[0049] This application provides an aerosol generating device, see below. Figures 1 to 4 The aerosol generating device includes an atomizer 10, a first power supply component 20, and a second power supply component 30.

[0050] Rotational engagement between the first power supply assembly 20 and the second power supply assembly 30.

[0051] The aerosol generating device includes a first state and a second state.

[0052] In the first state, the first power supply assembly 20 and the second power supply assembly 30 are arranged along a first direction, and at least one of them is electrically connected to the atomizer 10.

[0053] In the second state, the first power supply assembly 20 and the second power supply assembly 30 are arranged along a second direction, the first direction intersects the second direction, and at least one of them is electrically connected to the atomizer 10.

[0054] The first power supply assembly 20 and the second power supply assembly 30 rotate relative to each other to switch between the first state and the second state.

[0055] The atomizer 10 is equipped with an atomizing core that can come into contact with the aerosol generating matrix inside the atomizer 10. The aerosol generating matrix is ​​atomized by means of heating or other methods. The atomized aerosol generating matrix mixes with the airflow inside the atomizer 10 to form an aerosol. The aerosol is discharged outside the atomizer 10 through the air outlet channel for the user to inhale.

[0056] Both the first power supply component 20 and the second power supply component 30 are capable of outputting electrical energy.

[0057] Rotational engagement between the first power supply component 20 and the second power supply component 30 means that, with the first power supply component 20 as a reference, the second power supply component 30 can rotate relative to the first power supply component 20 so that the relative position between the two changes, and at the same time, the outer contour shape of the aerosol generating device changes.

[0058] The first state and the second state refer to two states in which the aerosol generating device has different outer contour shapes.

[0059] In a first state, at least one of the first power supply component 20 and the second power supply component 30 is capable of supplying power to the atomizer 10; in a second state, at least one of the first power supply component 20 and the second power supply component 30 is capable of supplying power to the atomizer 10.

[0060] In the first state and the second state, the first power supply assembly 20 and the second power supply assembly 30 are in different relative positions. Specifically, compared with the second state, the second power supply assembly 30 is located on one side of a different direction relative to the first power supply assembly 20, so that the overall structural outline formed by the first power supply assembly 20 and the second power supply assembly 30 changes.

[0061] The aerosol generating device in this embodiment of the application, by rotating the first power component 20 and the second power component 30, changes the overall structural outline of the two power components. This facilitates the adaptation of the first power components 20 and 30 to the matching requirements of atomizers 10 with different shapes and sizes, improving the versatility of the first power components 20 and 30, and meeting different user needs. It also allows the aerosol generating device to change its form to improve portability. For example, this design can achieve compatibility with atomizers of different liquid volumes, shapes and functions, or numbers of oil tanks on the same battery component 70, providing users with more choices and reducing the cost of repeatedly purchasing battery components 70. The battery component 70 includes the first power component 20 and the second power component 30, effectively increasing battery capacity and runtime. The first power component 20 and the second power component 30 are detachable from each other, and one of them can be used independently. Its small size makes it easy to carry. In short, it provides users with more portable and diverse options.

[0062] In some embodiments, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0063] In some embodiments, the first power supply component 20 and the second power supply component 30 together form a power supply kit, and there are multiple power supply kits, which are rotatably coupled to each other. The power supply kit is the overall structure formed by the first power supply component 20 and the second power supply component 30. This allows the aerosol generating device to be adapted to different external contour shapes to meet different user needs.

[0064] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The length direction of the first power component 20 and the length direction of the second power component 30 are both the first direction. Thus, in the first state, it is beneficial for the overall structure formed by the first power component 20 and the second power component 30 to have a long rod-like outer contour. In the second state, it is beneficial for the overall structure formed by the first power component 20 and the second power component 30 to have a box-like outer contour, which is beneficial for meeting different user needs.

[0065] In some embodiments, the rotation axis of the first power supply assembly 20 and the second power supply assembly 30 that rotate relative to each other is perpendicular to a first direction.

[0066] Thus, by switching between the first and second states, it is beneficial to change the profile dimensions of the aerosol generating device in the first direction, thereby improving the portability of the aerosol generating device.

[0067] In some embodiments, the rotation axis of the first power supply assembly 20 and the second power supply assembly 30 that rotate relative to each other is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0068] Thus, by switching between the first and second states, it is beneficial to change the profile dimensions of the aerosol generating device in the second direction, thereby improving the portability of the aerosol generating device.

[0069] In some embodiments, the rotation axes of the first power supply assembly 20 and the second power supply assembly 30, and the first direction and the second direction, are perpendicular to each other.

[0070] This further improves the portability of the aerosol generating device. The second power supply component 30 can rotate relative to the first power supply component 20 at angles ranging from 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°, 120°, 135°, 150°, to 180°.

[0071] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The rotational engagement position 20a of the first power supply component 20 and the second power supply component 30 is located at one end of the first power supply component 20 along the first direction.

[0072] This helps to reduce the risk of interference between the second power supply component 30 and the first power supply component 20 during their relative rotation, and also helps to increase the rotation angle of the second power supply component 30 relative to the first power supply component 20, thus meeting different user needs.

[0073] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 In a first state, at least a portion of the atomizer 10 is located at an end of the first power assembly 20 away from the second power assembly 30 along a first direction and is electrically connected to the first power assembly 20; in a second state, the atomizer 10 is located at an end of at least one of the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30 along a first direction and is electrically connected to at least one of them.

[0074] In other words, during the transition between the first state and the second state, the atomizer 10 is always located on one side of the overall structure formed by the first power supply component 20 and the second power supply component 30 along the first direction.

[0075] This helps reduce the interference of the atomizer 10 on the relative rotation between the first power component 20 and the second power component 30, and it eliminates the need to disassemble the atomizer 10 during the relative rotation of the first power component 20 and the second power component 30, thus simplifying the user's operation.

[0076] In some embodiments, the atomizer 10 is provided with an air outlet 10a. In a first state, the air outlet 10a is located on the side of the atomizer 10 away from the first power supply assembly 20 along a first direction. That is, in the first state, the air outlet 10a and the first power supply assembly 20 are located on different sides of the atomizer 10 along the first direction.

[0077] The air outlet 10a is used to discharge the aerosol generation matrix produced in the atomizer 10.

[0078] It is understandable that during the use of the aerosol generating device, the user's oral cavity is directly connected to the air outlet 10a.

[0079] This allows the user to still drive the first power component 20 and the second power component 30 to rotate relative to each other while inhaling the aerosol.

[0080] Understandably, the atomizer 10 at least partially forms the mouthpiece, with the air outlet 10a located on the mouthpiece.

[0081] In some embodiments, the rotational engagement position 20a of the first power component 20 and the second power component 30 is located at the end of the first power component 20 that is away from the air outlet 10a in the first direction, so as to reduce the probability of interference to the air outlet 10a during the relative rotation of the first power component 20 and the second power component 30, and to facilitate user use.

[0082] In some embodiments, the integral structure formed by the first power component 20 and the second power component 30 is detachably connected to the atomizer 10 so that atomizers 10 of different shapes and sizes can be adapted to the integral structure formed by the first power component 20 and the second power component 30.

[0083] The atomizer 10 can be detachably connected to at least one of the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30.

[0084] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 The atomizer 10 includes a first atomizer 11. In a second state, one end of the first power supply assembly 20 and the second power supply assembly 30 is electrically connected to the first atomizer 11 along a first direction, and in a projection plane perpendicular to the first direction, the projection of the first atomizer 11 along the first direction is outside the projection range of the other along the first direction.

[0085] In other words, it can be that, in the second state, the first atomizer 11 is electrically connected to the first power supply assembly 20 along the first direction, and the projection of the first atomizer 11 along the first direction is outside the projection range of the second power supply assembly 30 along the first direction; or it can be that, in the second state, the first atomizer 11 is electrically connected to the second power supply assembly 30 along the first direction, and the projection of the first atomizer 11 along the first direction is outside the projection range of the first power supply assembly 20 along the first direction.

[0086] This helps to reduce the inconvenience caused to the user by the relative rotation between the first power component 20 and the second power component 30 during the use of the first atomizer 11.

[0087] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 In both the first and second states, in the projection plane perpendicular to the first direction, the projection of the first atomizer 11 along the first direction is located within the projection range of either the first power supply assembly 20 or the second power supply assembly 30 along the first direction, thereby reducing the adverse effects of the arrangement of the first atomizer 11 on the relative rotation of the first power supply assembly 20 and the second power supply assembly 30.

[0088] In some embodiments, in a first state, the first atomizer 11 is electrically connected to the end of the second power assembly 30 away from the first power assembly 20 along a first direction.

[0089] In other words, the first atomizer 11 can be selectively electrically connected to the first power supply component 20 and the second power supply component 30 respectively, which helps to enrich the ways in which the first atomizer 11 can be used with the first power supply component 20 and the second power supply component 30, and enrich the user experience.

[0090] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 The number of first atomizers 11 is two. In the second state, one first atomizer 11 is electrically connected to the first power supply assembly 20, and the other first atomizer 11 is electrically connected to the second power supply assembly 30. See some embodiments. Figure 6 The atomizer 10 includes a second atomizer 12, and in a second state, the second atomizer 12 is located on the same side of the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30 along a first direction.

[0091] Thus, with the second atomizer 12 being larger in size, the space shared by the first power supply assembly 20 and the second power supply assembly 30 along the same side of the first direction in the second state can be better utilized, which also helps to make the shape of the aerosol generating device more regular.

[0092] Alternatively, the areas of the first power assembly 20 and / or the second power assembly 30 used for electrical connection with the first atomizer 11 may be the same as the areas used for electrical connection with the second atomizer 12, so that the first atomizer 11 and the second atomizer 12 of the same type can be arbitrarily adapted to the first power assembly 20 and / or the second power assembly 30 respectively along the first direction; or the areas of the first power assembly 20 and / or the second power assembly 30 used for electrical connection with the first atomizer 11 may be different from the areas used for electrical connection with the second atomizer 12, so that the first atomizer 11 and the second atomizer 12 can only be electrically connected from a specific side along the first direction, thus preventing mistaken connection and meeting the different power requirements of the first atomizer 11 and the second atomizer 12.

[0093] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 In the second state, in the projection plane perpendicular to the first direction, the projection of the first power supply component 20 along the first direction and the projection of the second power supply component 30 along the first direction are both located within the projection range of the second atomizer 12.

[0094] Thus, the first power supply assembly 20 and the second power supply assembly 30 can be adapted to the larger second atomizer 12.

[0095] In some embodiments, both the first power supply component 20 and the second power supply component 30 are electrically connected to the second atomizer 12, which helps to meet the high power consumption requirements of the second atomizer 12.

[0096] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The rotational engagement position 20a of the first power component 20 and the second power component 30 is located at the end of the second power component 30 that is close to the first power component 20 along the first direction, so as to increase the rotation range of the second power component 30.

[0097] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The rotational engagement positions 20a of the first power supply assembly 20 and the second power supply assembly 30 are respectively located on one side of each other along the second direction, which helps to increase the relative rotation range between the two.

[0098] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 In the second state, the first side end face of the first power supply component 20 along the first direction is the first end face 20b, and the first side end face of the second power supply component 30 along the first direction is the second end face 30a. The first end face 20b and the second end face 30a are flush.

[0099] This facilitates the joint adaptation of the atomizer 10 on the first end face 20b and the second end face 30a, and makes the outer contour of the aerosol generating device in the second state more regular, making it easier for users to use.

[0100] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 In the second state, the second side end face of the first power supply component 20 along the first direction is the third end face 20c, and the second side end face of the second power supply component 30 along the first direction is the fourth end face 30b. The third end face 20c and the fourth end face 30b are flush.

[0101] This allows for the atomizer 10 to be adapted to both the third end face 20c and the fourth end face 30b, and makes the outer contour of the aerosol generating device in the second state more regular, making it easier for users to use.

[0102] It is understandable that the first side and the second side of the first direction refer to different sides of the first direction.

[0103] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 The second atomizer 12 is respectively attached to the first end face 20b and the second end face 30a to be electrically connected to one of the first power supply assembly 20 and the second power supply assembly 30.

[0104] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The first end face 20b is provided with a first electrical connection area 20ba, which is used for the first power supply assembly 20 to be electrically connected to the atomizer 10.

[0105] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The second end face 30a is provided with a second electrical connection area 30aa, which is used for the second power supply assembly 30 to be electrically connected to the atomizer 10.

[0106] In some embodiments, the second atomizer 12 is abutted against the third end face 20c and the fourth end face 30b, respectively, for electrical connection to one of the first power supply assembly 20 and the second power supply assembly 30.

[0107] In some embodiments, the third end face 20c is provided with a third electrical connection area, which is used for the first power supply assembly 20 to be electrically connected to the atomizer 10.

[0108] In some embodiments, the fourth end face 30b is provided with a fourth electrical connection area, which is used for the second power supply assembly 30 to be electrically connected to the atomizer 10.

[0109] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 The aerosol generating device also includes an auxiliary oil tank 40, and the atomizer 10 can be selectively connected to the auxiliary oil tank 40.

[0110] The auxiliary oil tank 40 can store the aerosol generation matrix. It is connected to the atomizer 10, so that the auxiliary oil tank 40 can replenish the aerosol generation matrix into the atomizer 10.

[0111] By separating the auxiliary oil tank 40 from the atomizer 10 and replacing it with a new auxiliary oil tank 40, the service life of the aerosol generating device can be further extended.

[0112] In some embodiments with an auxiliary oil tank 40, see [reference] Figure 7 In the second state, at least a portion of the atomizer 10 is located on a first side of at least one of the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30 along a first direction, and at least a portion of the auxiliary oil tank 40 is located on a first side of at least one of the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30 along a first direction.

[0113] Thus, the atomizer 10 and the auxiliary oil tank 40 are located on the same side of the overall structure formed by the first power component 20 and the second power component 30, which makes it convenient for the user to replace the auxiliary oil tank 40. It also helps to reduce the distance between the atomizer 10 and the auxiliary oil tank 40, reduce the risk of aerosol generation matrix leakage, and at the same time, it can better utilize the space on one side of the first power component 20 and the second power component 30 along the first direction.

[0114] The specific number of auxiliary oil tanks 40 is not limited; there can be one or more.

[0115] In some embodiments, the first power component 20 and the second power component 30 are electrically connected. Thus, as long as one of the first power component 20 and the second power component 30 is electrically connected to the atomizer 10, the purpose of the first power component 20 and the second power component 30 jointly supplying power to the atomizer 10 can be achieved.

[0116] The specific method by which the first power component 20 and the second power component 30 are electrically connected is not limited. For example, the first power component 20 and the second power component 30 can be electrically connected through electrical wires or FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit). Alternatively, one of the first power component 20 and the second power component 30 may have a wireless charging area and the other may have a wireless power transmission area, so that one of the first power component 20 and the second power component 30 can replenish the other with power through wireless transmission.

[0117] The specific method for achieving rotational engagement between the first power supply component 20 and the second power supply component 30 is not limited.

[0118] In some embodiments, the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30 are hinged so that they can rotate relative to each other. That is, a portion of one of the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30 forms a pivot, and the other has a rotation hole, into which at least a portion of the pivot is inserted and can rotate.

[0119] In some embodiments, the first power assembly 20 has a first groove at one end along a first direction, the first groove extends along a second direction, the first power assembly 20 has a second groove at one end along the second direction, the second groove extends along the first direction, the first groove at one end along the second direction and the second groove at one end along the first direction are connected to each other, and the second power assembly 30 has a rotating protrusion that can be embedded in the first groove and the second groove and slide within them.

[0120] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The aerosol generating device also includes a rotating connector 50, one end of which is rotatably connected to the first power supply component 20 and the other end of which is rotatably connected to the second power supply component 30. At least one of the first power supply component 20 and the second power supply component 30 is rotatably connected to the rotating connector 50.

[0121] Rotating the connector 50 helps to expand the relative rotation range between the first power supply assembly 20 and the second power supply assembly 30.

[0122] It is understandable that the rotating connector 50 forms a rotating fit position 20a.

[0123] In some embodiments, the rotating connector 50 is an elastic element, and at least one of the first power supply assembly 20 and the second power supply assembly 30 is in contact with the rotating connector 50.

[0124] The first power supply assembly 20 and the second power supply assembly 30 that are in contact with the rotating connector 50 can cause the rotating connector 50 to undergo elastic deformation, thereby increasing the friction between them and the rotating connector 50, thus creating damping during rotation.

[0125] This helps reduce the probability that the first power supply component 20 and the second power supply component 30 will rotate relative to each other due to external collisions and their own gravity during the use of the aerosol generating device.

[0126] The specific material of the rotating connector 50 is not limited, such as rubber, silicone, etc.

[0127] In some embodiments, at least one of the first power supply assembly 20 and the second power supply assembly 30 can be detachably connected to the rotating connector 50 for replacement and maintenance.

[0128] In some embodiments, the first power supply assembly 20 and the second power supply assembly 30 are detachable.

[0129] Thus, by separating the first power supply component 20 and the second power supply component 30, it is convenient to replace and repair them individually, and it is also convenient to directly replace the first power supply component 20 and the second power supply component 30 with full power.

[0130] In some embodiments that include the rotating connector 50, at least one of the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30 is detachably connected to the rotating connector 50 to achieve a detachable configuration of the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30.

[0131] In some embodiments, the first power supply assembly 20 and the second power supply assembly 30 can supply power to the atomizer 10 independently after being separated from each other.

[0132] It is understandable that when the aerosol generating device is in the first or second state, the relative positions of the first power supply component 20 and the second power supply component 30 need to be fixed so that the user can use it.

[0133] In some embodiments, the aerosol generating device further includes a first buckle, a first slot, a second buckle, and a second slot. In a first state, the first power component 20 and the second power component 30 are fixedly connected by the first buckle and the first slot. In a second state, the first power component 20 and the second power component 30 are fixedly connected by the second buckle and the second slot.

[0134] One of the first power supply assembly 20 and the second power supply assembly 30 is provided with a first latch, and the other is provided with a first slot adapted to the first latch. In a first state, the first latch is inserted into the first slot to constrain the first power supply assembly 20 and the second power supply assembly 30 by means of the inner wall between the first latch and the first slot. The first latch is elastically deformable so that it can be dislodged from the first slot by deformation, thereby allowing the first power supply assembly 20 and the second power supply assembly 30 to rotate relative to each other.

[0135] One of the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30 is provided with a second latch, and the other is provided with a second slot adapted to the first latch. In a second state, the second latch is inserted into the second slot, and the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30 are fixed in position by being constrained by the inner walls of the second latch and the second slot. The second latch is elastically deformable so that it can be dislodged from the second slot by deformation, thereby allowing the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30 to rotate relative to each other.

[0136] In some embodiments, the first latch is located at one end of the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30 along a first direction.

[0137] It is understood that the first slot corresponding to the first buckle is located at one end of the other of the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30 along the first direction.

[0138] In some embodiments, the second latch is located at one end of the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30 along a second direction.

[0139] It is understood that the second slot corresponding to the second buckle is located at one end of the other of the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30 along the second direction.

[0140] The materials of the first and second buckles are not limited, such as plastic, sheet metal, etc.

[0141] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The aerosol generating device also includes a first adsorption element 60 and a second adsorption element 61. In a first state, the first power supply component 20 and the second power supply component 30 are adsorbed and fixed along a first direction by the first adsorption element 60. In a second state, the first power supply component 20 and the second power supply component 30 are adsorbed and fixed along a second direction by the second adsorption element 61.

[0142] At least one of the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30 is provided with a first suction member 60. In a first state, the first suction member 60 uses suction force to make the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30 difficult to separate along a first direction, thereby fixing the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30 along the first direction under normal use. When the force applied by the user to the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30 along the first direction is greater than the suction force of the first suction member 60 along the first direction, the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30 can rotate relative to each other.

[0143] At least one of the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30 is provided with a second suction member 61. In a second state, the second suction member 61 uses suction force to make the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30 difficult to separate along a second direction, thereby achieving the fixation of the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30 along the second direction under normal use. When the force applied by the user to the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30 along the second direction is greater than the suction force of the second suction member 61 along the second direction, the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30 can rotate relative to each other.

[0144] In some embodiments, the first adsorption member 60 is disposed at one end of one of the first power supply assembly 20 and the second power supply assembly 30 along a first direction.

[0145] In some embodiments, the second adsorption member 61 is disposed at one end of one of the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30 along a second direction.

[0146] In some embodiments, the first adsorption element 60 is adhesive, and both the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30 are provided with the first adsorption element 60, so that the two first adsorption elements 60 are fixed together by adhesiveness.

[0147] In some embodiments, the first adsorption element 60 is a magnet, and the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30 have metal components or both the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30 are provided with the first adsorption element 60, so that the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30 are fixed by magnetic attraction.

[0148] In some embodiments, the second adsorption element 61 is adhesive, and both the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30 are provided with the second adsorption element 61, so that the two second adsorption elements 61 are fixed together by adhesiveness.

[0149] In some embodiments, the second adsorption element 61 is a magnet, and the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30 have metal components or both the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30 are provided with the second adsorption element 61, so that the first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30 are fixed by magnetic attraction.

[0150] This application also provides a battery assembly 70, see reference. Figure 1 and Figure 2 It is used for electrical connection with atomizer 10, and battery assembly 70 includes a first power assembly 20 and a second power assembly 30. The first power assembly 20 and the second power assembly 30 are rotatably engaged.

[0151] The battery assembly 70 includes a first form and a second form.

[0152] In the first configuration, the first power supply assembly 20 and the second power supply assembly 30 are arranged along a first direction, and at least one of them is used for electrical connection with the atomizer 10.

[0153] In the second configuration, the first power supply assembly 20 and the second power supply assembly 30 are arranged along a second direction, which intersects the second direction, and at least one of them is used for electrical connection with the atomizer 10.

[0154] The first power supply assembly 20 and the second power supply assembly 30 rotate relative to each other to switch between the first mode and the second mode.

[0155] Thus, by switching between the first and second forms, the battery component 70 can adapt to atomizers 10 of different shapes and sizes, allowing users to choose different forms according to their needs, improving the user experience and enhancing the portability of the battery component 70.
