[0041] Figure 1 illustrates an aerosol generation system 100 according to some embodiments of the present invention. The aerosol generation system 100 includes an aerosol generation device 10 and a charging device 20 mated with the aerosol generation device 10. The aerosol generation device 10 is used to contain an aerosol generation matrix and heat the aerosol generation matrix upon energization. The charging device 20 is electrically connected to the aerosol generation device 10 to communicate with and / or charge the aerosol generation device 10.

[0042] The aerosol generating device 10 and the charging device 20 can be connected together in a detachable manner (e.g., threaded connection, magnetic connection, detachable snap-fit). In this way, the aerosol generating device 10 can be used independently, allowing the user to heat the aerosol generating matrix to generate aerosols. Alternatively, the aerosol generating device 10 can be attached to the charging device 20, allowing the charging device 20 to charge the aerosol generating device 10.

[0043] The aerosol generation system 100 can be applied to the field of electronic cigarettes, as well as other fields such as medical or beauty. The cross-sectional shape of the aerosol generation device 10 and the charging device 20 is not limited; for example, it can have various cross-sectional shapes such as racetrack shape, ellipse, circle, square, polygon, etc.

[0044] The aerosol generating apparatus 10 typically includes a housing 11 and a heater disposed within the housing 11. The heater is used to heat the aerosol generating matrix contained within the housing 11 after being energized. The heating method of the heater is not limited; for example, it can employ one or more of the following heating methods: resistance heating, electromagnetic heating, infrared heating, infrared radiation heating, ultrasonic heating, microwave heating, plasma heating, etc.

[0045] Typically, the aerosol generating device 10 may also include a battery cell and a control circuit disposed in the housing 11. The control circuit is electrically connected to the battery cell and the heater respectively, and is used to control the on and off of power between the battery cell and the heater.

[0046] The charging device 20 includes a power housing 21 and a rechargeable battery disposed in the power housing 21. The rechargeable battery can be electrically connected to the battery cell of the aerosol generating device 10 to charge the battery cell.

[0047] In some embodiments, the aerosol generating device 10 may further include an airflow sensor disposed in the housing 11. The airflow sensor is electrically connected to the control circuit and fluidly communicates with the airflow channel within the aerosol generating device 10. The airflow sensor can detect changes in the suction airflow within the airflow channel, and the control circuit can control whether to start the aerosol generating device 10 based on the signal emitted by the airflow sensor.

[0048] In some embodiments, the aerosol generating device 10 can be used in conjunction with an aerosol generating article comprising an aerosol generating matrix, and the aerosol generating device 10 is capable of receiving at least a portion of the aerosol generating article. The aerosol generating article is cylindrical (e.g., cylindrical), for example, it can be a cigarette. The aerosol generating matrix may include one or more solid aerosol generating materials such as filaments, flakes, grass blades, granules, and powders. The aerosol generating device 10 is a heated non-combustible aerosol generating device, and one end (shown as the upper end) of the housing 11 has a socket 110 for inserting the aerosol generating article, which can be inserted into the housing 11 through the socket 110. When energized, the aerosol generating device 10 heats at least a portion of the aerosol generating article inserted therein to release aerosol extracts from the aerosol generating matrix in a non-combustible state.

[0049] In some embodiments, the aerosol generating apparatus 10 may employ tubular peripheral heating, i.e., the aerosol generating apparatus 10 uses a heating tube, and the aerosol generating article is at least partially inserted into the heating tube. After the heating tube is energized and heats up, it heats the aerosol generating article contained therein. In other embodiments, the aerosol generating apparatus 10 may also employ center-embedded heating, i.e., the aerosol generating apparatus 10 uses a heater such as a heating plate or heating rod, and heats the aerosol generating article by inserting the heater into it.

[0050] Of course, in other embodiments, the aerosol generating matrix can also be liquid, such as e-liquid. The aerosol generating device 10 includes a storage chamber for storing the aerosol generating matrix and a heating element in fluid communication with the storage chamber, which heats the aerosol generating matrix in the storage chamber after being energized.

[0051] In other embodiments, the aerosol generating apparatus 10 includes a heating pot for containing and heating the aerosol generating matrix when energized. The aerosol generating matrix may be one or more of the following: liquid, solid, paste, gel, etc.

[0052] As shown in Figures 2 to 5, one of the aerosol generating device 10 and the charging device 20 includes a first electrical connection structure 14, and the other of the aerosol generating device 10 and the charging device 20 includes a second electrical connection structure 24. At least one of the first electrical connection structure 14 and the second electrical connection structure 24 is a movable structure.

[0053] Specifically, the first electrical connection structure 14 includes a plurality of first electrical contacts 141 and at least one first magnetic element 142 fixedly connected to the plurality of first electrical contacts 141. The first electrical connection structure 14 (including the first electrical contacts 141 and the first magnetic element 142) is movable between a first position and a second position.

[0054] The second electrical connection structure 24 includes a plurality of second electrical contacts 241 and at least one second magnetic element 242. The first magnetic element 142 and the second magnetic element 242 are magnetically attracted to each other, causing the first electrical connection structure 14 to move and remain in a second position, ensuring close contact between the first electrical contacts 141 and the second electrical contacts 241, and guaranteeing good electrical connection between them. The magnetic attraction between the first magnetic element 142 and the second magnetic element 242 is greater than the force required to move the first electrical contacts 141 from the first position to the second position.

[0055] In some embodiments, the moving distance of the first electrical connection structure 14 between the first position and the second position can be 0.1 mm to 2 mm, for example, 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1 mm, 1.2 mm, or 1.5 mm. The range of motion of the first electrical connection structure 14 should not be too large, otherwise it will give the user a noticeable shaking sensation and affect the user experience.

[0056] The first electrical contact 141 and the second electrical contact 241 can be any suitable type of electrical contact, such as a pin-type electrical contact or a plate-type electrical contact. Preferably, the first electrical contact 141 and the second electrical contact 241 are pin-type electrical contacts, which have a simple structure, are easy to manufacture and install, are suitable for miniaturization needs, and can achieve high current flow.

[0057] Electrical contacts can be made of any suitable conductive material. For example, electrical contacts can be made of metals or metal alloys such as copper or gold. In some embodiments, electrical contacts are made of the same material; in other embodiments, electrical contacts are made of different materials.

[0058] As used herein, "magnetic element" describes an element comprising magnetic materials. The term "magnetic material" describes a material capable of interacting with a magnetic field, encompassing both paramagnetic and ferromagnetic materials. Paramagnetic materials remain magnetized only in the presence of an external magnetic field. Ferromagnetic materials are magnetized in the presence of an external magnetic field and retain their magnetization even after the external magnetic field is removed.

[0059] In some embodiments, at least one of the first magnetic element 142 and the second magnetic element 242 includes a magnet, such as a ferrite magnet, a neodymium iron boron magnet, or an alnico magnet.

[0060] In this embodiment, the aerosol generating device 10 includes a first electrical connection structure 14, and the charging device 20 includes a second electrical connection structure 24. The first electrical connection structure 14 is movable relative to the housing 11 between a first position and a second position, and the second electrical connection structure 24 is fixedly connected to the power supply housing 21. Of course, in other embodiments, the charging device 20 may include the first electrical connection structure 14, and the aerosol generating device 10 may include the second electrical connection structure 24.

[0061] The housing 11 includes a cylindrical outer shell 111 and a base 112 disposed at one end of the cylindrical outer shell 111. The base 112 may be at least partially embedded in the cylindrical outer shell 111 and fixed to the cylindrical outer shell 111. Of course, in other embodiments, the cylindrical outer shell 111 and the base 112 may also be integrally formed.

[0062] The power supply housing 21 includes a main housing 211 and a support base 212 disposed at one end of the main housing 211. The housing 11 is mounted on the support base 212 by abutting the end of the support base 212. The main housing 211 and the support base 212 can be formed separately and then assembled together, or they can be formed as a single piece.

[0063] In some embodiments, the aerosol generating device 10 and the charging device 20 can be connected to each other by magnetic attraction. Specifically, at least one third magnetic element 15 is provided on the base 112, and at least one fourth magnetic element 25 is provided on the support 212. The third magnetic element 15 and the fourth magnetic element 25 are magnetically attracted to each other, so that the housing 11 and the power supply housing 21 are in close contact, and the aerosol generating device 10 and the charging device 20 are magnetically fixed to each other.

[0064] The third magnetic element 15 and the fourth magnetic element 25 comprise magnetic materials. In some embodiments, at least one of the third magnetic element 15 and the fourth magnetic element 25 comprises a magnet, such as a ferrite magnet, a neodymium iron boron magnet, or an AlNiCo magnet. In some embodiments, two third magnetic elements 15 are embedded at the bottom of the base 112, and two fourth magnetic elements 25 are embedded at the top of the support 212, with the two third magnetic elements 15 corresponding to the two fourth magnetic elements 25. The two third magnetic elements 15 are located on both sides of the base 112 along its length, and correspondingly, the two fourth magnetic elements 25 are located on both sides of the support 212 along its length.

[0065] The first electrical connection structure 14 is movably mounted on the base 112. In some embodiments, the first electrical connection structure 14 includes a plurality of first electrical contacts 141 and a plurality of first magnetic elements 142 respectively fixedly connected to the plurality of first electrical contacts 141. The first electrical contacts 141 and the first magnetic elements 142 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, and a corresponding first electrical contact 141 and a corresponding first magnetic element 142 form a fixing assembly 140. In this way, the impact of manufacturing and assembly errors of the first magnetic elements 142 and the first electrical contacts 141 on the structure can be reduced.

[0066] Of course, in other embodiments, a first magnetic element 142 may be fixedly connected to multiple first electrical contacts 141 at the same time, but this structure has high requirements for the manufacturing and assembly precision of the first magnetic element 142 and the first electrical contacts 141.

[0067] The base 112 includes a seat body 1123, which covers the opening of the cylindrical outer shell 111. The seat body 1123 has an annular mounting portion 1121 protruding from the side opposite to the support base 212 (shown as the upper side in the figure). The inner side of the mounting portion 1121 forms a mounting cavity 1120 for mounting a plurality of fixing components 140. The plurality of fixing components 140 are movably mounted in the mounting cavity 1120.

[0068] Multiple fixing components 140 are spaced apart from each other to ensure that the first electrical contacts 141 of the multiple fixing components 140 are electrically separated from each other and to prevent interference between the multiple fixing components 140 when they move.

[0069] The mounting cavity 1120 can be located in the middle of the base 112 along its length, and two third magnetic elements 15 are embedded in the bottom of the base 1123 and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting cavity 1120.

[0070] The mounting cavity 1120 has an opening on its upper side, through which the fixing assembly 140 is inserted into the mounting cavity 1120. In some embodiments, the aerosol generating device 10 further includes a fixing cover 12 that at least partially covers the opening of the mounting cavity 1120 to prevent the fixing assembly 140 from falling out of the mounting cavity 1120.

[0071] The mounting cavity 1120 has a bottom wall surface 1125 opposite to the opening. The fixing cover 12 includes an end cover 121, which covers the opening of the end cover 121 and is spaced apart from the bottom wall surface 1125. A portion of the first electrical connection structure 14 can be moved to abut against the end cover 121 or the bottom wall surface 1125, thereby limiting the movement distance of the first electrical connection structure 14.

[0072] Specifically, the bottom wall surface 1125 can define a second position of the fixing assembly 140, and the first magnetic element 142 can be moved to directly or indirectly abut against the bottom wall surface 1125. The end cap 121 can define a first position of the fixing assembly 140, and the first magnetic element 142 can be moved to directly or indirectly abut against the end cap 121.

[0073] The fixed cover 12 is also provided with at least one through hole 120, through which the first electrical contact 141 can be connected to external electronic components (such as battery cells).

[0074] In some embodiments, the first electrical connection structure 14 includes a plurality of leads 144 respectively electrically connected to a plurality of first electrical contacts 141. A narrow through-hole 120 may be provided on the fixing cover 12, through which the plurality of leads 144 are led out. In other embodiments, the fixing cover 12 may also be provided with a plurality of through-holes 120, through which the plurality of leads 144 are led out. By leading out the first electrical connection structure 14 with leads, the area of ​​the through-holes 120 that need to be opened on the fixing cover 12 can be reduced, which helps to prevent leakage, dust, and other debris from entering the mounting cavity 1120.

[0075] Of course, in other embodiments, the first electrical contact 141 may be partially exposed outside the fixed cover 12 through the perforation 120.

[0076] In some embodiments, the fixing cover 12 and the mounting portion 1121 can be fixed to each other by a snap-fit ​​connection. Specifically, at least one snap-fit ​​1122 may protrude from the sidewall (outer sidewall and / or inner sidewall) of the mounting portion 1121. The fixing cover 12 may include a sidewall 122 disposed on at least a portion of the periphery of the end cover 121, and at least one slot 1221 is formed on the sidewall 122. The snap-fit ​​1122 is engaged in the slot 1221, thereby fixing the fixing cover 12 and the mounting portion 1121 to each other. Typically, there are at least two snap-fits 1122, which are symmetrically disposed on both sides of the sidewall of the mounting portion 1121. Correspondingly, there are also at least two slots 1221, which are symmetrically disposed on both sides of the sidewall of the fixing cover 12.

[0077] Of course, in other embodiments, a slot may be formed on the side wall of the mounting portion 1121, and a buckle may be formed on the side wall 122 of the fixing cover 12.

[0078] The base 1123 has multiple electrode holes 1124 through which multiple first electrical contacts 141 pass. The first electrical contacts 141 are movably disposed in the electrode holes 1124. The first magnetic element 142 can be sleeved on the first electrical contacts 141 and can move together with the first electrical contacts 141.

[0079] The first electrical contact 141 may include a first post 1411 and a second post 1412. The first post 1411 and the second post 1412 may be coaxially arranged, but are not limited to being coaxially arranged. The first post 1411 is used for electrical connection with the second electrical contact 241. A lead 144 is connected to the second post 1412, for example, the lead 144 is welded to the end face of the second post 1412.

[0080] The diameter of the first column 1411 is larger than the diameter of the second column 1412. The first magnetic element 142 can be sleeved on the second column 1412 and abut against the end face of the first column 1411.

[0081] The diameter of the electrode hole 1124 is slightly larger than the diameter of the first column 1411. That is, the first column 1411 and the electrode hole 1124 are loosely fitted or clearance fitted, so that the first column 1411 can move up and down in the electrode hole 1124.

[0082] In some embodiments, the fixing assembly 140 further includes a bracket 143, on which the first magnetic element 142 is mounted and fixed to the first electrical contact 141 via the bracket 143. Specifically, the first magnetic element 142 is mounted on the bracket 143 and then sleeved together on the second column 1412 and abuts against the end face of the first column 1411.

[0083] The cross-sectional area of ​​the support 143 is larger than that of the electrode hole 1124 to prevent the support 143 from coming out of the electrode hole 1124. That is, the bottom wall surface 1125 can limit the position of the support 143 by abutting against it. The cross-sectional area of ​​the first magnetic element 142 can be the same as that of the support 143, or it can be larger or smaller than that of the support 143.

[0084] Understandably, when the fixing component 140 is not provided with the bracket 143 and the first magnetic element 142 directly abuts against the end face of the first column 1411, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first magnetic element 142 is greater than the cross-sectional area of ​​the electrode hole 1124.

[0085] In some embodiments, there are two fixing components 140, which can be arranged side by side in the width direction of the base 112. Of course, in other embodiments, the two fixing components 140 can also be arranged side by side in the length direction of the base 112.

[0086] Accordingly, the second electrical connection structure 24 includes two second electrical contacts 241, which abut against two first electrical contacts 141 respectively to conduct electricity. There may be one second magnetic element 242, which may be embedded in the top of the support base 212, and the two second electrical contacts 241 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second magnetic element 242.

[0087] As shown in Figure 5, the aerosol generating device 10 and the charging device 20 are in a separated state, with the first electrical contact 141 in the first position. When the aerosol generating device 10 and the charging device 20 are connected, the first magnetic element 142 and the second magnetic element 242 approach each other and magnetically attract each other, thereby providing the first magnetic element 142 with a magnetic attraction force greater than the force required to move the first electrical connection structure 14 from the first position to the second position. This causes the first electrical connection structure 14 to move from the first position shown in Figure 6 to the second position shown in Figure 7, and keeps the first electrical connection structure 14 in the second position, so that the first electrical contact 141 and the second electrical contact 241 are in close contact.

[0088] In addition, the first electrical contact 141 is a non-elastic electrical contact, and no other elastic elements are provided in the first electrical connection structure 14. Therefore, the first electrical contact 141 is not subjected to elastic force during movement, so the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic element 142 and the second magnetic element 242 does not need to overcome the elastic force, thereby reducing the volume of the magnetic element.

[0089] Furthermore, when the first electrical contact 141 is in the second position, the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic element 142 and the second magnetic element 242 is greater than the gravity of the fixing assembly 140 (including the first electrical contact 141, the first magnetic element 142, and the bracket 143). Thus, the first electrical contact 141 can remain in the second position regardless of whether the aerosol generation system 100 is placed upright, upside down, or at an angle.

[0090] Understandably, the above-mentioned technical features can be used in any combination without restriction.

[0091] The above embodiments merely illustrate specific implementations of the present invention, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can freely combine the above technical features without departing from the concept of the present invention, and can also make several modifications and improvements, all of which fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent transformations and modifications made with respect to the scope of the claims of the present invention should fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
