It should be noted that when an element is described as "locked" to another element, it can be directly on the other element, or one or more intermediate elements may exist between them. When an element is described as "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element, or one or more intermediate elements may exist between them. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this specification are for illustrative purposes only.

[0040] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The term "and / or" as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0041] Please see Figures 1-4This utility model provides a charging device 100, which includes a housing assembly 1, a moving assembly 2, and a first elastic member 3. The housing assembly 1 is provided with a receiving groove 111 for the aerosol generating device 200 to be inserted into. The moving assembly 2 is disposed within the housing assembly 1 and includes a moving member 21 and a locking rod 22. The moving member 21 is partially disposed within the receiving groove 111 and is used for detachable connection with the aerosol generating device 200. The locking rod 22 is connected to the housing assembly 1 and the moving member 21. The first elastic member 3 is disposed within the housing assembly 1 and is connected to the housing assembly 1 and the moving member 21. The moving member 21 can move between a first position and a second position. When the moving member 21 is in the first position, the aerosol generating device 200 can be inserted into or removed from the receiving groove 111. When the moving member 21 is in the second position, the locking rod 22 locks the moving member 21, and the moving member 21 is used to fix it to the aerosol generating device 200. By pressing the aerosol generating device 200, the moving part 21 and the locking lever 22 are pushed to move, causing the locking lever 22 to release the moving part 21. Then, the aerosol generating device 200 is released, and under the action of the first elastic member 3, the moving part 21 is driven to move from the second position to the first position, so that the moving part 21 is released from the aerosol generating device 200. Then, the aerosol generating device 200 is taken out, improving the continuity of the operation of taking out the aerosol generating device 200.

[0042] In some embodiments, the moving member 21 can move between a first position, a third position, and a second position, with the third position located between the first and second positions. In the third position, the user releases the aerosol generating device 200 to move the moving member 21 from the third position to the second position under the drive of the first elastic member 3.

The elastic arm 211 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​structure 2111 for snapping with the second snap-fit ​​structure 201. When the moving part 21 is in the third position, the elastic arm 211 is inserted into the receiving groove 111 and abuts against the sidewall of the receiving groove 111, eliminating the gap between the elastic arm 211 and the sidewall of the receiving groove 111, so as to prevent the first snap-fit ​​structure 2111 from separating from the second snap-fit ​​structure 201, thereby preventing the aerosol generating device 200 from falling off.

[0044] In some embodiments, when the moving member 21 is located at any position between the first position and the second position (any position includes the first position but not the second position), the first engaging structure 2111 is used to engage or disengage with the second engaging structure 201. Specifically, when the aerosol generating device 200 is inserted into or removed from the receiving slot 111, the elastic arm 211 deforms to engage or disengage the second engaging structure 201 with the first engaging structure 2111. As an example, when the moving member 21 is located at the first position, the first engaging structure 2111 is used to engage or disengage with the second engaging structure 201.

When the user inserts the aerosol generating device 200 into the receiving groove 111 and presses the aerosol generating device 200 (e.g., ...), the user can move the device. Figure 8 As shown), the aerosol generating device 200 pushes the moving part 21 from the first position to the third position until the moving part 21 is in the third position (as shown). Figure 9 As shown), the user releases the aerosol generating device 200, and under the drive of the first elastic element 3, the moving element 21 moves from the third position to the second position, so that when the moving element 21 is in the second position, the locking rod 22 abuts against the side wall of the first guide groove 2121 (as shown). Figure 10 As shown), the moving part 21 is fixed, thereby fixing the aerosol generating device 200. When the user presses the aerosol generating device 200, the moving part 21 is pushed to move, so that the locking rod 22 is released from the side wall of the first guide groove 2121 and moves along the first guide groove 2121. Then the user releases the aerosol generating device 200, and under the drive of the first elastic member 3, the moving part 21 moves from the second position to the first position (as shown).
