[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese Utility Model Patent Application No. 202421839144.1, filed on July 31, 2024, entitled “Heated Non-combustible Device and Aerosol Generation System”, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This application relates to the field of aerosol generation technology, specifically to a heating non-combustible device and an aerosol generation system. Background Technology

[0004] A heated non-combustible device is a device that heats aerosol products to generate aerosols. The aerosol products are typically cylindrical, including a filter section and a smoke-generating matrix section. The heated non-combustible device has a receiving cavity. During suction, most of the aerosol product is located within this cavity to improve its stability. After suction, the user needs to remove the aerosol product from the cavity and discard it. This design has two drawbacks: first, to ensure most of the aerosol product is within the cavity, the cavity is usually set relatively high, making cleaning difficult; second, discarding the entire aerosol product after suction is wasteful and increases user costs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a heated non-combustible device and an aerosol generation system, aiming to solve the technical problems of inconvenient cleaning of heated non-combustible devices and high cost of aerosol products.

[0006] This application provides a heated non-combustible device in some embodiments, comprising: a main unit having a mounting position and a mounting channel, the mounting channel communicating with the mounting position; a gas nozzle detachably connected to the mounting channel of the main unit; and a cartridge chamber movably or detachably connected to the mounting position; the cartridge chamber having a receiving cavity and a take-out port, the take-out port communicating with the receiving cavity, the receiving cavity being used to receive a smoking product; wherein the gas nozzle has a sleeve portion, the sleeve portion being movable from the mounting channel to pass through the take-out port and engage with the end of the smoking product in the receiving cavity, so that when the gas nozzle is removed from the main unit, it can drive the smoking product out of the receiving cavity through the take-out port and the mounting channel.

[0007] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the free end of the socket is trumpet-shaped.

[0008] In some embodiments, the sleeve portion has a sleeve cavity for engaging with the smoking article; the inner wall of the sleeve cavity is provided with a positioning step that protrudes radially along the sleeve cavity, the positioning step for abutting against the smoking article to limit the embedding depth of the smoking article within the sleeve cavity.

[0009] In some embodiments, the distance from the positioning step to the opening of the socket cavity is less than the axial length of the receiving cavity, and greater than or equal to half the axial length of the receiving cavity.

[0010] In some embodiments, a filter is also included, disposed within the nozzle, for filtering aerosols entering the nozzle.

[0011] In some embodiments, the air nozzle has a first connecting portion, and the mounting channel and / or the outer wall of the host has a second connecting portion, wherein the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are detachably connected to achieve a detachable connection between the air nozzle and the host.

[0012] In some embodiments, the first connecting portion includes a mating portion, and the second connecting portion includes a clamping portion or a sealing element, wherein the clamping portion or the sealing element is located within the mounting channel and is used for an interference fit with the mating portion; or, the first connecting portion includes an external thread, and the second connecting portion includes an internal thread, wherein the internal thread is disposed on the inner side of the mounting channel and is used for threaded connection with the external thread; or, the first connecting portion includes a first magnetic element, and the second connecting portion includes a second magnetic element, wherein the second magnetic element is disposed on the inner side of the mounting channel and is used for magnetic attraction engagement with the first magnetic element; or, the first connecting portion includes a first latch, and the second connecting portion includes a second latch, wherein the second latch is disposed on the inner side of the mounting channel and / or the outer wall of the host unit and is used for engagement with the first latch.

[0013] In some embodiments, a sealing ring is also included on at least one of the mounting position and the magazine, the sealing ring being arranged around the outer periphery of the loading / unloading port when the magazine is mounted on the mounting position, and sealing the gap between the magazine and the mounting position.

[0014] In some embodiments, the accommodating cavity has a closed state and an open state, and the magazine is movable relative to the mounting position to switch the accommodating cavity between the closed state and the open state; when the accommodating cavity is in the closed state, the magazine is mounted at the mounting position, and the loading / unloading port engages with and communicates with the mounting channel, so that the sleeve can move from the mounting channel to pass through the loading / unloading port; when the accommodating cavity is in the open state, the magazine is at least partially disengaged from the mounting position, and the loading / unloading port is exposed to the main unit.

[0015] In some embodiments, the magazine is provided with at least two receiving cavities and at least two loading / unloading ports, and the loading / unloading ports are connected to the receiving cavities one by one; when the magazine is installed in the mounting position, each receiving cavity can be selectively connected to the mounting channel through the loading / unloading port connected to it.

[0016] Some embodiments of this application also provide an aerosol generating system, including a smoke-generating article and a first aspect of a heated non-combustible device, wherein the smoke-generating article is detachably housed within a receiving cavity of the heated non-combustible device.

[0017] According to the heated non-combustible device and aerosol generating system of the above embodiments, by providing a accommodating cavity to house the smoke-generating product, and since the length of the smoke-generating product is significantly shortened compared to the entire aerosol product, the height of the accommodating cavity does not need to be very high, thus facilitating cleaning of the accommodating cavity. Furthermore, by providing a movable or detachable connection between the cartridge and the mounting position, the cartridge can be at least partially detached from the mounting position, allowing at least part of the cartridge to be exposed to the main unit, facilitating separate cleaning of the cartridge. By providing a nozzle to remove the old smoke-generating product, burns to the user can be avoided during removal, and since only the smoke-generating product needs to be replaced, the nozzle can continue to be used, avoiding waste and reducing costs. Therefore, the heated non-combustible device provided in this embodiment is easy to clean, improves the user experience, avoids waste, and reduces costs. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The serial numbers assigned to components in this document, such as "first" and "second," are used to distinguish the objects being described and do not have any sequential or technical meaning. The terms "connection" and "linkage" used in this application, unless otherwise specified, include both direct and indirect connections (linkages).

[0035] Example 1:

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 9. This application embodiment provides a heated non-combustible device 100, including a main unit 10, a nozzle 20, and a cartridge 30. The main unit 10 has a mounting position 11 and a mounting channel 12, with the mounting channel 12 communicating with the mounting position 11. The nozzle 20 is detachably connected to the mounting channel 12 of the main unit 10 and can move within the mounting channel 12. The cartridge 30 is movably or detachably connected to the mounting position 11. The cartridge 30 has a receiving cavity 31 and a take-out port 32, with the take-out port 32 communicating with the receiving cavity 31. The receiving cavity 31 is used to receive a smoking product 200. The nozzle 20 has a sleeve portion 21, which can move from the mounting channel 12 to pass through the take-out port 32 and engage with the end of the smoking product 200 in the receiving cavity 31, so that when the nozzle 20 is removed from the main unit 10, it can move the smoking product 200 out of the receiving cavity 31 through the take-out port 32 and the mounting channel 12.

[0037] In some embodiments, after the smoking product 200 in the accommodating cavity 31 has finished heating, the sleeve portion 21 of the nozzle 20 can be moved to pass through the take-out port 32 and sleeved onto the smoking product 200. When the nozzle 20 is removed from the mounting channel 12 of the main unit 10, since the sleeve portion 21 of the nozzle 20 is sleeved onto the smoking product 200, the sleeved smoking product 200 can be moved out of the accommodating cavity 31 by passing through the take-out port 32 and the mounting channel 12 in sequence, thereby realizing the removal of the old smoking product 200. After the old smoking product 200 is removed, the empty nozzle 20 can be reinstalled into the mounting channel 12 for continued use.

[0038] By adopting the above technical solution, the smoke-generating product 200 is housed in a accommodating cavity 31. Since the length of the smoke-generating product 200 is significantly shorter than that of an aerosol product with a filter, the height of the accommodating cavity 31 does not need to be very high, thus facilitating cleaning. Furthermore, by movably or detachably connecting the cartridge 30 to the mounting position 11, the cartridge 30 can be at least partially detached from the mounting position 11, allowing it to be at least partially exposed to the main unit 10, facilitating separate cleaning of the cartridge 30. By using the nozzle 20 to remove the old smoke-generating product 200, burns to the user during removal are avoided. Moreover, only the smoke-generating product 200 needs to be replaced, while the nozzle 20 can continue to be used, avoiding waste and reducing costs. Therefore, the heated non-combustible device 100 provided in this embodiment is easy to clean, improves the user experience, avoids waste, and reduces costs.

[0039] It should be noted that the nozzle 20 has a suction position and a removal position. When the nozzle 20 is in the suction position, the smoke-generating product 200 can be heated to generate an aerosol, and the aerosol can flow to the nozzle 20 and be drawn out. When the nozzle 20 is in the removal position, the smoke-generating product 200 cannot be heated. Optionally, when the nozzle 20 is in the suction position, the nozzle 20 is installed in the installation channel 12 but is not fitted with the smoke-generating product 200. The aerosol generated by the heated smoke-generating product 200 in the receiving cavity 31 can flow to the nozzle 20 and be drawn out through the nozzle 20. When the nozzle 20 is in the removal position, the nozzle 20 is fitted with the smoke-generating product 200 and can move the smoke-generating product 200 out of the receiving cavity 31 and detach it from the main unit 10 when it is detached from the main unit 10. In addition, the length of the nozzle 20 exposed outside the main unit 10 when it is in the removal position is shorter than the length of the nozzle 20 exposed outside the main unit 10 when it is in the suction position. Users can judge whether suction can be performed based on the length of the nozzle 20 exposed.

[0040] The accommodating cavity 31 has a closed state and an open state, and the magazine 30 can move relative to the mounting position 11 to switch the accommodating cavity 31 between the closed state and the open state. When the accommodating cavity 31 is in the closed state, the magazine 30 is mounted in the mounting position 11, the take-out port 32 is connected to and communicates with the mounting channel 12, so that the sleeve 21 can move from the mounting channel 12 to pass through the take-out port 32, and the aerosol in the accommodating cavity 31 can flow to the air nozzle 20 through the take-out port 32; when the accommodating cavity 31 is in the open state, the magazine 30 is at least partially detached from the mounting position 11, and the take-out port 32 is exposed to the main unit 10.

[0041] In other words, when the accommodating cavity 31 is closed, the magazine 30 is placed in the mounting position 11, the loading / unloading port 32 of the magazine 30 is connected to and connected to the mounting channel 12, and the accommodating cavity 31 is connected to the nozzle 20. The aerosol generated by the heated smoke-generating product 200 in the accommodating cavity 31 can flow through the loading / unloading port 32 to the nozzle 20, so that the aerosol can flow out from the nozzle 20. Furthermore, the sleeve 21 of the nozzle 20 can move to pass through the loading / unloading port 32 and engage with the smoke-generating product 200 in the accommodating cavity 31. When the accommodating cavity 31 is open, the magazine 30 is at least partially detached from the mounting position 11, and the loading / unloading port 32 is exposed to the main unit 10. At this time, the empty accommodating cavity 31 can be cleaned through the exposed loading / unloading port 32, and a new smoke-generating product 200 can be loaded into the accommodating cavity 31.

[0042] Referring to Figure 6, the nozzle 20 also includes an exposed portion 22, with a fitting portion 21 disposed at the end of the exposed portion 22 near the receiving cavity 31. That is, when the nozzle 20 is installed in the mounting channel 12, the fitting portion 21 is positioned near the receiving cavity 31, while the exposed portion 22 is positioned away from the receiving cavity 31 and exposed outside the main unit 10. Thus, the user can apply force to the nozzle 20 using the exposed portion 22 as a point of leverage, causing the nozzle 20 to move towards the receiving cavity 31 and engage with the smoking product 200, and also causing the nozzle 20 to move away from the receiving cavity 31 and detach it from the main unit 10. Additionally, the user can place part of the exposed portion 22 in their mouth and inhale the aerosol flowing into the nozzle 20 through the exposed portion 22.

[0043] Referring to Figures 6, 8, and 9, the socket 21 has a socket cavity 211 for engaging with the smoking product 200. In some embodiments, the inner wall of the socket cavity 211 is interference-fitted with the outer periphery of the smoking product 200 so that the nozzle 20 can move the smoking product 200 out of the receiving cavity 31 when it is removed from the main unit 10. Figure 9 shows the case where the inner wall of the free end of the socket 21 is funnel-shaped, that is, the free end of the socket cavity 211 is funnel-shaped with a smaller inner side and a larger outer side. Thus, as the socket 21 moves from top to bottom toward the receiving cavity 31, when the socket 21 passes through the take-up and put-out port 32 of the receiving cavity 31, the funnel-shaped end of the socket cavity 211 first contacts the outer periphery of the smoking product 200, thereby allowing the smoking product 200 to be guided into the socket cavity 211 of the nozzle 20 using the inclined surface of the socket cavity 211.

[0044] Please refer to Figures 6, 8, and 9. The inner wall of the socket 211 is provided with a positioning step 212 that protrudes radially along the socket 211. The positioning step 212 is used to abut against the smoking product 200 to limit the embedding depth of the smoking product 200 in the socket 211. By setting the positioning step 212 to abut against the smoking product 200, the smoking product 200 can be prevented from being over-sleeved in the socket 211, thereby facilitating the removal of the smoking product 200 from the socket 211.

[0045] In one embodiment, the distance from the positioning step 212 to the opening of the socket cavity 211 is less than the axial length of the receiving cavity 31, but greater than or equal to half the axial length of the receiving cavity 31. To ensure that the smoking article 200 can be well accommodated within the receiving cavity 31, the length of the receiving cavity 31 is typically set to be the same as or slightly longer than the length of the smoking article 200. By setting the distance from the positioning step 212 to the opening of the socket cavity 211 to be less than the axial length of the receiving cavity 31, but greater than or equal to half the axial length of the receiving cavity 31, the distance from the positioning step 212 to the opening of the socket cavity 211 is made to be less than the length of the smoking article 200, but greater than or equal to half the length of the smoking article 200. In this way, the smoking product 200 is not too small to fit into the socket 211, and the smoking product 200 is not overfitted into the socket 211. On the one hand, it ensures that the smoking product 200 is securely fitted into the socket 211, and on the other hand, it allows the smoking product 200 to be easily removed from the socket 211.

[0046] Please refer to Figures 1 and 4. The heated non-combustible device 100 also includes a filter 40, which is disposed inside the gas nozzle 20. The filter 40 is used to filter the aerosol entering the gas nozzle 20. This improves the user experience.

[0047] In one embodiment, the nozzle 20 has a first connecting portion 23, and the mounting channel 12 and / or the outer wall of the main unit 10 has a second connecting portion 13. The first connecting portion 23 and the second connecting portion 13 are detachably connected to achieve a detachable connection between the nozzle 20 and the main unit 10.

[0048] Referring to Figure 4, in one embodiment, the first connecting portion 23 includes a mating portion 231, and the second connecting portion 13 includes a clamping portion 131. The clamping portion 131 is located within the mounting channel 12 and is used for an interference fit with the mating portion 231. In this embodiment, the entire outer surface of the nozzle 20 is configured as the mating portion 231, and the entire inner wall of the mounting channel 12 is configured as the clamping portion 131. When the nozzle 20 is installed in the mounting channel 12, its outer periphery is in an interference fit with the inner wall of the mounting channel 12. It is understood that in other embodiments, it is also possible for a portion of the inner wall of the mounting channel 12 to be configured as the clamping portion 131.

[0049] Referring to Figure 10, in another embodiment, the first connecting portion 23 includes a mating portion 231, and the second connecting portion 13 includes a sealing member 132. The sealing member 132 is located within the mounting channel 12 and is used for an interference fit with the mating portion 231. The entire outer surface of the nozzle 20 is configured as the mating portion 231, and when the nozzle 20 is installed within the mounting channel 12, its outer periphery is in an interference fit with the sealing member 132 located within the mounting channel 12.

[0050] In some embodiments, the first connecting portion 23 and the second connecting portion 13 can also be configured with other structures to achieve a detachable connection between the air nozzle 20 and the main unit 10. For example, the first connecting portion 23 includes an external thread, and the second connecting portion 13 includes an internal thread, with the internal thread located inside the mounting channel 12 for threaded connection with the external thread; or, the first connecting portion 23 includes a first magnetic element, and the second connecting portion 13 includes a second magnetic element, with the second magnetic element located inside the mounting channel 12 for magnetic engagement with the first magnetic element; or, the first connecting portion 23 includes a first latch, and the second connecting portion 13 includes a second latch, with the second latch located inside the mounting channel 12 and / or on the outer wall of the main unit 10 for engagement with the first latch.

[0051] Please refer to Figures 2, 3, and 7. The mounting position 11 includes a notch 111 formed on the side of the main unit 10, penetrating at least two sides of the main unit 10. When the receiving cavity 31 is in the open state, the loading and unloading port 32 of the magazine 30 is located outside the notch 111. In this embodiment, the main unit 10 includes a first side wall 112, a second side wall 113, and a third side wall 114. The first side wall 112 and the second side wall 113 are disposed opposite to each other, and the third side wall 114 is connected between the first side wall 112 and the second side wall 113. The first side wall 112, the second side wall 113, and the third side wall 114 enclose the notch 111 of the mounting position 11. The mounting position 11 penetrates three sides of the main unit 10, and the mounting channel 12 is opened at one end near the mounting position 11 on the first side wall 112.

[0052] In some embodiments, a connecting assembly (not shown) can be provided between at least one of the first sidewall 112, the second sidewall 113, and the third sidewall 114 and the magazine 30, so that the magazine 30 is movably connected to the mounting position 11 or detachably connected to the mounting position 11. For example, one of the magazine 30 and the mounting position 11 is provided with a slider, and the other is provided with a slide groove that slides with the slider, so that the detachable connection is achieved by the sliding engagement of the slider and the slide groove. In addition, the magazine 30 and the mounting position 11 can also be movably connected by providing an eccentric rotating shaft and a rotating groove.

[0053] Referring to Figure 7, the magazine 30 also has a first air inlet 33, which connects the outside of the magazine 30 and the accommodating cavity 31. By providing the first air inlet 33, gas from outside the magazine 30 can enter the accommodating cavity 31, thereby allowing the aerosol in the accommodating cavity 31 to flow out with the airflow.

[0054] Please refer to Figures 2, 4, and 7. The first air inlet 33 is positioned opposite to the take-up and put-out port 32. The main unit 10 also includes a second air inlet 14 and an air intake channel 15 communicating with the second air inlet 14. When the accommodating cavity 31 is in a closed state, the end of the air intake channel 15 away from the second air inlet 14 is connected to and communicates with the first air inlet 33. When using the heated non-combustible device 100, the take-up and put-out port 32 is usually located above the accommodating cavity 31 so that the smoke-generating product 200 is not easily detached from the accommodating cavity 31, and so that the aerosol generated by the smoke-generating product 200 can flow upward and out of the accommodating cavity 31. With the first air inlet 33 positioned opposite to the take-up and put-out port 32, the first air inlet 33 is located below the magazine 30. The end of the air intake channel 15 away from the second air inlet 14 is opened on the second side wall 113 so that it can be connected to and communicate with the first air inlet 33 when the accommodating cavity 31 is in a closed state. The second air inlet 14 can be located at any part of the main unit 10, such as the bottom or side of the main unit 10.

[0055] In some embodiments, gas can enter the accommodating cavity 31 from the outside through the second air inlet 14, the air inlet channel 15 and the first air inlet 33, and flow through the accommodating cavity 31 to the air nozzle 20. The aerosol in the accommodating cavity 31 can flow to the air nozzle 20 with the airflow.

[0056] It is understood that in other embodiments, the first air inlet 33 may also be located on the side wall of the magazine 30, that is, the first air inlet 33 is located on the side of the accommodating cavity 31. In some embodiments, gas can enter the accommodating cavity 31 from the side of the heated non-combustible device 100 through the notch 111 and the first air inlet 33, and then flow to the air nozzle 20 through the take-up and put-out port 32. The aerosol in the accommodating cavity 31 can be drawn out to the air nozzle 20 along with the gas.

[0057] In one embodiment, the diameter of the first air inlet 33 is smaller than the diameter of the take-up and put-out port 32. In some embodiments, the diameter of the first air inlet 33 is smaller than the diameter of the smoke-generating article 200, thus ensuring that the smoke-generating article 200 does not detach from the receiving cavity 31 from the first air inlet 33.

[0058] In one embodiment, the heated non-combustible device 100 further includes a sealing ring 50 disposed on at least one of the mounting position 11 and the cartridge 30. The sealing ring 50 is used to surround the outer periphery of the loading port 32 when the cartridge 30 is installed in the mounting position 11, and to seal the gap between the cartridge 30 and the mounting position 11. In some embodiments, the aerosol generated by the heating of the smoke-generating article 200 located in the receiving cavity 31 flows to the nozzle 20 through the loading port 32. By providing the sealing ring 50 to seal the gap between the cartridge 30 and the mounting position 11, the aerosol can be prevented from flowing out of the gap between the cartridge 30 and the mounting position 11 when it flows from the loading port 32 to the nozzle 20, thereby improving the airtightness of the heated non-combustible device 100.

[0059] Referring to Figures 2, 4, and 7, in one embodiment, the sealing ring 50 is disposed on the side of the magazine 30 facing the first sidewall 112 and surrounds the loading / unloading port 32. In some embodiments, a sealing groove 34 is provided on the side of the magazine 30 facing the first sidewall 112, and the sealing ring 50 is installed in the sealing groove 34. It is understood that in other embodiments, the sealing ring 50 may also be disposed on the first sidewall 112, and in this case, the sealing groove 34 may be disposed on the first sidewall 112.

[0060] In one embodiment, the heated non-combustible device 100 further includes a heating component (not shown) for heating the smoke-generating article 200 within the accommodating cavity 31 to generate an aerosol. The heating component can be disposed within the cartridge 30, the main unit 10, or partially within both the cartridge 30 and the main unit 10. Furthermore, depending on the arrangement, the heating component can employ resistance heating, electromagnetic induction heating, or any heating method such as microwave, infrared, or ultrasonic heating. Additionally, the heating component can employ circumferential heating, hot airflow heating, or a combination of both. It should be noted that the placement of the heating component is not limited herein.

[0061] This application also provides an aerosol generation system, including a smoke-generating product 200 and a heated non-combustible device 100, wherein the smoke-generating product 200 is detachably housed within the receiving cavity 31 of the heated non-combustible device 100. By employing the heated non-combustible device 100, cleaning is convenient, improving the user experience, avoiding waste, and reducing costs.

[0062] Example 2:

[0063] The main difference between the heated non-combustible device 100 and the aerosol generation system provided in this embodiment and those in Embodiment 1 is that the number of accommodating cavities 31 provided in the magazine 30 is different. Specifically, in Embodiment 1, the magazine 30 is provided with one accommodating cavity 31; while in this embodiment, the magazine 30 is provided with at least two accommodating cavities 31.

[0064] Please refer to Figures 11 and 12. The magazine 30 is provided with at least two receiving cavities 31 and at least two take-out ports 32. The take-out ports 32 are connected to the receiving cavities 31 in a one-to-one correspondence. When the magazine 30 is installed in the mounting position 11, each receiving cavity 31 can be selectively connected to the mounting channel 12 through the take-out port 32 connected to it. That is, only one smoke product 200 in the receiving cavity 31 is heated to generate aerosol and flows to the air nozzle 20.

[0065] By setting at least two receiving cavities 31, at least two smoke generators 200 can be loaded into or removed from the magazine 30 at one time. There is no need to load a new smoke generator 200 after using one smoke generator 200 to continue using it. This reduces the frequency of replacing smoke generators 200 and extends the time difference between two replacements, greatly improving the user experience.

[0066] The accommodating cavities 31 can be two, three, four, five, etc., and the arrangement of the multiple accommodating cavities 31 is not limited. They can be arranged in a straight line, a curve, or in a ring. In some embodiments, the multiple accommodating cavities 31 are arranged in a ring along the central axis of the magazine 30.

[0067] In some embodiments, the magazine 30 is at least partially disengaged from the mounting position 11 so that all the accommodating cavities 31 of the magazine 30 are open, a new smoke-generating product 200 is placed in each accommodating cavity 31, and then the magazine 30 is mounted in the mounting position 11. After the smoke-generating product 200 in the accommodating cavity 31 connected to the installation channel 12 has been heated, the nozzle 20 can be moved toward the accommodating cavity 31. After the nozzle 20 is fitted onto the smoke-generating product 200, the nozzle 20 is moved away from the accommodating cavity 31 and removed from the main unit 10, so that the smoke-generating product 200 after heating can be taken out. After the smoke-generating product 200 is separated from the nozzle 20, the nozzle 20 is reinstalled in the installation channel 12, and the next accommodating cavity 31 of the magazine 30 is connected to the installation channel 12 to heat the smoke-generating product 200 in the next accommodating cavity 31, until all the smoke-generating products 200 in all the accommodating cavities 31 of the magazine 30 have been heated and taken out by the nozzle 20. Then, the magazine 30 is at least partially removed from the installation position 11, and a new smoke-generating product 200 is put into the magazine 30 again.

[0068] Please refer to Figures 11 and 12. The magazine 30 is also provided with at least two first air inlets 33, which are connected to the receiving cavities 31 in a one-to-one correspondence. When the magazine 30 is installed in the mounting position 11, the first air inlets 33 corresponding to the receiving cavities 31 connected to the mounting channel 12 are connected to and connected to the air intake channel 15.

[0069] Apart from the differences mentioned above, the heating non-combustible device 100 and other components provided in this embodiment can be designed with reference to Embodiment 1, and will not be described in detail here.
