The aerosol-generating substrate may be a liquid medicament formed by dispersing a pharmaceutical product in a liquid solvent, tobacco tar or any other liquid suitable for electronic atomisation.

The aerosol-generating device comprises in particular a power supply assembly 1 and an atomizing assembly 2. The atomizing assembly 2 is for storing and atomizing an aerosol-generating substrate to form an aerosol; the power supply assembly 1 is connected with the atomization assembly 2 and used for supplying power to the atomization assembly 2. Specifically, the power supply assembly 1 and the atomization assembly 2 can be detachably connected, so that the power supply assembly 1 or the atomization assembly 2 can be replaced conveniently, and the utilization rate of the aerosol generating device is improved. Of course, in other embodiments, when the user inhales while aiming at the suction nozzle 210 of the atomizing assembly 2, the airflow is generated from the gap between the atomizing assembly 2 and the power supply assembly 1, besides the airflow through the airflow sensor 14, the larger the gap is, the larger the airflow from the gap is, so that the proportion of the airflow from the airflow through the airflow sensor 14 is smaller, and the sensitivity of the airflow sensor 14 is greatly affected. Therefore, to ensure the sensitivity of the airflow sensor 14, the power supply assembly 1 may be fixedly or integrally connected with the atomizing assembly 2 to reduce the failure rate of the aerosol-generating device.

As shown in fig. 2 to 4a, the power supply assembly 1 includes a first housing 11, a main body bracket 12, an inductor bracket 13, an airflow inductor 14, and a battery 15.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the outer wall surface of the main body support 12 is formed with an annular groove 121, and the inner wall surface of the first housing 11 cooperates with the annular groove 121 to form an annular air groove. Of course, the annular groove may be formed on the inner wall surface of the first housing 11, which is not limited in the present application.

Wherein, the first housing 11 can be an integrally formed structure; of course, the first housing 11 may be a hollow structure formed by front-back or left-right engagement. Specifically, the first housing 11 is made of a light-transmitting material so as to observe the inside of the first housing 11. The transparent material can be high temperature resistant glass or plastic, etc. It will be appreciated that in another embodiment, the first housing 11 may also be made of a non-light-transmissive material.

The ventilation notches 123c may be opened at two opposite sides of the side wall 127c of the limiting ring 123 facing the end face of the ventilation notch 123c, that is, the number of the ventilation notches 123c is two, and the two ventilation notches 123c are centrosymmetric with respect to the axis of the limiting ring 123, thereby better ensuring the sensitivity of the airflow sensor 14. Preferably, the line between the two ventilation apertures 123c is perpendicular to the axial direction of the aerosol-generating device, so that in use, it is better to avoid leaking aerosol-generating substrate blocking the ventilation apertures 123 c. In another embodiment, the vent notch 123c may be replaced with a through hole provided in the sidewall 127c of the stop collar 123.

The battery 15 is specifically arranged in the second accommodating cavity 124, and the structure of the second accommodating cavity 124 is similar to that of the first accommodating cavity 122, so that the battery 15 is convenient to install; it can be understood that, after the main body support 12 is installed in the first housing 11, the inner wall of the first housing 11 is fixed to the battery 15 disposed in the second accommodating chamber 124. The atomization groove 125 is matched with the atomization component 2 to form an atomization cavity, and the airflow through hole is directly communicated with the atomization groove 125.

Wherein, owing to be used for forming the atomizing chamber the atomizing groove 125 by main part support 12 itself enclose establish and form, compare in prior art, need not to add the atomizing base in addition to the structure that the support is used for forming atomizing groove 125 has then effectively simplified the product structure, and assembly process is simpler.

With reference to fig. 4a, the sensor holder 13 is at least partially inserted into the first accommodating cavity 122 and abuts against an end surface of the limiting ring 123 away from the closed end; and the inductor supporter 13 is formed with a mounting groove 131 (see fig. 2) communicating with the air flow hole. Specifically, the mounting groove 131 is communicated with the air flow hole sequentially through the vent cavity 123a, the vent notch 123c, and the vent groove 123 b. Referring to fig. 2, the airflow sensor 14 is detachably disposed in the mounting groove 131 for detecting the airflow variation in the airflow hole, so as to control the battery to supply power to the atomizing core. The airflow sensor 14 is detachably connected with the sensor support 13, so that the airflow sensor 14 is convenient to recycle and is environment-friendly; and through making inductor support 13 butt deviate from the terminal surface of closed end in spacing ring 123, not only can avoid revealing the problem that aerosol generation substrate direct contact air current inductor 14 in first holding chamber 122 leads to air current inductor 14 to damage to take place through spacing ring 123 like this, and can block revealing the aerosol generation substrate in first holding chamber 122 through spacing ring 123 to reduce the probability that air current inductor 14 receives the influence of the aerosol generation substrate of revealing, sensitivity is higher.

Specifically, referring to fig. 2 and 5, fig. 5 is a sectional view of an inductor bracket and a main bracket provided in an embodiment of the present application after being disassembled; the inductor holder 13 includes a base portion 13a, a first pin 13b, and a second pin 13 c. Wherein the base portion 13a covers the ventilation notch end of the first accommodating cavity 122, and the portion of the base portion 13a inserted into the first accommodating cavity 122 is in interference fit with the first accommodating cavity 122 to seal the ventilation groove 123b, so as to prevent the aerosol-generating substrate or the aerosol condensate from leaking. Specifically, the outer periphery of the portion of the base body 13a inserted into the first accommodating chamber 122 is provided with a protruding ring 132 along the circumferential direction thereof, and the base body 13a is in interference fit with the inner wall surface of the first accommodating chamber 122 through the protruding ring 132. In this embodiment, the mounting groove 131 is specifically formed on the surface of the base portion 13a facing away from the first accommodating cavity 122, and the mounting groove 131 has a bottom wall to limit the airflow sensor 14. Meanwhile, the bottom wall of the mounting groove 131 is formed with a through hole communicating with the ventilation cavity 123a to communicate the airflow sensor 14 disposed in the mounting groove 131 with the ventilation cavity 123 a.
