can move more accurately to the second preset position of the housing assembly 1.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the first stop structure 13 and the second stop structure 14 are slots, and the third stop structure 43 is a protrusion adapted to the slot.

[0070] In the above embodiment, the surface of the third stop structure 43 facing the housing assembly 1 is an arc surface protruding towards the housing assembly 1. When the air regulating member 4 moves between the first preset position and the second preset position of the housing assembly 1, the arc surface facilitates the third stop structure 43 to engage with the first stop structure 13 and the second stop structure 14, and facilitates the third stop structure 43 to disengage from the first stop structure 13 and the second stop structure 14.

[0071] In other embodiments, the first stop structure 13 and the second stop structure 14 are protrusions, and the third stop structure 43 is a slot adapted to the protrusions.

[0072] In the above embodiment, the surface of the first stop structure 13 facing the air regulator 4 and the surface of the second stop structure 14 facing the air regulator 4 are arc surfaces protruding towards the air regulator 4. When the air regulator 4 moves between the first preset position and the second preset position of the housing assembly 1, the arc surfaces facilitate the engagement of the first stop structure 13 and the second stop structure 14 with the third stop structure 43, and facilitate the disengagement of the first stop structure 13 and the second stop structure 14 from the third stop structure 43.

[0073] In the above embodiments, the slot and the protrusion cooperate to limit the movement. When the air regulating component 4 is located at the first preset position and the second preset position of the housing assembly 1, the slot and the protrusion engage to prevent the air regulating component 4 from moving due to shaking.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the housing assembly 1 has a contact surface 15, and the air regulating component 4 is movably attached to the contact surface 15. The contact surface 15 has a first air inlet 16 communicating with the first atomizing channel 21 and a second air inlet 17 communicating with the second atomizing channel 31. The air regulating component 4 is movably attached to the end faces surrounding the first air inlet 16 and the second air inlet 17. Please refer to... Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 When the air regulating component 4 moves to the first preset position of the housing assembly 1, the first air regulating hole 41 communicates with the first air inlet 16, and the second air regulating hole 42 is offset from the second air inlet 17. Please refer to... Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 When the air regulating component 4 moves to the second preset position of the housing assembly 1, the first air regulating hole 41 is misaligned with the first air inlet 16, and the second air regulating hole 42 is connected to the second air inlet 17.

[0075] It should be noted that the misalignment of the second air regulating hole 42 and the second air inlet 17 means that the air regulating component 4 covers the second air inlet 17, and the housing assembly 1 covers the opening of the second air regulating hole 42 facing the second air inlet 17, so that the second air regulating hole 42 is disconnected from the second air inlet 17. At this time, the airflow will not flow into the second air inlet 17 and the second atomizing channel 31 through the second air regulating hole 42.

[0076] It should be noted that the misalignment of the first air regulating hole 41 and the first air inlet 16 means that the air regulating component 4 covers the first air inlet 16, and the housing assembly 1 covers the opening of the first air regulating hole 41 facing the first air inlet 16, so that the first air regulating hole 41 is disconnected from the first air inlet 16. At this time, the airflow will not flow into the first air inlet 16 and the first atomizing channel 21 through the first air regulating hole 41.

[0077] In the above embodiment, when the air regulating component 4 moves to the first preset position of the housing assembly 1, the first air regulating hole 41 is connected to the first air inlet 16, the second air regulating hole 42 is misaligned with the second air inlet 17 (i.e. the second air regulating hole 42 is disconnected from the second air inlet 17), the distance between the second trigger element 53 and the first trigger element 52 is greater than the preset distance, the first atomizing component 2 works in the first mode, so that the first atomizing component 2 can atomize the first aerosol generating matrix to generate the first aerosol in the first atomizing channel 21, and when the user inhales the aerosol generating device, the first aerosol is inhaled by the user. When the air regulating component 4 moves to the second preset position of the housing assembly 1, the first air regulating hole 41 and the first air inlet 16 are misaligned (i.e., the first air regulating hole 41 and the first air inlet 16 are disconnected), the second air regulating hole 42 is connected to the second air inlet 17, the distance between the second trigger element 53 and the first trigger element 52 is less than or equal to the preset distance, the second atomizing component 3 operates in the second mode, so that the second atomizing component 3 can atomize the second aerosol generating matrix to generate the second aerosol in the second atomizing channel 31, and the second aerosol is inhaled by the user when the user inhales the aerosol generating device.

[0078] In some embodiments, when the air regulating component 4 moves to a first preset position of the housing assembly 1, the air intake area of ​​the first air inlet 16 is a first area. When the air regulating component 4 moves to a second preset position of the housing assembly 1, the air intake area of ​​the second air inlet 17 is a second area. The first area is smaller than the second area.

[0079] In the above embodiment, when the gas regulating component 4 moves to the first preset position of the housing assembly 1, the suction resistance of the aerosol generating device is the first suction resistance; when the gas regulating component 4 moves to the second preset position of the housing assembly 1, the suction resistance of the aerosol generating device is the second suction resistance; since the first area is smaller than the second area, the first suction resistance is greater than the second suction resistance.

[0080] It is understood that in the above embodiment, when the air regulating component 4 moves to the first preset position of the housing assembly 1, the second air regulating hole 42 and the second air inlet 17 are misaligned (i.e., the second air regulating hole 42 and the second air inlet 17 are disconnected), the first air regulating hole 41 is connected to the first air inlet 16, and the suction resistance of the aerosol generating device is the first suction resistance; the distance between the second trigger element 53 and the first trigger element 52 is greater than the preset distance, the first atomizing component 2 works in the first mode, the working rate of the first atomizing component 2 is the first power, so that the first atomizing component 2 can atomize the first aerosol generating matrix to generate the first aerosol in the first atomizing channel 21. When the user inhales the aerosol generating device, the airflow flows through the first air regulating hole 41, the first air inlet 16 and the first atomizing channel 21 in sequence, so that the first aerosol can be inhaled by the user. When the air regulating component 4 moves to the second preset position of the housing assembly 1, the first air regulating hole 41 and the first air inlet 16 are misaligned (i.e., the first air regulating hole 41 and the first air inlet 16 are disconnected), the second air regulating hole 42 is connected to the second air inlet 17, and the suction resistance of the aerosol generating device is the second suction resistance; the distance between the second trigger element 53 and the first trigger element 52 is less than or equal to the preset distance, the second atomizing component 3 works in the second mode, the working rate of the second atomizing component 3 is the second power, so that the second atomizing component 3 can atomize the second aerosol generating matrix to generate the second aerosol in the second atomizing channel 31. When the user inhales the aerosol generating device, the airflow flows through the second air regulating hole 42, the second air inlet 17 and the second atomizing channel 31 in sequence, and the second aerosol is inhaled by the user. In summary, when the air regulating component 4 moves to the first preset position of the housing assembly 1, the aerosol generating device operates at a first power (the operating power of the first atomizing component 2) and a first draw resistance, placing the aerosol generating device in mouth-to-lung inhalation mode. When the air regulating component 4 moves to the second preset position of the housing assembly 1, the aerosol generating device operates at a second power (the operating power of the second atomizing component 3) and a second draw resistance, placing the aerosol generating device in lung-to-lung inhalation mode. This provides both mouth-to-lung and lung-to-lung inhalation modes, thereby improving the user experience of the aerosol generating device.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 4In some embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the first air regulating hole 41 is the same as that of the first air inlet 16. When the first air regulating hole 41 and the first air inlet 16 are connected, the opening of the first air regulating hole 41 facing the first air inlet 16 is directly opposite to the first air inlet 16 (i.e., the center of the opening of the first air regulating hole 41 facing the first air inlet 16 and the center of the first air inlet 16 are radially zero apart in the first air inlet 16). The cross-sectional shape of the second air regulating hole 42 is the same as that of the second air inlet 17. When the second air regulating hole 42 and the second air inlet 17 are connected, the opening of the second air regulating hole 42 facing the second air inlet 17 is directly opposite to the second air inlet 17 (i.e., the center of the opening of the second air regulating hole 42 facing the second air inlet 17 and the center of the second air inlet 17 are radially zero apart in the second air inlet 17). The area of ​​the first air inlet 16 is larger than the area of ​​the second air inlet 17, such that the first area is smaller than the second area.

[0082] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the gas regulating component 4 is rotatably connected to the housing assembly 1, the first gas regulating hole 41 and the second gas regulating hole 42 are located on opposite sides of the rotation axis of the gas regulating component 4, and the first air inlet 16 and the second air inlet 17 are located on opposite sides of the rotation axis of the gas regulating component 4, so as to make the structure of the aerosol generating device more compact.

[0083] Please refer to Figure 5 In the above embodiment, the first stop structure 13 and the second stop structure 14 are located on opposite sides of the rotation axis of the air regulating member 4.

[0084] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the air regulating component 4 is provided with a first limiting structure 44, which is located on one side of the rotation axis of the air regulating component 4. The housing assembly 1 is provided with a second limiting structure 18. One of the first limiting structure 44 and the second limiting structure 18 is a limiting post, and the other of the first limiting structure 44 and the second limiting structure 18 is an arc-shaped groove. The limiting post is slidably disposed in the arc-shaped groove.

[0085] In the above embodiment, the limiting post is slidably disposed in the arc-shaped groove, which can limit the rotation path of the air regulating component 4, thereby improving the rotation accuracy of the air regulating component 4.

[0086] In the above embodiment, the arc-shaped groove is a sliding groove that protrudes away from the rotation axis of the air regulating component 4.

[0087] Please refer to Figure 4In some embodiments, the housing assembly 1 further includes a first sealing ring 19 and a second sealing ring 110. The first sealing ring 19 is arranged around the first air inlet 16, and the second sealing ring 110 is arranged around the second air inlet 17. The air regulating member 4 abuts against the first sealing ring 19 and the second sealing ring 110.

[0088] In the above embodiment, the first sealing ring 19 can prevent gas from entering the first air inlet 16 through the gap between the gas regulating member 4 and the end face around the first air inlet 16, and the second sealing ring 110 can prevent gas from entering the second air inlet 17 through the gap between the gas regulating member 4 and the end face around the second air inlet 17.
