Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aerosol generation technology, and in particular to an aerosol generation device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the dust covers of aerosol generating devices generally adopt a linear stroke sliding structure, that is, a sliding groove is opened on the outer shell, and the opening and closing of the port is achieved by pushing and pulling the dust cover.

[0003] Although the linear sliding structure can basically meet the dustproof requirements, the slide is an open structure, which is prone to accumulating dust or foreign objects during daily carrying. This increases the sliding resistance of the dust cover and may even cause it to jam completely. Therefore, users need to clean it frequently to ensure the functionality of the slide. In addition, the linear sliding structure with elastic assistance will wear down the slide or the parts that mate with the slide during frequent sliding. This can easily cause the dust cover to deviate from its sliding trajectory, fail to limit the movement, or even fall off unexpectedly, reducing the overall lifespan of the device.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an aerosol generating device to solve the above problems that exist in the dust cover's reliance on a linear sliding structure. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an aerosol generating device that avoids dust accumulation in linear sliding structures by using a rotating structure, prevents wear on the sliding groove, and improves the overall lifespan of the device.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

One end of the sliding member abuts against the elastic member, and the other end forms a second engaging part that engages with the first engaging part. The second engaging part is configured as a wave shape that continuously surrounds the body in the circumferential direction.

[0015] As an alternative to an aerosol generating device, the main body has an opening for the aerosol generating product to pass through, the rotating member has a first state of closing the opening and a second state of opening the opening, the rotating member switches from the first state to the second state, or from the second state to the first state, the rotating member rotates n*90°, where n is an integer.

[0021] Beneficial effects:

[0022] In this invention, when the rotating component rotates, the wavy structure of the first and second meshing parts causes the second meshing part to reciprocate axially, further compressing the elastic component and causing it to deform reciprocally. The deformation of the elastic component generates a force on the sliding component, ensuring that the first and second meshing parts are always in a stable compressive state, maintaining stable contact. It also provides a damping feel for the user during rotation. Furthermore, the first and second meshing parts are annularly arranged, allowing the rotating component to rotate 360° circumferentially. Moreover, there is no restriction on the direction of rotation; both clockwise and counterclockwise rotation are possible, ensuring the flexibility of rotation. The opening and closing of the opening is achieved through the rotation of the rotating component, avoiding the problems of dust accumulation in the linear grooves and wear at the mating parts inherent in existing linear sliding structures, effectively improving the overall lifespan of the aerosol generating device.

[0040] 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.

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.

[0043] 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.

[0044] This embodiment relates to an aerosol generating apparatus 10, which is used in conjunction with an aerosol generating article 100. The aerosol generating article 100 is heated to generate aerosols. The aerosol generating article 100 may include a mouthpiece section, a connecting section, and a tobacco section capable of generating aerosols. The connecting section is located between the mouthpiece section and the tobacco section and is used to guide the aerosol to the mouthpiece section. The mouthpiece section can be held in the mouth of a user, who can inhale the aerosol by sucking on the mouthpiece. The tobacco section of the aerosol generating article 100 may contain an aerosol generating matrix.

[0045] As used herein, the term "aerosol-generating matrix" refers to a matrix capable of releasing volatile substances to form inhalable aerosols. An aerosol-generating matrix may include tobacco-containing materials containing volatile tobacco flavor compounds that are released from the substrate upon heating. Specifically, the aerosol-generating matrix may be a tobacco-containing aerosol-generating matrix, or it may include non-tobacco materials. The aerosol-generating matrix may also include aerosol-forming agents.

[0046] The aerosol generating article 100 can be generally a rod-shaped structure extending longitudinally. The mouthpiece section can be disposed adjacent to the proximal end of the aerosol generating article 100. The tobacco section can be disposed adjacent to the distal end of the aerosol generating article 100. Please refer to the appendix. Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 5 The aerosol generating device 10 includes a rotating member 1, a body 2, an elastic member 3, and a sliding member 4. The rotating member 1 has a first engaging portion 11, which is configured as a continuous circumferential wave. The rotating member 1 is rotatably connected to the body 2. The elastic member 3 is disposed within the body 2. The sliding member 4 is axially slidably connected within the body 2. One end of the sliding member 4 abuts against the elastic member 3, and the other end forms a second engaging portion 41 that engages with the first engaging portion 11. The second engaging portion 41 is configured as a continuous circumferential wave. When the rotating member 1 rotates, the first engaging portion 11 rotates relative to the second engaging portion 41.

[0047] Specifically, the main body 2 typically includes an outer shell, multiple functional components disposed inside the outer shell, and airflow channels, etc. The outer shell can be used to support and position the multiple internal functional components. The overall appearance of the main body 2 can be reasonably adjusted according to the user's grip comfort and personalized functional expansion.

[0048] In this embodiment, the body 2 adopts an elongated structure and has a receiving cavity formed along its length to accommodate at least a portion of the aerosol generating article 100. The aerosol generating article 100 adopts a cylindrical rod-shaped structure, therefore the receiving cavity is a cylindrical groove structure extending from one side of the body 2 into the interior. An opening 21 is formed on one side of the receiving cavity to allow the aerosol generating article 100 to be inserted or removed through the opening 21.

[0049] Rotating component 1 is rotatably connected to the main body 2. In this embodiment, rotating component 1 can be a cover and has a first state with the opening 21 closed and a second state with the opening 21 open. The first state is the user's non-use state, thereby preventing dust and moisture from entering the interior of the main body 2 through the opening 21, ensuring the performance and lifespan of the internal functional components of the aerosol generating device 10. The second state is the user's use state, where the user opens the opening 21 using rotating component 1, the aerosol generating product 100 is inserted through the opening 21, and the internal heating component heats the aerosol generating product 100 to generate an inhalable aerosol for the user.

[0050] Furthermore, the rotating member 1 has a wavy first engaging portion 11, and the other end of the sliding member 4 forms a second engaging portion 41 that meshes with the first engaging portion 11. When the user rotates the rotating member 1, the first engaging portion 11 rotates relative to the second engaging portion 41. It should be noted that the wavy structure of the first engaging portion 11 and the second engaging portion 41 can be sawtooth-shaped, sinusoidal, or cosine-shaped. The meshing of the first engaging portion 11 and the second engaging portion 41 means that the crests and troughs of the two parts are respectively engaged, that is, the crest of one part is engaged with the trough of the other part, and the trough of one part is engaged with the trough of the other part.

[0051] In some embodiments, the wave-like structure of the first engagement portion 11 and the second engagement portion 41 is a sine wave or a cosine wave, thereby ensuring a smooth user experience when the rotating member 1 rotates.

[0052] When the rotating part 1 rotates, due to the wavy structure of the first engaging part 11 and the second engaging part 41, the rotation of the first engaging part 11 drives the second engaging part 41 to reciprocate axially, thereby causing the sliding part 4 to move axially, which in turn causes the sliding part 4 to compress the elastic part 3, resulting in reciprocating deformation. The deformation of the elastic part 3 generates a force on the sliding part 4, which not only ensures that the first engaging part 11 and the second engaging part 41 are always in a stable compressive state, so that the first engaging part 11 and the second engaging part 41 always maintain stable contact, but also provides the user with a damping feel when rotating the rotating part 1.

[0053] In this embodiment, the first meshing part 11 and the second meshing part 41 are arranged in a ring, which allows the user to realize the rotating part 1 to rotate along a 360° circle. Moreover, there is no restriction on the rotation direction of the rotating part 1, that is, the rotating part 1 can be rotated clockwise and counterclockwise. Thus, the rotating part 1 can switch between the first state and the second state in any two directions, ensuring the flexibility of the rotation of the rotating part 1.

[0054] Furthermore, since the first engagement portion 11 and the second engagement portion 41 are constructed in a continuously encircling wave shape, when the first engagement portion 11 crosses the crest of the second engagement portion 41, the first engagement portion 11 will automatically slide to the trough area of ​​the second engagement portion 41 under the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 3, thereby causing the rotating member 1 to automatically switch from the first state to the second state.

[0055] For example, when the rotating part 1 is in the first state, the rotating part 1 exposes the opening 21. At this time, the user can insert the aerosol generating product 100 into the aerosol generating device 10 through the opening 21. After heating is completed, the user takes out the aerosol generating product 100. The user operates the rotating part 1 to continue rotating at a certain angle, so that the first engaging part 11 passes over the crest of the second engaging part 41. At this time, the first engaging part 11 will automatically slide to the trough area of ​​the second engaging part 41 under the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 3, thereby automatically switching the rotating part 1 to the second state to block the opening 21.

[0056] By reasonably setting the number of peaks and troughs on the first meshing part 11 and the second meshing part 41, the rotation angle of the rotating part 1 can be adaptively adjusted when the rotating part 1 switches between the first state and the second state. For example, under different numbers of peaks and troughs, the rotating part 1 can achieve the purpose of switching from the first state to the second state by rotating 90° or 180°.

[0057] In this embodiment, the opening and closing of the opening 21 is achieved by rotating the rotating component 1, which avoids the problems of dust accumulation in the linear groove and wear of mating parts that exist in the existing linear stroke sliding structure, and effectively improves the overall life of the aerosol generating device 10.

[0058] Please see the appendix Figure 6 and attached Figure 7 The first engaging portion 11 includes a first rising section 111 and a first falling section 112 connected alternately in sequence. The protrusion 113 formed between the first rising section 111 and the first falling section 112 is the crest of the first engaging portion 11, and the depression 114 formed between the first falling section 112 and the first rising section 111 is the trough of the first engaging portion 11. It is easy to understand that the second engaging portion 41 has a corresponding second rising section and a second falling section, so that the first engaging portion 11 and the second engaging portion 41 can mesh with each other. In some embodiments, the first rising section 111 and the first falling section 112 are connected by an arc surface.

[0059] When the rotating component 1 is initially in the first state, when the user manually rotates the rotating component 1, the crest of the first engaging part 11 gradually slides from the trough of the second engaging part 41 to the crest position. When the crest of the first engaging part 11 crosses the crest of the second engaging part 41, since the first rising section 111 and the first falling section 112 are curved surfaces, the elastic component 3 presses the sliding component 4, so that the crest of the first engaging part 11 quickly crosses the crest of the second engaging part 41 along the curved surface, avoiding jamming and further improving the smoothness of the rotation of the rotating component 1.

[0060] It should be noted that, since the first engaging part 11 and the second engaging part 41 maintain accurate engagement when rotated to a certain position, the rotating part 1 can remain stationary under non-user-driven conditions. The second engaging part 41 is consistent with the first engaging part 11 in shape and size, so the structure of the second engaging part 41 can be referred to the first engaging part 11, and will not be repeated in this embodiment.

[0061] Optionally, the surfaces of the first ascending section 111 and the first descending section 112 are both curved or arc-shaped surfaces.

[0062] Specifically, in geometry, a curved surface is a continuous two-dimensional manifold in three-dimensional space, generated by the movement of curves or straight lines according to specific constraints; while an arc surface usually refers to a surface composed of curved segments (such as circular arcs) of a two-dimensional plane, or a local region of a three-dimensional curved surface.

[0063] In this embodiment, when the rotating member 1 is initially in the first state, the user manually rotates the rotating member 1. At this time, the crest of the first engaging part 11 gradually slides from the trough of the second engaging part 41 to the crest position. When the crest of the first engaging part 11 crosses the crest of the second engaging part 41, since the surfaces of the first rising section 111 and the first falling section 112 are both curved or arc-shaped, under the force of the elastic member 3 pressing the sliding member 4, the crest of the first engaging part 11 automatically enters the trough of the second engaging part 41, thereby enabling the first engaging part 11 and the second engaging part 41 to automatically engage. This design makes it necessary to exert more effort in the first half of rotating the rotating member 1, that is, the process of the crest of the first engaging part 11 disengaging from the trough of the second engaging part 41 and sliding towards the crest of the other second engaging part 41. Once the peak of the second engagement portion 41 is passed, the rotating member 1 can quickly engage the peak of the first engagement portion 11 with the trough of the second engagement portion 41 without requiring further force from the user in the latter half of the rotation. This not only reduces the effort required by the user but also allows the rotating member 1 to automatically return to its original position through the proper design of the first and second engagement portions 11. Furthermore, the curved or arc-shaped surface extends the path, ensuring smoother and more stable rotation of the rotating member 1.

[0064] Optionally, both the first engaging portion 11 and the second engaging portion 41 include two peaks and two troughs arranged alternately in sequence.

[0065] In this embodiment, when the rotating member 1 is initially in the first state, after the user rotates the rotating member 1 to a 90° position, the crest of the first engaging part 11 disengages from the trough of the second engaging part 41, and the crest of the first engaging part 11 slides until it is opposite to the crest of the second engaging part 41. During this process, the user continuously applies force, and the force gradually increases. When the crest of the first engaging part 11 crosses the crest of the second engaging part 41, the elastic member 3 deforms and recovers, pushing the sliding member 4 to act on the rotating member 1. At this time, within the angle range of 90° to 180°, the rotating member 1 can rotate freely without the user applying force. After rotating to 180°, the crest of the first engaging part 11 engages again with another trough of the second engaging part 41, thus placing the rotating member 1 in the second state. At this time, the user has two rotation directions to return the rotating member 1 to the first state, that is, the rotating member 1 continues to rotate along the original rotation direction, or rotates in the opposite direction of the original rotation direction. Both rotation directions can restore the rotating member 1 to the first state. Taking the continued rotation along the original direction as an example, during this process, after the user rotates the rotating part 1 from the position of 180° to 270°, the crest of the first engaging part 11 disengages from the trough of the second engaging part 41, and the crest of the first engaging part 11 slides until it is opposite to the crest of the second engaging part 41. During this process, the user continuously applies force, and the force gradually increases. When the crest of the first engaging part 11 crosses the crest of the second engaging part 41, the elastic element 3 deforms and recovers, pushing the sliding element 4 to act on the rotating part 1. At this time, within the angle range of 270° to 360°, the rotating part 1 can rotate freely without the user applying force. After rotating to 360°, the crest of the first engaging part 11 engages again with the initial trough of the second engaging part 41, thereby placing the rotating part 1 in the first state.

[0066] Optionally, the rotating component 1 switches from the first state to the second state, or from the second state to the first state, and the rotating component 1 rotates n*90°, where n is an integer.

[0067] In this embodiment, when the rotating member 1 is in the first state, the rotating member 1 completely closes the opening 21; when the rotating member 1 is in the second state, the rotating member 1 completely opens the opening 21. It can be understood that, when the body 2, the rotating member 1, and the opening 21 are sized to match, the rotating member 1 can switch states at appropriate angles. For example, when the rotating member 1 rotates 90°, it switches from the first state to the second state; simultaneously, rotating the rotating member 1 in the opposite direction by 90° switches it from the second state back to the first state. Switching can even be achieved at other angles less than 90°, but this would require the rotating member 1 to be too large relative to the opening 21, which would not meet the structural compactness requirements of the overall aerosol generating device. Therefore, in this embodiment, the minimum angle for state switching of the rotating member 1 is 90°.

[0068] It should be noted that if the rotating part 1 rotates more than 360°, it is considered that the user has rotated the rotating part 1 more than one revolution. The position and motion state of the rotating part 1 within one revolution can still be referred to. This embodiment will not be repeated here.

[0069] Optionally, the rotating member 1 is provided with a rotating shaft 12, the body 2 includes an upper cover 22, an opening 21 is formed in the upper cover 22, and the rotating shaft 12 passes through the upper cover 22 and extends into the body 2, with the first engaging part 11 located at the end of the rotating shaft 12 away from the rotating member 1.

[0070] Specifically, the rotating member 1 is circular, and a rotating shaft 12 is protruding on one side surface of the rotating member 1. The body 2 has an upper cover 22 to seal the interior of the body 2. An opening 21 is formed on the upper cover 22, and a through hole 221 for the rotation of the rotating shaft 12 is formed on the upper cover 22. The rotating member 1 can rotate around the rotating shaft 12 as the rotation center, and the first engaging part 11 is formed at the end of the rotating shaft 12 away from the rotating member 1.

[0071] In this embodiment, the rotating component 1 and the rotating shaft 12 are an integral structure, which can be formed by an integral injection molding process, thereby saving costs.

[0072] Furthermore, the aerosol generating device 10 also includes a limiting member 5. A limiting groove 121 is formed on the rotating shaft 12. The limiting member 5 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 12 and accommodated in the limiting groove 121. The limiting member 5 abuts against the upper cover 22 to limit the rotating shaft 12 in the axial direction.

[0073] A limiting groove 121 is provided on the rotating shaft 12. The limiting member 5 can be a C-shaped elastic retaining ring. After the rotating shaft 12 passes through the upper cover 22, the limiting member 5 is engaged in the limiting groove 121. The limiting member 5 is used to limit the rotating shaft 12 in the axial direction, so as to prevent the rotating part 1 from moving in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 12.

[0074] Optionally, the aerosol generating device 10 further includes a rotating member 6, a rotating shaft 12 connected to the rotating member 6 and rotating synchronously, and a first engaging part 11 disposed on the rotating member 6.

[0075] In this embodiment, the rotating component 6, the rotating shaft 12, and the rotating component 1 are integrated into a single structure, thereby reducing the number of parts. However, the integrated structure has the problem of poor assemblability. That is, when the radial dimension of the rotating component 6 is too large according to the rotation requirements, it is difficult to pass through the through hole of the upper cover 22. Therefore, in order to ensure the convenience of assembly, the rotating component 6 can be assembled with the rotating shaft 12 as a separate part.

[0076] In this embodiment, a slot 61 is provided on the rotating component 6. The slot 61 is a square groove, and a boss 122 is formed at the end of the rotating shaft 12. The boss 122 has a square cross-section and is inserted into the slot 61. The two can be fitted with an interference fit to ensure a stable connection. Of course, they can also be fitted with a clearance fit, that is, the rotating shaft 12 is only used to realize the rotational connection of the rotating component 6. The axial positioning of the rotating component 6 can be achieved by the rotating component 6 and the sliding component 4 clamping it together.

[0077] Please see the appendix Figure 4 and attached Figure 5 Optionally, the main body 2 is provided with a mounting groove 71, the end of the sliding member 4 away from the rotating member 1 is provided with a limiting part 43, the elastic member 3 is provided in the mounting groove 71, and the elastic member 3 is sleeved on the limiting part 43.

[0078] Specifically, the main body 2 is provided with a bracket 7, and an installation groove 71 is formed on the bracket 7. The installation groove 71 is a cylindrical groove, the limiting part 43 is a cylindrical structure, and the elastic member 3 can be a spring. The elastic member 3 is sleeved on the limiting part 43, with one end abutting against one end of the sliding member 4 and the other end abutting against the bottom wall of the installation groove 71.

[0079] In this embodiment, the mounting groove 71 provides mounting space for the sliding member 4, while the elastic member 3 uses a common spring, which helps to save costs while satisfying the elastic function.

[0080] Specifically, two opposing sliding grooves 23 are formed on the inner wall of the mounting groove 71, and two opposing protrusions 42 are formed on the sliding member 4, and the two protrusions 42 slide along the sliding grooves 23 respectively.

[0081] In this embodiment, the groove 23 is used for sliding guidance of the slider 4, and at the same time, it can also realize the circumferential limit of the slider 4 to avoid circumferential rotation, thereby affecting the accuracy of the relative movement of the first meshing part 11 and the second meshing part 41.

[0082] 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.
