[0002] The heating temperature of the heat-not-burn technology is generally between 50-350℃, and compared with the ordinary combustion cigarette, the heat-not-burn cigarette can greatly reduce the release of harmful substances in tobacco while retaining the traditional cigarette taste. One of the heating forms is microwave heating, which has the advantages of high heating efficiency and fast aerosol generation.

For this heating method, the uniformity of heating of the aerosol-generating article needs to be improved. In order to improve the uniformity of heating of the aerosol-generating article, one of the solutions is to change the relative position between the aerosol-generating article and the heating structure, for example, the relative position between the aerosol-generating article and the heating structure can be changed by rotating the aerosol-generating article, thereby achieving zone heating every time. However, this has the defect that, in the user's perspective, the aerosol-generating article needs to be rotated during use, which does not meet the use habits of some users, and even makes some users feel uncomfortable, affecting the user experience.

[0051] In order to have a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives and effects of the present application, the specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0052] Figures 1 to 14 show aerosol generating articles 10 of four embodiments of the present application, in which Figures 1 to 4 show an aerosol generating article 10 of a first embodiment of the present application, Figures 5 to 9 show an aerosol generating article 10 of a second embodiment of the present application, Figure 10 shows a partial structure of an aerosol generating article 10 of a third embodiment of the present application, and Figures 11 to 14 show an aerosol generating article 10 of a fourth embodiment of the present application. Figure 15 shows an aerosol generating device of an embodiment of the present application. The aerosol generating device is used in cooperation with the aerosol generating article 10 of any of the embodiments, and the aerosol generating device can heat the aerosol generating article 10 to generate aerosol for a user to smoke. Figure 16 shows an aerosol generating system of an embodiment of the present application. The aerosol generating system includes the aerosol generating article 10 and the aerosol generating device.

[0053] As shown in Figure 16, in some embodiments, the aerosol generating device includes a microwave heating assembly 71, a microwave feed-in unit (not shown) and a microwave generating unit 72. The microwave heating assembly 71 includes an outer conductor unit, an inner conductor unit, etc. The inner conductor unit includes a microwave radiation structure penetrating into the outer conductor unit. The aerosol generating device also has a heating cavity 70. Specifically, the heating cavity 70 can be formed in the outer conductor unit of the microwave heating assembly 71, and a heating zone can be formed in the heating cavity 70. Generally, the microwave radiation structure of the microwave heating assembly 71 can be arranged on one side of the heating cavity 70 to form the heating zone. The heating cavity 70 can be used for partially accommodating the aerosol generating article 10. The microwave feed-in unit is connected to the microwave generating unit 72 and feeds the microwaves generated by the microwave generating unit 72 into the heating cavity 70. The fed-in microwaves can continuously oscillate in the heating cavity 70, and the aerosol generating article 10 exposed to the microwave field in the heating cavity 70 is heated and atomized by the microwaves to generate aerosol for a user to smoke. Of course, in addition to the microwave heating form, the aerosol generating device can also heat the aerosol generating article 10 by other heating methods, such as resistance heating, electromagnetic induction heating, etc.

[0054] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in some embodiments, the aerosol generating article 10 is generally cylindrical in shape, and can be inserted into the heating cavity 70 along the axial direction of the heating cavity 70. The aerosol generating article 10 can be at least partially rotatably arranged in the heating cavity 70. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the aerosol generating article 10 of the first embodiment of the present application includes a first unit 1 and a second unit 2. The second unit 2 includes at least a solid aerosol generating substrate such as a processed plant leaf product. The second unit 2 can also include other units having specific functions. The aerosol generating substrate can be processed from plant powder, fibers, smoking materials, adhesives, etc., and exemplarily, the aerosol generating substrate can be processed into tobacco shreds by a papermaking method, a thick pulp method, a roller pressing method, a dry method, etc., and then cut and rolled into a tobacco column; or processed into a tobacco particle column by a granulation process. The second unit 2 releases aerosols with specific odors after being heated. The first unit 1 can include a filter unit and other units having specific functions. The first unit 1 can be cylindrical in shape. In some embodiments, the first unit 1 is close to the user's side for smoking, and filters the aerosols released from the second unit 2 before being inhaled by the user. The filter unit can be rolled from filter tips (acetic acid, polylactic acid, polyethylene terephthalate, cotton, etc.), cooling materials (polylactic acid, polyethylene terephthalate, silica gel, and other phase change materials), paper or other films (high molecular materials, metals, etc.).

[0055] The second unit 2 is arranged at one end of the first unit 1, and can be coaxially arranged and rotatably connected with the first unit 1, so that the second unit 2 can rotate relative to the first unit 1.

[0056] When the aerosol generating article 10 is connected to the aerosol generating device, the second unit 2 is at least partially arranged in the heating cavity 70, and the second unit 2 can switch its relative position with the heating area by rotating, so that the second unit 2 can generate aerosols for the user to inhale when heated, and the rotation can improve the uniformity of heating and facilitate the realization of puff-by-puff smoking. When the second unit 2 rotates, the first unit 1 can be stationary, so that the user's habit is not changed when the relative position of the second unit 2 and the heating area is switched, thereby avoiding discomfort for the user and improving the user experience.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first unit 1 and the second unit 2 can be rotatably arranged around their respective central axes, and the coaxial rotation of the two can switch their relative positions. In some embodiments, the first unit 1 can also drive the second unit 2 to rotate by rotating.

[0058] As shown in FIGS. 1-14, 17-25, in some embodiments, the aerosol generating article 10 further comprises a connecting unit 3. The connecting unit 3 is connected with at least one of the second unit 2 and the first unit 1, and can drive one of the second unit 2 and the first unit 1 to rotate coaxially relative to the other. That is, the connecting unit 3 can be connected with one of the second unit 2 and the first unit 1 to drive one of the second unit 2 and the first unit 1 to rotate, or the connecting unit 3 can be connected with both the second unit 2 and the first unit 1.

[0059] When the second unit 2 is the driving member, that is, the connecting unit 3 drives the second unit 2 to rotate coaxially relative to the first unit 1, the second unit 2 can change the heating area of the aerosol generating substrate by rotation, thereby improving the uniformity of heating of the aerosol generating substrate. At the same time, in the user's view, the first unit 1 close to the user's smoking side is stationary and does not affect the user experience.

[0060] In some embodiments, the first unit 1 can be rotationally connected with the connecting unit 3, and the second unit 2 can be rotationally connected with the connecting unit 3. Of course, it can be understood that in other embodiments, one of the first unit 1 or the second unit 2 can be connected with the connecting unit 3. For example, the first unit 1 is fixedly connected with the connecting unit 3, and the second unit 2 is rotationally connected with the connecting unit 3; or the second unit 2 is fixedly connected with the connecting unit 3, and the first unit 1 is rotationally connected with the connecting unit 3. Generally, in some embodiments, the first unit 1 and the connecting unit 3 are integrally formed, so that the first unit 1 and the connecting unit 3 are fixedly connected; or the second unit 2 and the connecting unit 3 are integrally formed, so that the second unit 2 and the connecting unit 3 are fixedly connected.

[0061] In some embodiments, the first unit 1 and / or the second unit 2 are both sleeved on the connecting unit 3. Specifically, the first unit 1 and the second unit 2 are both sleeved on the connecting unit 3. In other embodiments, only the first unit 1 can be sleeved on the connecting unit 3, and the connecting unit 3 is fixedly arranged at one end of the second unit 2 facing the first unit 1; or only the second unit 2 can be sleeved on the connecting unit 3, and the connecting unit 3 is fixedly arranged at one end of the first unit 1 facing the second unit 2. In this embodiment, the first unit 1, the second unit 2, and the connecting unit 3 can be coaxially arranged and coaxially rotated. In some embodiments, the driving mechanism (not shown) can be connected with the connecting unit 3, rather than being limited to being connected with the second unit 2, and the driving mechanism can drive the connecting unit 3 to rotate, thereby driving the second unit 2 or the first unit 1 to rotate.

[0062] In some other embodiments, the connecting unit 3 can also be sleeved on the first unit 1 and / or the second unit 2. Specifically, the connecting unit 3 can be arranged on the outer periphery of the first unit 1 and the second unit 2, and be sleeved on both the first unit 1 and the second unit 2. In some other embodiments, the connecting unit 3 can be sleeved only on the first unit 1, and be fixedly arranged at the end of the second unit 2 facing the first unit 1 or partially inserted into the second unit 2; or in some other embodiments, the connecting unit 3 can be sleeved only on the second unit 2, and be fixedly arranged at the end of the first unit 1 facing the second unit 2 or partially inserted into the first unit 1.

[0063] As shown in FIGS. 2-14, in some embodiments, the connecting unit 3 comprises a first rotating member 31 and a second rotating member 32 arranged in an inner-outer nested manner. The first rotating member 31 is connected with the first unit 1, and the second rotating member 32 is connected with the second unit 2. Specifically, the aerosol generating article 10 is generally in the shape of a long column, such as a cylindrical column, a square column or a column of other shapes. The aerosol generating article 10 has a central axis y. The first unit 1, the connecting unit 3 and the second unit 2 are arranged in sequence along the central axis y.

[0064] The first rotating member 31 can be nested on the outer periphery of the second rotating member 32, or the second rotating member 32 can be nested on the outer periphery of the first rotating member 31. The inner-outer nested arrangement enables one of the first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32 to rotate coaxially relative to the other, thereby driving one of the first unit 1 and the second unit 2 to rotate coaxially relative to the other. That is, the relative position between the first rotating member 31 and the first unit 1 does not change, and the relative position between the second rotating member 32 and the second unit 2 does not change. By changing the circumferential relative position of the first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32, one of the first unit 1 and the second unit 2 can rotate coaxially relative to the other. One of the first unit 1 and the second unit 2 acts as a driving member to rotate, and the other is stationary. For example, the second unit 2 can act as a driving member to rotate relative to the first unit 1, and the first unit 1 is stationary. Alternatively, the first unit 1 can act as a driving member to rotate relative to the second unit 2, and the second unit 2 is stationary.

[0065] When the second unit 2 acts as a driving member to rotate relative to the first unit 1, the second unit 2 can change the heating area by rotating, thereby improving the uniformity of heating. At the same time, in the user's view, the first unit 1 close to the user's side for smoking is stationary and does not affect the user experience.

[0066] As shown in FIGS. 1-3, 5-7, 11-13, in some embodiments, the aerosol generating article 10 further comprises at least one tipping 4. The tipping 4 can be a wrapping paper. The tipping 4 connects the connecting unit 3 and the first unit 1 together, or connects the connecting unit 3 and the second unit 2 together, or connects the connecting unit 3 and the first unit 1, the connecting unit 3 and the second unit 2 together.

[0067] As shown in FIGS. 1-3, in the first embodiment, one tipping 4 is arranged between the first rotating member 31 and the first unit 1, and between the second rotating member 32 and the second unit 2, respectively. The tipping 4 between the first rotating member 31 and the first unit 1 is a hollow structure, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first unit 1 and connected with the upper end surface of the first rotating member 31 at its end close to the first rotating member 31. The tipping 4 between the second rotating member 32 and the second unit 2 is a hollow structure, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first unit 1 and arranged at the periphery of the second rotating member 32.

[0068] As shown in FIGS. 5-7, 11-13, in the second and fourth embodiments, one tipping 4 is arranged between the second rotating member 32 and the second unit 2, and no tipping 4 can be arranged between the first rotating member 31 and the first unit 1. The first rotating member 31 can be a hollow cylindrical structure, and the first unit 1 is directly loaded and fixed in the interior of the first rotating member 31. In other embodiments, one tipping 4 can also be arranged between the first rotating member 31 and the first unit 1.

[0069] Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, in some embodiments, the connecting unit 3 further comprises a reinforcing member 33. It can be understood that for the first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32 arranged in an inner-outer nested manner, the maximum cross-sectional dimension of one of the two is greater than that of the other, and the two are fitted together through the size difference. The reinforcing member 33 is used to fill between the one of the first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32 with smaller maximum cross-sectional dimension and the tipping 4. The reinforcing member 33 is a hollow structure, and the inner periphery thereof can be connected with the outer periphery of the one of the first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32 with smaller maximum cross-sectional dimension through a food-grade adhesive, which plays a supporting and reinforcing role in connection, and prevents displacement and slipping between the one of the first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32 with smaller maximum cross-sectional dimension and the second unit 2. Specifically:

[0070] As shown in FIGS. 1-3, in the first embodiment, the first rotating member 31 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the second rotating member 32, and the maximum cross-sectional dimension of the second rotating member 32 is smaller than that of the first rotating member 31. At this time, the reinforcing member 33 is connected between the second rotating member 32 and the adapter 4, and the lower end surface of the reinforcing member 33 is connected with the second unit 2. The reinforcing member 33 can be a structure integrally formed with the first rotating member 31, or the two can be a structure detachably connected with each other.

[0071] In other embodiments, when the second rotating member 32 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first rotating member 31, the reinforcing member 33 is connected between the first rotating member 31 and the adapter 4, which only needs to exchange the positions of the first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32, and will not be described here. In some other embodiments, the reinforcing member 33 can also not be provided, and the cross-sectional dimension of the second unit 2 is designed to be consistent with the smaller one of the first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32. The adapter 4 can be directly covered on the outer periphery of the smaller one of the first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32 and on the outer periphery of the second unit 2, and the adapter 4 connects the smaller one of the first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32 with the second unit 2.

[0072] In some embodiments, the aerosol generating article 10 further includes a limiting structure including a first limiting structure 51 and a second limiting structure 52. The first limiting structure 51 is provided on one of the first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32. The second limiting structure 52 is provided on the other one of the first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32. The first limiting structure 51 and the second limiting structure 52 are engaged with each other to limit the axial relative displacement between the first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32.

[0073] Further, as shown in the first embodiment of FIGS. 3 and 4 and the second embodiment of FIGS. 7-9, in some embodiments, the first limiting structure 51 includes a first limiting portion 54, and the second limiting structure 52 includes a second limiting portion 55 and a third limiting portion 56. The first limiting portion 54 is provided on one of the first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32, and the second limiting portion 55 and the third limiting portion 56 are provided on the other one of the first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32 in a spaced manner along the direction of the central axis y. The first limiting portion 54 is limited between the second limiting portion 55 and the third limiting portion 56, thereby limiting the axial relative displacement between the first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32. That is, the axial relative displacement between the first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32 can be limited by at least three limiting portions.

[0074] As shown in the first embodiment of FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the first limiting portion 54, the second limiting portion 55 and the third limiting portion 56 are in the form of protrusions. The first limiting portion 54 is protruded on one of the first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32 in a direction perpendicular to the central axis y, and the second limiting portion 55 and the third limiting portion 56 are protruded on the other of the first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32 in a direction perpendicular to the central axis y, and the first limiting portion 54 is clamped between the second limiting portion 55 and the third limiting portion 56. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the first limiting portion 54 can be protruded on the second rotating member 32 in a direction perpendicular to the central axis y, and the second limiting portion 55 and the third limiting portion 56 can be protruded on the first rotating member 31 in a direction perpendicular to the central axis y; or, in other embodiments, the first limiting portion 54 can be protruded on the first rotating member 31 in a direction perpendicular to the central axis y, and the second limiting portion 55 and the third limiting portion 56 can be protruded on the second rotating member 32 in a direction perpendicular to the central axis y. In other embodiments, the protruding direction of the first limiting portion 54, the second limiting portion 55 and the third limiting portion 56 and the central axis y of the aerosol generating article 10 can not be perpendicular to each other (i.e. forming a right angle of 90°), but can form other acute angles.

[0075] Specifically, as shown in the embodiment of FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the third limiting portion 56 and the first rotating member 31 are two separate parts that can be separated, which facilitates the disassembly of the first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32. However, in other embodiments, the third limiting portion 56 and the first rotating member 31 can be integrally formed. The first rotating member 31, the second rotating member 32 and the third limiting portion 56 are all hollow structures, and the first rotating member 31 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the second rotating member 32. The second limiting portion 55 protrudes from the inner periphery of the first rotating member 31 towards the central axis y, and the first limiting portion 54 protrudes from the outer periphery of the second rotating member 32 away from the central axis y. The outer periphery of the third limiting portion 56 cooperates with the inner periphery of the first rotating member 31, and the third limiting portion 56 enters the first rotating member 31 from the upper end of the first rotating member 31 and is located above the first limiting portion 54. As shown in FIG. 3, when the first rotating member 31, the second rotating member 32 and the third limiting portion 56 are installed, with the orientation in the figure as a reference, the upper end surface of the first limiting portion 54 and the lower end surface of the third limiting portion 56 abut, and the lower end surface of the first limiting portion 54 abuts the second limiting portion 55, thereby limiting the axial relative displacement between the first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32 and preventing the first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32 from slipping axially. However, the first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32 can still rotate relative to each other in the circumferential direction.

[0076] Further, in order to allow the first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32 to rotate relative to each other smoothly in the circumferential direction, when the first rotating member 31 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the second rotating member 32, an assembly gap is formed between the inner periphery of the first rotating member 31 and the outer periphery of the second rotating member 32; when the second rotating member 32 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first rotating member 31, an assembly gap is formed between the inner periphery of the second rotating member 32 and the outer periphery of the first rotating member 31. Specifically, as shown in the embodiment of FIG. 4, for the inner periphery of the first rotating member 31, the inner periphery cross-sectional dimension of the position where the second limiting portion 55 is located is defined as R2, and the inner periphery cross-sectional dimension of the other position except the second limiting portion 55 is defined as R1. For the outer periphery of the second rotating member 32, the outer periphery cross-sectional dimension of the position where the first limiting portion 54 is located is defined as R3, and the outer periphery cross-sectional dimension of the other position except the first limiting portion 54 is defined as R4. Among them, R1>R3, R2>R4, so that an assembly gap is formed between the other position on the inner periphery of the first rotating member 31 except the second limiting portion 55 and the position on the outer periphery of the second rotating member 32 where the first limiting portion 54 is located; an assembly gap is formed between the position on the inner periphery of the first rotating member 31 where the second limiting portion 55 is located and the other position on the outer periphery of the second rotating member 32 except the first limiting portion 54. And R1>R3>R2>R4. When the cross-sectional shape of the first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32 is circular, the cross-sectional dimensions R1 and R2 refer to the inner diameter, and R3 and R4 refer to the outer diameter. However, the cross-sectional shape of the first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32 is not limited to be circular, but can also be other shapes. In addition, the outer periphery of the third limiting portion 56 and the inner periphery of the first rotating member 31 can not leave an assembly gap. Specifically, the outer periphery cross-sectional dimension of the third limiting portion 56 is defined as R5, which is greater than or equal to R1, so that the third limiting portion 56 and the inner periphery of the first rotating member 31 are tightly fitted or interference fitted, the relative position between the third limiting portion 56 and the first rotating member 31 does not change, and the axial slipping between the second rotating member 32 and the first rotating member 31 is effectively limited.

[0077] In the first embodiment, the first rotating member 31, the second rotating member 32, and the third limiting portion 56 are all hollow structures, and the hollow positions of the first rotating member 31, the second rotating member 32, and the third limiting portion 56 can be filled with a cooling unit. The cooling unit is beneficial to the cooling of the aerosol and improves the flow rate of the aerosol. The material of the cooling unit can include at least one of silica gel, polylactic acid, or other heat phase change materials.

[0078] As shown in FIGS. 7-9, in the second embodiment, different from the first embodiment, the first limiting portion 54 threadedly extends along one of the first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32, the second limiting portion 55 threadedly extends along the other of the first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32, the third limiting portion 56 is in the form of a ring structure, and the first limiting portion 54 is snap-fitted between the second limiting portion 55 and the third limiting portion 56. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, in this embodiment, the first limiting portion 54 is provided on the first rotating member 31 and threadedly extends along the circumference of the first rotating member 31. The second limiting portion 55 and the third limiting portion 56 are provided on the second rotating member 32 in a spaced-apart manner, and the second limiting portion 55 threadedly extends along the circumference of the second rotating member 32. In other embodiments, the first limiting portion 54 can be provided on the second rotating member 32 and threadedly extend along the circumference of the second rotating member 32. The second limiting portion 55 and the third limiting portion 56 are provided on the first rotating member 31 in a spaced-apart manner, and the second limiting portion 55 threadedly extends along the circumference of the first rotating member 31. The first limiting portion 54 is limited between the second limiting portion 55 and the third limiting portion 56. In the second embodiment, the axial displacement between the first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32 is limited by limiting the first limiting portion 54 between the second limiting portion 55 and the third limiting portion 56, effectively preventing the axial slippage of the two. The thread shapes of the first limiting portion 54 and the second limiting portion 55 are adapted to each other. During installation, the second rotating member 32 can be screwed into the first rotating member 31 by using the adapted thread shapes, so that the second limiting portion 55 is placed above the first limiting portion 54, and the third limiting portion 56 is placed below the first limiting portion 54.

[0079] In the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the first rotating member 31 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the second rotating member 32, the first limiting portion 54 is provided on the inner circumference of the first rotating member 31, and the second limiting portion 55 and the third limiting portion 56 are provided on the outer circumference of the second rotating member 32. The height of the second limiting portion 55 protruding relative to the second rotating member 32 is equal to the height of the third limiting portion 56 protruding relative to the second rotating member 32, and both are defined as H2.

[0080] As shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, further, in order to limit the first limiting part 54 between the second limiting part 55 and the third limiting part 56, the height H2 of the second limiting part 55 and the third limiting part 56 protruding relative to the second rotating member 32 can satisfy: R6-H1<H2+R7<R6, where R7 is the outer circumferential cross-sectional dimension of the second rotating member 32, R6 is the inner circumferential cross-sectional dimension of the first rotating member 31, and H1 is the height of the first limiting part 54 protruding relative to the inner circumference of the first rotating member 31. When the cross-sectional shape of the first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32 is circular, the cross-sectional dimension R6 refers to the inner diameter, and R7 refers to the outer diameter. Because H2+R7<R6, the second limiting part 55 can be fitted into the interior of the first rotating member 31, and the second limiting part 55 is screwed above the first limiting part 54 through the threaded fit, and the first limiting part 54 cannot pass the second limiting part 55 through axial displacement. At the same time, because R6-H1<H2+R7, the cross-sectional dimension at the first limiting part 54 is smaller than the cross-sectional dimension at the third limiting part 56, so the first limiting part 54 cannot pass the third limiting part 56. Thus, through the dimensional limitation, the first limiting part 54 is effectively limited between the second limiting part 55 and the third limiting part 56, preventing the axial slippage phenomenon between the first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32, and the threaded fit also facilitates the assembly of the parts.

[0081] As shown in FIG. 10, in the third embodiment, the limiting structure includes the first limiting structure 51 provided on the second rotating member 32 and the second limiting structure 52 provided on the second rotating member 32. The first limiting structure 51 is a boss, and the second limiting structure 52 is a groove, and the first limiting structure 51 and the second limiting structure 52 are engaged with each other to limit the axial relative displacement between the first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the first limiting structure 51 and the second limiting structure 52 can also be threaded structures. The positions of the first limiting structure 51 and the second limiting structure 52 can be exchanged, and will not be described here.

[0082] As shown in FIGS. 11-14, in the fourth embodiment, the first rotating member 31 has a first variable-diameter connecting portion 310 formed thereon, and the second rotating member 32 has a second variable-diameter connecting portion 320 formed thereon. The cross-sectional dimension of the first variable-diameter connecting portion 310 and the cross-sectional dimension of the second variable-diameter connecting portion 320 gradually decrease in the same preset direction, which in this embodiment is the direction toward the second unit 2. In other embodiments, the preset direction can also be the direction toward the first unit 1. Specifically, in this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the first rotating member 31 and the cross-sectional shape of the second rotating member 32 are both circular, and the diameter of the first variable-diameter connecting portion 310 and the diameter of the second variable-diameter connecting portion 320 gradually decrease in the same preset direction. In this way, by the mutual restriction of the first variable-diameter connecting portion 310 and the second variable-diameter connecting portion 320, the relative axial displacement of the first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32 is limited, and the phenomenon of axial slippage of the two is avoided.

[0083] Further, as shown in the embodiment of FIG. 12, the first rotating member 31 has a first end and a second end, and the first end is closer to the second rotating member 32 than the second end. The first variable-diameter connecting portion 310 is arranged at the first end of the first rotating member 31. The second rotating member 32 has a third end and a fourth end, and the third end is closer to the first rotating member 31 than the fourth end. The second variable-diameter connecting portion 320 is arranged between the third end and the fourth end, and is closer to the third end.

The material of the third limiting portion 56 can include at least one of white cardboard, oil-proof paper, a high polymer material (such as polypropylene PP, polyethylene PE, polylactic acid PLA, silica gel, etc.), an inorganic non-metallic material (such as ceramic, glass, polyether ether ketone PEEK, quartz, etc.), a composite wave-transparent material. The material of the reinforcing member 33 can include at least one of a high polymer material (such as polypropylene PP, polyethylene PE, polylactic acid PLA, etc.), paper, an inorganic non-metallic material (such as ceramic, glass, polyether ether ketone PEEK, quartz, etc.), a composite wave-transparent material.

The end of the first unit 1 facing the second unit 2 has a first opening 111. The first opening 111 can be defined by the first outer wrapping structure 11.

The cylinder 34 can partially enter the first space 110 of the first unit 1 from the first opening 111, and can partially enter the second space 210 of the second unit 2 from the second opening 211.

[0092] In the present embodiment, the outer side wall of the cylinder 34 is provided with a second fitting structure 35. The second fitting structure 35 can be used to fit with the first fitting structure 112, so as to connect the first unit 1 and the connecting unit 3, to realize the relative rotation of the first unit 1 and the connecting unit 3, and to limit the first unit 1 and the connecting unit 3, so as to avoid the first unit 1 from being separated from the connecting unit 3. The second fitting structure 35 is located at one end of the cylinder 34 and extends along the circumference of the cylinder 34. In the present embodiment, the second fitting structure 35 is integrally formed with the cylinder 34. In some embodiments, the second fitting structure 35 can be omitted, and the first unit 1 can be directly sleeved on the cylinder 34.

[0093] In the present embodiment, the second fitting structure 35 can include a first external thread structure.

In the present embodiment, the fourth connecting structure 36 can be arranged at the other end of the barrel 34 and can be spaced apart from the second connecting structure 35, and the space therebetween forms a groove 37. In the present embodiment, the fourth connecting structure 36 can be integrally formed with the barrel 34.

The second unit 2 can be rotated relative to the first unit 1 through the cooperation of the fourth fitting structure 36 and the third fitting structure 212.

[0100] As shown in FIGS. 23 to 25, in the seventh embodiment, the difference from the fifth embodiment is that the connecting unit 3 can be omitted, or the connecting unit 3 and the second unit 2 can be integrally formed.

[0103] In some embodiments, the second unit 2 can be rotated under the drive of a driving mechanism (not shown). The driving mechanism can be connected with the second unit 2, which can drive the second unit 2 to rotate.

[0104] As shown in FIG. 14, the aerosol generating device of an embodiment of the present application further comprises a driving unit 6, which is in transmission connection with the connecting unit 3. Specifically, the driving unit 6 is in transmission connection with the first rotating member 31 or the second rotating member 32 to drive one of the first rotating member 31 and the second rotating member 32 to rotate coaxially relative to the other, thereby driving one of the first unit 1 and the second unit 2 to rotate coaxially relative to the other.

The torque output by the motor 60 is transmitted to the first gear 61, the second gear 62 and the fixing seat 63 in sequence, thereby driving the fixing seat 63 to rotate around the central axis y, and driving the aerosol generating article 10 to rotate around the central axis y. In use, one end of the aerosol generating article 10 close to the second unit 2 is loaded into the fixing seat 63, and the other end of the aerosol generating article 10 close to the first unit 1 is exposed outside for a user to smoke. The fixing seat 63 is sleeved on the periphery of the second rotating member 32, specifically, the fixing seat 63 is sleeved on the adapter 4 on the periphery of the second rotating member 32, thereby driving the second rotating member 32 to rotate around the central axis y, and the second unit 2 can also rotate around the central axis y. After the heating structure heats one side of the second unit 2 for a period of time, the second unit 2 rotates around the central axis y by a certain angle, so that the aerosol generating substrate heating area can be heated, and the uniformity of heating is better.
