Detailed Description

The present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings by way of specific embodiments.

Example 1:

fig. 1a to 1d are schematic structural views illustrating a first embodiment of an aerosol generating device, and fig. 5 is a schematic block structural view illustrating an embodiment of an aerosol generating device.

In the first embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 1a to 1d and fig. 5, the aerosol generating device includes a main body 100, a housing 200 and a position detecting module 401, wherein the housing 200 has a receiving space (not shown), the main body 100 is installed in the receiving space, and when the main body 100 or the housing 200 is acted by an external force, the main body 100 and the housing 200 can move relatively.

The body 100 is for atomising an aerosol-forming substrate to produce an aerosol, the body 100 having an airflow passage (not shown) therein for the circulation of air and/or aerosol. In practical application, aerosol-forming substrates are stored in the main body 100, when the main body 100 enters a normal working state, the main body 100 atomizes the aerosol-forming substrates to generate aerosol, and the generated aerosol is released to the outside through the airflow channel, or external air enters the airflow channel to bring the generated aerosol out of the outside, so that a user can use the aerosol.

The body 100 comprises a proximal end 101, a distal end (not shown) arranged opposite the proximal end 101, and a surface (not shown) between the proximal end 101 and the distal end, the surface of the body 100 being hidden from view by the housing 200 in the closed state of the aerosol generating device. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the proximal end 101 and the distal end of the body 100 are used herein to refer to the two ends of the body 100, and are relative terms and do not limit the specific meanings of the "proximal end" and the "distal end".

The housing 200 includes a first housing 201 and a second housing 202, and the first housing 201 and/or the second housing 202 can move relative to the main body 100 under the action of external force.

When the first housing 201 and/or the second housing 202 move relative to the main body 100, a first relative displacement is generated between the first housing 201 and the second housing 202 to form a first region 301.

Specifically, the first housing 201 and/or the second housing 202 moves relative to the main body 100 under the action of external force, which may include the following cases:

for the case that the first housing 201 is moved relative to the main body 100 by an external force alone, the first housing 201 is movably connected to the main body 100, and the second housing 202 may be fixedly connected to the main body 100 and not be moved relative to the main body 100, or the second housing 202 may be movably connected to the main body 100 and be moved relative to the main body 100. Similarly, for the case that the second housing 202 moves relative to the main body 100 by being subjected to external force alone, the second housing 202 is movably connected with the main body 100, and the first housing 201 may be fixedly connected with the main body 100 and cannot move relative to the main body 100; alternatively, the first housing 201 may be movably connected to the main body 100 and may move relative to the main body 100. In the case where the first housing 201 and the second housing 202 are moved relative to the main body 100 by the external force, both the first housing 201 and the second housing 202 are movably connected to the main body 100.

When the first shell 201 moves relative to the main body 100 under the action of an external force, the first shell 201 is displaced towards the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 in the longitudinal direction of the main body 100, and at the same time, the first shell 201 and the second shell 202 are relatively displaced; when the second housing 202 moves relative to the main body 100 under the action of an external force, the second housing 202 is displaced toward the distal end of the main body 100, and at this time, the first housing 201 and the second housing 202 are also displaced relatively. When both the first housing 201 and the second housing 202 move relative to the main body 100 under the action of the external force, both may move relative to the main body 100 at the same time, or may move relative to the main body 100 in sequence, and at this time, the first housing 201 and the second housing 202 also generate relative displacement.

Therefore, when only the first casing 201 or the second casing 202 moves relative to the main body 100 under the action of an external force, or both the first casing 201 and the second casing 202 move relative to the main body 100 under the action of an external force, a first relative displacement is generated between the first casing 201 and the second casing 202 to form a first area 301, and the first area 301 is an opening area enclosed between the first casing 201 and the second casing 202. When the first area 301 formed between the first housing 201 and the second housing 202 matches a preset activation area, the aerosol generating device may be triggered to self-activate.

In this embodiment, the first housing 201 is movably connected to the main body 100, the second housing 202 is fixedly connected to the main body 100, and when the first housing 201 is acted by an external force, the first housing 201 is displaced in the longitudinal direction of the main body 100 towards the proximal end 101 of the main body 100, and at this time, the first housing 201 and the second housing 202 are displaced relatively to each other to form the first region 301.

Here, in the case that the second housing 202 is fixedly connected to the main body 100, not only the first housing 201 may move relative to the main body 100 under the action of an external force, but also the main body 100 may move relative to the first housing 201 under the action of an external force, so that the first housing 201 and the second housing 202 generate a first relative displacement, and the first region 301 is formed.

In the present embodiment, the position detection module 401 detects the position information of the main body 100 or the housing 200 when the main body 100 or the housing 200 moves, and acquires the current position information of the main body 100 or the housing 200. The position detection module 401 may detect the position information of the main body 100 or the housing 200 in real time, or may detect the position information when the main body 100 or the housing 200 starts to move or stops moving. The position detection module 401 stores the acquired current position information.

The position detection module 401 compares the current position information of the main body 100 or the housing 200 with the preset starting position information after acquiring the current position information of the main body 100 or the housing 200, and determines that the main body 100 or the housing 200 does not move through the preset starting position if the current position information of the main body 100 or the housing 200 is not matched with the preset starting position information, so as to feed back an abnormal signal, so that the aerosol generating device is not started.

Specifically, when the main body 100 and the housing 200 move relatively, for example, the first housing 200 moves relative to the main body 100 so that the first region 301 is formed between the first housing 201 and the second housing 202, if the current position information of the first housing 201 moving along the main body 100 does not match the preset starting position information, that is, the first housing 201 does not move through the preset starting position, and at this time, the first region 301 formed by the relative movement of the first housing 201 and the main body 100 is not a region formed after the first housing 201 moves through the preset starting position, the aerosol generating device is not started.

Therefore, the first housing 201 is moved relative to the main body 100 under the non-user behavior condition, but when the first housing 201 stops moving, and the first housing 201 does not pass through the preset starting position, the aerosol generating device determines that the misoperation at this time causes the first housing 201 to move relative to the main body 100 without starting, so that the aerosol generating device can be prevented from being started by misoperation under the non-user behavior condition, and the problems of resource waste, potential safety hazard and the like caused by the equipment self-starting due to misoperation are avoided.

On the other hand, when the position detection module 401 detects that the position information of the main body 100 or the housing 200 in the movement process matches the preset initial position information and the preset starting position information in sequence, it determines that the main body 100 or the housing 200 moves through the preset initial position and the preset starting position in sequence, and feeds back the starting signal, so that the aerosol generating device is started. That is, in the moving process of the main body 100 or the housing 200, when the position detection module 401 detects that the position information of the main body 100 or the housing 200 matches with the preset initial position information and when a certain position information after the main body 100 or the housing 200 continues to move matches with the preset initial position information, it is determined that the main body 100 or the housing 200 moves successively through the preset initial position and the preset starting position, and it is further determined that the main body 100 or the housing 200 moves under the action of normal user behavior, so that the starting signal is fed back, and the aerosol generating device is started.

Specifically, taking the case that the first housing 201 moves relative to the main body 100 under the action of an external force as an example, the position detection module 401 acquires the position information of the first housing 201 during the movement of the first housing 201, and compares the current position information of the first housing 201 with the preset initial position information and the preset starting position information respectively. If the current position information of the first casing 201 matches the preset initial position information, determining that the first casing 201 has undergone the preset initial position at this time; if the current position information of the first casing 201 matches the preset starting position information, it is determined that the first casing 201 has passed through the preset starting position at this time. Therefore, if in the moving process of the first housing 201, the position detection module 401 detects that the position information of the first housing 201 is matched with the preset initial position information, and then detects that the position information of the first housing 201 is matched with the preset starting position information, it is determined that the first housing 201 successively passes through the preset initial position and the preset starting position in the moving process, and at this time, the position detection module 401 feeds back a starting signal, so as to trigger the start of the aerosol generating device.

The above description has been made only for the case where the first housing 201 moves relative to the main body 100, and similarly, when the second housing 202 moves relative to the main body 100 and the second housing 202 stops moving and does not pass through a preset activation position, the aerosol generation device cannot be triggered to be activated by itself. The aerosol generating device is self-activated only when the second housing 202 stops moving past a preset activation position. Here, the preset starting position referred to by the movement of the second housing 202 and the preset starting position referred to by the movement of the first housing 201 are two different preset starting positions.

Thus, in the case where both the first housing 201 and the second housing 202 move relative to the main body 100, when one of the first housing 201 and the second housing 202 stops moving and does not experience the corresponding preset starting position, the aerosol generating device cannot be triggered to self-start, and when both the first housing 201 and the second housing 202 stop moving and experience the corresponding preset starting position, the aerosol generating device is triggered to self-start.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 5, the position detection module 401 includes a sensor assembly 411, and a first microcontroller 412 electrically connected to the sensor assembly 411.

The sensor assembly 411 is used to detect the position information of the main body 100 or the housing 200 when the main body 100 or the housing 200 moves, and acquire the current position information of the main body 100 or the housing 200. The first microcontroller 412 is used for feeding back an activation signal or an abnormal signal according to the position information of the main body 100 or the housing 200, so that the aerosol generating device is activated or not activated.

The sensor assembly 411 may be one or more sensors for detecting whether the first housing 201 and/or the second housing 202 passes through a preset position during the relative movement with the main body 100, and the application does not limit the type of the sensor having this function. For example, the sensor assembly 411 may be a sensor, such as an acceleration sensor, for detecting a movement track of the first housing 201 and/or the second housing 202 on the main body 100, and the sensor assembly 411 includes at least one sensor. The first microcontroller 412 is disposed inside the main body 100, and the sensor assembly 411 may be disposed inside the main body 100, on the surface of the main body 100, or inside the housing 200, or in the case where the sensor assembly 411 includes a plurality of sensors, it may be disposed at three positions.

Specifically, taking the first shell 201 moving relative to the main body 100 under the action of an external force as an example, when the sensor assembly 411 does not detect that the current position information of the first shell 201 matches the preset starting position information, that is, it does not detect that the first shell 201 moves through the preset starting position, during the first shell 201 moving along the first direction of the main body 100, for example, in the counterclockwise direction along the circumferential direction of the main body 100, the first microcontroller 412 determines that the first shell 201 does not move through the preset starting position, so as to feed back an abnormal signal, so as to disable the aerosol generating device from being started.

The first housing 201 may move to the preset starting position, or may move from any position between the preset starting position and the preset starting position, but does not pass through the preset starting position.

When the sensor assembly 411 detects that the current position information of the first housing 201 matches the preset starting position information, and a certain position information of the first housing 201 before the current position information matches the preset initial position information, the first microcontroller 412 determines that the first housing 201 moves through the preset initial position and the preset starting position in sequence, so as to feed back a starting signal to trigger the aerosol generating device to start.

After the aerosol generating device is started, when the sensor assembly 411 detects a second direction in the first housing 201 along the main body 100, where the second direction is opposite to the first direction, for example, the first housing 201 goes through the preset starting position in a clockwise direction along the circumference of the main body 100, i.e., leaves from the preset starting position, or goes through the preset starting position, the preset initial position in sequence, i.e., reaches the preset initial position from the preset starting position, the first microcontroller 412 feeds back a shutdown signal or a standby signal, so as to trigger the aerosol generating device to switch from the starting state to the shutdown state or enter the standby state.

Alternatively, the sensor assembly 411 may be a sensor, such as a photoelectric sensor, for detecting that the first casing 201 passes through a certain position point on the main body 100, and the sensor assembly 411 includes at least a first sensor and a second sensor spaced apart on the main body 100 and/or the casing 200, and the first sensor and the second sensor respectively detect whether the first casing 201 moves through a preset initial position and a preset starting position.

Specifically, taking the first sensor and the second sensor as photoelectric sensors as an example, when the first sensor detects that the position information of the first housing 201 moving relative to the main body 100 matches the preset initial position information, and the second sensor does not detect that the position information of the first housing 201 moving relative to the main body 100 matches the preset starting position information, it indicates that the sensor assembly 411 detects that the first housing 201 moving on the main body 100 does not pass through the preset starting position, and at this time, the first microcontroller 412 feeds back an abnormal signal to trigger the aerosol generating device not to start.

When the first sensor detects that the position information of the first housing 201 moving relative to the main body 100 matches the preset initial position information, and the second sensor detects that the position information of the first housing 201 moving relative to the main body 100 matches the preset starting position information, it indicates that the sensor assembly 411 detects that the first housing 201 moves on the main body 100 sequentially through the preset initial position and the preset starting position, and at this time, the first microcontroller 412 feeds back a starting signal to trigger the aerosol generating device to start.

When the second sensor detects that the first housing 201 moves in the opposite direction relative to the main body 100 to pass through the preset initial position again, i.e. to leave from the preset initial position, the first microcontroller 412 feeds back a shutdown signal or a standby signal to trigger the aerosol generating device to switch from the startup state to the shutdown state or the standby state. Alternatively, after the second sensor detects that the first housing 201 moves in the opposite direction relative to the main body 100 to again pass through the preset starting position, and the first sensor also detects that the first housing 201 moves in the opposite direction relative to the main body 100 to again pass through the preset initial position, that is, the first housing 201 moves from the preset starting position to the preset initial position, the first microcontroller 412 feeds back a shutdown signal or a standby signal to trigger the aerosol generating device to switch from the starting state to the shutdown state or the standby state.

Further, in a specific embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, the aerosol generating device further comprises a time detection module 402.

The time detection module 402 is configured to detect a movement time required for the main body 100 or the housing 200 to move sequentially through a preset initial position and a preset starting position; when the movement time is detected to exceed the preset starting time (such as 1s), an abnormal signal is fed back so as to enable the aerosol generating device not to be started; when the movement time is detected to be less than the preset starting time, a starting signal is fed back to start the aerosol generating device.

Specifically, taking the case that the first housing 201 moves relative to the main body 100 under the action of external force as an example, when the position detection module 401 detects that the first housing 201 moves through a preset initial position, the time detection module 402 starts timing, or records a current time point, and when the position detection module 401 detects that the first housing 201 moves through a preset starting position, the time detection module 402 stops timing to obtain a recorded duration, or the time detection module 402 records a current time point to obtain a time interval of two time points, at this time, if the time detection module 402 detects that the recorded duration or time interval exceeds a preset starting time, it is determined that an abnormal phenomenon occurs, an abnormal signal is fed back to make the aerosol generating device not start; the aerosol generating device is self-activated only when the time detection module 402 detects that the recorded duration or time interval is less than a preset activation time.

It will be understood by those skilled in the art that, in practical applications, when the normal user action causes the first housing 201 to move relative to the main body 100, the consistency of the user action causes the first housing 201 to move from the preset initial position to the preset starting position, and when the movement time of the first housing 201 is necessarily less than the preset starting time, the relative movement of the first housing 201 and the main body 100 triggers the aerosol generating device to self-start. In the case of non-user behavior, that is, in the case of misoperation, when the first housing 201 is moved relative to the main body 100 by external force of non-user behavior, after the first housing 201 starts to move from the initial position, the first housing 201 stops moving without passing through the preset starting position due to insufficient force, and after stopping moving for a period of time, the first housing 201 moves again due to external force of non-user behavior and then passes through the preset starting position, at this time, the position detection module 401 detects that the first housing 201 moves through the preset starting position, and determines as a condition that can trigger the start of the aerosol generation device, however, since the first housing 201 moves through a plurality of times due to the misoperation of non-user behavior and then passes through the preset starting position, during this process, the first housing 201 reaches the preset starting position from the preset initial position for the required movement time, that is, in the process that the first housing 201 reaches the preset starting position from the preset initial position, the sum of the time of each movement of the first housing 201 and the time of the midway stopping movement necessarily exceeds the preset starting time, so that the time detection module 402 feeds back the abnormal signal, so that the aerosol generating device is not started.

It can be seen that, in the case of a malfunction, although the first housing 201 moves relative to the main body 100 in sequence through the preset initial position and the preset starting position, when the time required for the first housing 201 to reach the preset starting position from the preset initial position exceeds the preset starting time, the aerosol generating device is not started, so that the malfunction can be further detected, and by the double malfunction detection of the position detection module 401 and the time detection module 402, the phenomena of resource waste, potential safety hazards and the like caused by the self-starting of the aerosol generating device due to the malfunction can be effectively avoided.

Further, the time detection module 402 detects the operating time of the aerosol generating device after the aerosol generating device is started. When detecting that the current working time of the aerosol generating device exceeds a preset working time (e.g. 10s), the time detecting module 402 feeds back a shutdown signal or a standby signal, so that the aerosol generating device is shut down or enters a standby state.

Therefore, when the user uses the equipment for too long time, the equipment can be protected, and the situation that the user excessively uses the functions provided by the equipment and is not beneficial to health and the like can be avoided; the problems of resource waste, potential safety hazards and the like caused by overlong starting time of the aerosol generating device due to misoperation can be solved.

Further, the time detection module 402 detects a standby time of the aerosol-generating device while the aerosol-generating device is in a standby state. When detecting that the current standby time of the aerosol generating device exceeds a preset standby time (e.g., 2min), the time detecting module 402 feeds back a shutdown signal to shutdown the aerosol generating device.

Therefore, the equipment can automatically enter a shutdown state under the condition of long-time standby without starting the equipment by a user, can be automatically shut down under the conditions that the user forgets to shut down the equipment or the equipment is in long-time standby due to misoperation, saves resources, and can also avoid potential safety hazards.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 5, the time detection module 402 includes a timer 413, and a second microcontroller 414 electrically connected to the timer 413. The timer 413 is used for recording the movement time required by the main body 100 or the housing 200 to move through the preset initial position and the preset starting position in sequence, and the second microcontroller 414 feeds back the starting signal or the abnormal signal according to the movement time so as to start or stop the aerosol generating device. After the aerosol generating device is started, the timer 413 records the operating time of the aerosol generating device, and the second microcontroller 414 controls the aerosol generating device to maintain a normal operating state or controls the aerosol generating device to be turned off or enter a standby state according to the operating time. After the aerosol generating device is in the standby state, the timer 413 records the standby time of the aerosol generating device, and the second microcontroller 414 controls the aerosol generating device to maintain the standby state or switch to the off state according to the standby time.

In this embodiment, taking the first housing 201 moving relative to the main body 100 under the action of an external force as an example, when the timer 413 records that the movement time required for the first housing 201 to move sequentially through the preset initial position and the preset starting position exceeds the preset starting time, the second microcontroller 414 feeds back an abnormal signal to disable the aerosol generating device; when the movement time recorded by the timer 413 is less than the preset activation time, the second microcontroller 414 feeds back an activation signal to activate the aerosol generating device.

After the aerosol generating device is started, the working time of the aerosol generating device recorded by the timer 413 is recorded, and when the second microcontroller 414 detects that the working time recorded by the timer 413 exceeds the preset working time, a shutdown signal or a standby signal is fed back, so that the aerosol generating device is switched from a normal working state to a shutdown state or a standby state; when the working time recorded by the timer 413 is less than the preset working time, the second microcontroller 414 still feeds back the start signal, so that the aerosol generating device maintains a normal working state.

When the aerosol generating device is in a standby state, the timer 413 records the standby time of the aerosol generating device, and the second microcontroller 414 feeds back a shutdown signal when detecting that the standby time recorded by the timer 413 exceeds the preset standby time, so that the aerosol generating device is switched from the standby state or the shutdown state, and when the current standby time of the aerosol generating device is less than the preset standby time, the aerosol generating device is still in the standby state. When the aerosol generating device is in a standby state, if the aerosol generating device receives a starting trigger, the aerosol generating device is started from the standby state.

It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the above-mentioned predetermined initial position and predetermined start position are two different positions in succession for the start of movement of the aerosol generating device from the closed state, and for the start of movement of the aerosol generating device from the open state, the predetermined start position and the predetermined initial position are two different positions in succession, respectively. The preset initial position and the preset starting position may be a starting position and an ending position of the movement of the main body 100 or the housing 200, or two different positions between the starting position and the ending position of the movement of the main body 100 or the housing 200. The preset initial position can be the work from the preset initial position, or the work passes through the preset initial position in the movement process, or the work reaches the preset initial position when the movement is stopped; similarly, the preset starting position may be a position where the work is started from the preset starting position, or a position where the work passes through the preset starting position during the movement, or a position where the work reaches the preset starting position when the movement is stopped.

In one embodiment, the first region 301 forms an air inlet that communicates with an inlet of the airflow channel, and external air can enter the airflow channel from the air inlet formed in the first region 301; alternatively, the first region 301 forms an air outlet which communicates with an outlet of the airflow passage, and air which enters the airflow passage from the outside and/or aerosol generated by the aerosol generating device exits the airflow passage from the air outlet formed in the first region 301.

In one embodiment, the first housing 201 includes a top end 210 and a first engagement end 211, the top end 210 of the first housing 201 being disposed opposite the first engagement end 211; the second housing 202 includes a bottom end 220 and a second engagement end 221, the bottom end 220 of the second housing 202 being disposed opposite the second engagement end 221, the second engagement end 221 being connected to the first engagement end 211. The top end 210 of the first housing 201 is disposed opposite to the bottom end 220 of the second housing 202, which are the top end and the bottom end of the housing 200, respectively. Similarly, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the top and bottom ends of the present application are only used to refer to the two ends of the housing 200, and are relative terms, and do not limit the specific meanings of the "top end" and the "bottom end". Specifically, a first relative displacement is generated between the first engagement end 211 of the first housing 201 and the second engagement end 221 of the second housing 202 to form a first region 301.

In one embodiment, the top end 210 of the first housing 201 has a first opening 212, the first opening 212 does not cover the proximal end 101 of the body 100, and the edge of the first opening 212 engages the proximal end 101 of the body 100.

When the first housing 201 moves relative to the main body 100, in addition to the first region 301 formed between the first housing 201 and the second housing 202, i.e. the first region 301 formed between the first engagement end 211 of the first housing 201 and the second engagement end 221 of the second housing 202, a second relative displacement is also generated between the first opening 212 of the first housing 201 and the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 to form a second region 302.

Of course, when the second housing 202 moves relative to the main body 100, a third relative displacement is also generated between the bottom end 220 of the second housing 202 and the distal end of the main body 100 to form a third region (not shown), which is not particularly limited in the present application.

Specifically, when the first region 301 forms an air inlet, the second region 302 forms an air outlet which is communicated with an outlet of the air flow channel, and at this time, air flowing into the air flow channel from the outside, and/or aerosol generated by the aerosol generating device is discharged from the air outlet formed by the first region 301; alternatively, when the first region 301 forms the air outlet, the second region 302 forms the air inlet which communicates with the inlet of the airflow passage, and at this time, the outside air can enter the airflow passage from the air inlet formed by the first region 301.

Specifically, the first region 301 is an opening region formed by separating the first engagement end 211 of the first housing 201 from the second engagement end 221 of the second housing 202, and includes a gap between the first engagement end 211 of the first housing 201, the second engagement end 221 of the second housing 202, and the surface of the main body 100, thereby forming an air inlet or an air outlet. The second region 302 is a hollow region formed by the drop between the first opening 212 of the first housing 201 and the proximal end 101 of the body 100, thereby forming an air outlet or an air inlet.

Preferably, the first zone 301 forms an air inlet and the second zone 302 forms an air outlet, which are in communication with an inlet and an outlet, respectively, of the air flow channel, so that the air flow channel is in communication with the outside atmosphere.

Because the first shell 201 and/or the second shell 202 do not move relative to the main body under the action of external force to generate relative displacement so as to form the air inlet and the air outlet, the air flow channel is not communicated with the outside, so that convection can not be formed between the aerosol generating device and the outside in a closed state (unused state), namely in a standing state or in the processes of transportation, carrying and the like, the aerosol generating device can not be influenced by the difference between the internal air pressure and the external air pressure, and the leakage of the aerosol forming substrate of the aerosol generating device caused by the difference between the internal air pressure and the external air pressure is effectively avoided.

In this embodiment, the surface of the body 100 includes a first portion 103.

In an embodiment, the first engaging end 211 of the first housing 201 and the second engaging end 221 of the second housing 202 are two edges with identical shapes and sizes, and the first engaging end 211 of the first housing 201 abuts against the second engaging end 221 of the second housing 202. The first joint end 211 of the first housing 201 and the second joint end 221 of the second housing 202 may be flush with each other at end surfaces and edges thereof and directly abut against each other, or the first joint end 211 of the first housing 201 and one end surface edge of the second joint end 221 of the second housing 202 may be arranged in a concave edge, and the other end surface thereof is flush with each other and inserted into the concave edge to abut against each other.

When the first housing 201 and/or the second housing 202 moves relative to the main body 100 under the action of an external force to form the first region 301, the formed first region 301 does not cover the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100, and the first region 301 is an opening region surrounded by the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100, the end surface of the first joint end 211 and the end surface of the second joint end 221.

In another embodiment, the first engaging end 211 and the second engaging end 221 are two engaging ends, the first engaging end 211 and the second engaging end 221 are nested with each other, when the first area 301 is formed between the first housing 201 and the second housing 202, the first area 301 includes at least a partial area of the first engaging end 211, or the first area 301 includes at least a partial area of the second engaging end 221, that is, when the first area 301 is formed between the first housing 201 and the second housing 202, the first area 301 may be formed to cover the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100, or may be formed not to cover the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100.

Specifically, in the case where the first engaging end 211 is sleeved on the second engaging end 221, the first area 301 may be an area enclosed between an outer surface of the second engaging end 221 and an end surface of the first engaging end 211 when the first housing 201 and/or the second housing 202 moves relative to the main body 100 by an external force, where the first area 301 covers the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100; alternatively, in the case that the second engaging end 221 is sleeved on the first engaging end 211, the first area 301 may be an area enclosed between the outer surface of the first engaging end 211 and the end surface of the second engaging end 221 when the first housing 201 and/or the second housing 202 moves relative to the main body 100 under the action of an external force, and at this time, the first area 301 also covers the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100. In the case that the first housing 201 and/or the second housing 202 is moved relative to the main body 100 by an external force until the first engaging end 211 is separated from the second engaging end 221 and the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 is exposed, the first area 301 does not cover the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100.

The outer surface of the first engaging end 211 may be a partial area of the first engaging end 211, or may be the entire area of the first engaging end 211; similarly, the outer surface of the second engagement end 221 may be a partial region of the second engagement end 221, or may be the entire region of the second engagement end 221.

In a specific embodiment, the first engaging end 211 of the first casing 201 and the second engaging end 221 of the second casing 202 may also be uneven end surfaces of various shapes, and in a case where the first casing 201 and/or the second casing 202 moves relative to the main body 100 under the action of an external force so that the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 is exposed, the first engaging end 211 of the first casing 201 and the second engaging end 221 of the second casing 202 may enclose areas of different shapes, for example, when the casing 200 is a circular tube casing and the end surfaces of the first engaging end 211 and the second engaging end 221 are oblique surfaces that are dislocated from each other, the first engaging end 211 and the second engaging end 221 enclose an area of an ellipse shape, that is, the exposed first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 is an ellipse-shaped surface, as shown in fig. 1c and fig. 1 d.

In another embodiment, the first engaging end 211 of the first casing 201 and the second engaging end 221 of the second casing 202 may be transverse annular end surfaces, and in a case where the first casing 201 and/or the second casing 202 moves relative to the main body 100 under the action of an external force so that the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 is exposed, the first engaging end 211 of the first casing 201 and the second engaging end 221 of the second casing 202 enclose an annular area, that is, the exposed first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 is an annular surface.

The information display area is used for displaying information, so that a user can know current state information when using the aerosol generating device, and the user can be helped to predict the use state, for example, when the remaining amount of the aerosol forming base material is too small, the user can predict that the aerosol forming base material can be added at the moment, or a container storing the aerosol forming base material is replaced, or equipment is stopped to use; when the difference in the air pressure inside and outside the apparatus is too large, the experience may be poor, and thus, the user may choose to stop using the apparatus.

Specifically, the information display area may be disposed on the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100, and in a case where the first housing 201 and/or the second housing 202 moves relative to the main body 100 under the action of an external force such that the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 is exposed, information may be displayed through the information display area of the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100.

Of course, the information display area may be provided on the housing 200, and the information display area may be a partial area of the housing 200 or may be the entire area of the housing 200.

According to the actual shape of the aerosol generating device, the external force applied to the first housing 201 and the second housing 202 may be rotation, pulling, pushing or pressing, for example, as shown in fig. 1a to fig. 1d, the aerosol generating device is disposed in a cylindrical shape or similar cylindrical shape, so that the first housing 201 and the second housing 202 may be rotated, pulled, pushed or pressed by the external force and move relative to the main body 100; as another example, as shown in fig. 2a to 2b, the aerosol generating device is disposed in a prism shape or a similar prism shape, so that the first housing 201 and the second housing 202 can be pulled, pushed or pressed by an external force to move relative to the main body 100.

Specifically, for the case where the first housing 201 is moved relative to the main body 100 by an external force alone:

when the first housing 201 is rotated by a certain angle, for example, 90 ° or 180 ° by an external force, the first housing 201 rotates along the circumferential direction of the main body 100, and at this time, in the longitudinal direction of the main body 100, a first relative displacement is generated between the first engagement end 211 of the first housing 201 and the second engagement end 221 of the second housing 202 to form a first region 301, and a second relative displacement is generated between the first opening 212 of the first housing 201 and the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 to form a second region 302.

201 and 202 are moved relative to the main body 100 by the external force:

when the first housing 201 and the second housing 202 are rotated by a certain angle, for example, 90 ° or 180 °, in opposite directions by an external force, the first housing 201 and the second housing 202 both rotate along the circumferential direction of the main body 100, and at this time, in the longitudinal direction of the main body 100, a first relative displacement is generated between the first engagement end 211 of the first housing 201 and the second engagement end 221 of the second housing 202 to form a first region 301, and a second relative displacement is generated between the first opening 212 of the first housing 201 and the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 to form a second region 302.

Alternatively, when the first housing 201 is pulled or pushed by an external force to the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 for a certain distance, and the second housing 202 is pulled or pushed by an external force to the distal end of the main body 100 for a certain distance, for example, 1cm or 2cm, the first housing 201 and the second housing 202 move in opposite directions along the longitudinal direction of the main body 100, at this time, in the longitudinal direction of the main body 100, a first relative displacement is generated between the first engaging end 211 of the first housing 201 and the second engaging end 221 of the second housing 202 to form a first region 301, and a second relative displacement is generated between the first opening 212 of the first housing 201 and the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 to form a second region 302.

Alternatively, when the first housing 201 or the second housing 202 is pressed by an external force, or the first housing 201 and the second housing 202 are both pressed by an external force, the pressing may be a touch pressing, or may be a pressing for a certain period of time, for example, 3s or 5s, at which time the first housing 201 moves along the longitudinal direction of the main body 100, or the first housing 201 rotates along the circumferential direction of the main body 100, and in the longitudinal direction of the main body 100, a first relative displacement is generated between the first engagement end 211 of the first housing 201 and the second engagement end 221 of the second housing 202 to form the first region 301, and a second relative displacement is generated between the first opening 212 of the first housing 201 and the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 to form the second region 302.

For the case where the second housing 202 is moved relative to the main body 100 by an external force alone:

when the second housing 202 is rotated by a certain angle, for example, 90 ° or 180 °, by an external force, the second housing 202 rotates along the circumferential direction of the main body 100, and at this time, a first relative displacement is generated between the first engagement end 211 of the first housing 201 and the second engagement end 221 of the second housing 202 in the longitudinal direction of the second housing 202 to form a first region 301.

Alternatively, when the second housing 202 is pulled or pushed by an external force to the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 by a certain distance, for example, 1cm or 2cm, the second housing 202 moves along the longitudinal direction of the main body 100, and at this time, a first relative displacement is generated between the first engagement end 211 of the first housing 201 and the second engagement end 221 of the second housing 202 in the longitudinal direction of the main body 100 to form the first region 301.

Alternatively, when the second housing 202 is pressed by an external force, the pressing may be a touch pressing, or may be a pressing for a certain period of time, for example, 3s or 5s, in which the second housing 202 moves along the longitudinal direction of the main body 100, or the second housing 202 rotates along the circumferential direction of the main body 100, and a first relative displacement is generated between the first engaging end 211 of the first housing 201 and the second engaging end 221 of the second housing 202 in the longitudinal direction of the main body 100 to form the first region 301.

Of course, when the second housing 202 moves relative to the main body 100, besides the first joint end 211 of the first housing 201 and the second joint end 221 of the second housing 202 generate the first relative displacement to form the first region 301, a fall between the bottom end of the second housing 202 and the distal end of the main body may also form a third region, and the third region may also cooperate with the first region 301 or the second region 201 to form an air inlet or an air outlet, which is communicated with the airflow channel.

It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the first region 301, the second region 302, and the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 are only defined, and for the two cases that only the first casing 201 is acted by an external force, or the first casing 201 and the second casing 202 are both acted by an external force and move relative to the main body 100, the areas of the first region 301 in the two cases may be equal, may not be equal, and the shapes may be the same or different; similarly, the areas of the second regions 302 in the two cases may be equal or unequal, and the shapes may be the same or different; similarly, in the two cases, the areas of the first portions 103 on the surface of the main body 100 may be equal or different, and the shapes may be the same or different, which is not limited herein.

in the second embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 2a and 2b, the aerosol generating device shown in fig. 2a and 2b is different from the aerosol generating device shown in fig. 1a to 1d in shape, and the aerosol generating device shown in fig. 2a and 2b is prism-shaped, the end surfaces of the first engaging end 211 of the first housing 201 and the second engaging end 221 of the second housing 202 are transverse square annular end surfaces, and in a case that the first housing 201 moves relative to the main body 100 under the action of an external force, or the first housing 201 and the second housing 202 both move relative to the main body 100 under the action of an external force so that the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 is exposed, the first engaging end 211 of the first housing 201 and the second engaging end 221 of the second housing 202 enclose an annular region, that is, the exposed first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 is a square annular surface.

Referring to fig. 1a to 1d and fig. 2a to 2b, fig. 1a to 1d are schematic structural views of a structure of an aerosol generating device according to the present application, and the structure of the aerosol generating device shown in fig. 2a to 2b is another structure of the aerosol generating device shown in fig. 1a to 1d, and the above embodiment is applicable to the case except that the housing 200 cannot rotate relative to the main body 100 in some cases. For example, in the case where both the housing 200 and the body 100 are prismatic, the housing 200 cannot be relatively rotated with respect to the body 100, and in the case where the housing 200 is prismatic and the body 100 is cylindrical, the housing 200 may be relatively rotated with respect to the body 100.

It should be noted that the aerosol generating device structure of the present application includes, but is not limited to, two structures of fig. 1a to 1d and fig. 2a and 2 b.

Example 3:

in the third embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 3a and 3b, the difference from the first embodiment (fig. 1a to 1d) and the second embodiment (fig. 2a and 2b) is that the housing 200 is integrally formed, specifically as follows:

the housing 200 includes a first open end 203, the first open end 203 not covering the proximal end 101 of the body 100. When the main body 100 or the housing 200 is moved relatively by an external force, i.e. the main body 100 is moved relatively to the housing 200 by an external force, or the housing 200 is moved relatively to the main body 100 by an external force, the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 and the first open end 203 of the housing 200 are displaced relatively to form the spatial region 303.

Compared with the first and second embodiments, in the present embodiment, preferably, the main body 100 moves relative to the housing 200 under the action of an external force, that is, the main body 100 moves circumferentially or longitudinally in the housing 200, and the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 and the first open end 203 of the housing 200 are relatively displaced to form the spatial region 303.

The position detection module 401 refers to the detection of the position information of the first casing 101 in the first embodiment for the position detection of the main body 100 during the movement process, and the details are not repeated here. Similarly, the time detection module 402 detects the movement time of the main body 100 during the movement process and detects the operating time and the standby time of the device, referring to the movement time detection of the first housing 101 and the operating time and the standby time detection of the device in the first embodiment, which is not described herein again.

In the present embodiment, the surface of the body 100 includes a first portion 103; the first portion 103 is connected to the proximal end 101 of the body 100 and is covered by the housing 200.

In a particular embodiment, the first portion 103 of the surface of the body 100 is provided with a vent 111, the vent 111 being in communication with the outlet of the airflow channel. The cross-sectional shape of the vent portion 111 may be semicircular, circular, elliptical, polygonal, or the like.

The space region 303 forms an air outlet of the aerosol generating device, and the ventilation portion 111 communicates with the outside through the air outlet.

In one case, when the main body 100 and the housing 200 are moved relative to each other, the first portion 103 exposes the first open end 203, and the peripheral space between the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 and the first open end 203 forms the aforementioned spatial region 303, i.e., the spatial region 303 may be an outer spatial region of the open state of the device.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 3b, when the main body 100 is moved relative to the housing 200 by an external force, or the housing 200 is moved relative to the main body 100 by an external force, such that the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 is exposed out of the housing 200 from the first open end 203 of the housing 200, the spatial region 303 formed between the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 and the first open end 203 of the housing 200 is an external spatial region around the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100.

In other cases, not shown in the drawings, when the main body 100 and the housing 200 are relatively moved, the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 extends into the housing 200, and the difference between the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 and the first open end 203 forms the above-mentioned spatial region 303, i.e. the spatial region 303 may be an internal spatial region of the opened state of the device.

Specifically, when the main body 100 is moved relative to the housing 200 by an external force, or the housing 200 is moved relative to the main body 100 by an external force, such that the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 extends into the housing 200 from the first open end 203 of the housing 200, the spatial region 303 formed between the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 and the first open end 203 of the housing 200 is an internal hollow region formed by a drop height between the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 and the first open end 203 of the housing 200.

In this embodiment, the surface of the body 100 further includes a second portion 104, the second portion 104 being coupled to the distal end 102 of the body 100.

The first part 103 and the second part 104 on the surface of the main body 100 are integrally or separately arranged, when the main body 100 is acted by an external force, the first part 103 and the second part 104 on the surface of the main body 100 can be linked or not linked, that is, the first part 103 and the second part 104 on the surface of the main body 100 can do the same movement or do different movements.

The housing 200 also includes a second open end 204, the second open end 204 not covering the distal end 102 of the body 100. The first open end 203 and the second open end 204 are disposed opposite to each other, and are two ends of the housing 200. The first open end 203 and the second open end 204 are respectively engaged with the body 100.

As shown in fig. 3a and 3b, the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 is exposed outside the housing 200, i.e., the housing 200 does not cover the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100. The second open end 204 is connected to the second portion 104 of the surface of the body 100 and does not cover the second portion 104 of the surface of the body 100.

When the main body 100 and the housing 200 are relatively moved so that the aforementioned space region 303 is formed between the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 and the first open end 203 of the housing 200, at least a part of the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 is exposed outside the housing 200, or the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 extends into the housing 200, that is, after the main body 100 or the housing 200 is moved by an external force, the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 may be completely exposed outside the housing 200, or one part thereof may be exposed outside the housing 200, and the other part thereof extends into the housing 200, or may be completely extended into the housing 200.

For example, in the case that the distal end 102 of the main body 100 is pressed by an external force, so that the main body 100 moves longitudinally toward the first open end 203 of the housing 200, if the main body 100 moves longitudinally toward the first open end 203 of the housing 200 and then moves longitudinally toward the second open end 204 of the housing 200 to return to the original position, the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 is exposed outside the housing 200; if the main body 100 moves longitudinally toward the first open end 203 of the housing 200, when a part of the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 extends into the housing 200 and the other part is still exposed outside the housing 200, the movement is stopped, and then a part of the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 is exposed outside the housing 200 and the other part extends into the housing 200; if the main body 100 is moved longitudinally towards the first open end 203 of the housing 200 until the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 extends completely into the housing 200, then the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 extends completely into the housing 200, i.e. the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 is covered by the housing 200.

In the present embodiment, when the main body 100 and the housing 200 are relatively moved, so that a space region 303 is formed between the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 and the first open end 203 of the housing 200, an air inlet of the aerosol generating device is formed between the second open end 204 of the housing 200 and the main body 100, specifically, a gap is formed between the distal end 102 of the main body 100 or the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 and the second open end 204 of the housing 200, so as to form an air inlet, and an inlet of the airflow channel is communicated with the outside through the air inlet.

In other modified embodiments, the housing 200 is provided with a through hole, when the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 and the first open end 203 of the housing 200 form the space region 303, the space region 303 forms an air outlet such that the outlet of the air flow channel communicates with the outside through the air outlet, and the through hole aligns with the inlet of the air flow channel to form an air inlet which communicates with the inlet of the air flow channel such that the inlet of the air flow channel communicates with the outside through the air inlet, thereby communicating the air flow channel with the outside.

Because the air flow channel is communicated with the outside through the space region 303 when the aerosol generating device is in a use state, and the air flow channel is not communicated with the outside when the aerosol generating device is in a closed state, namely the main body 100 or the shell 200 is not subjected to the action of external force to generate relative displacement relative to the shell 200 so as to form the space region 303, the aerosol generating device is not influenced by the difference between the internal air pressure and the external air pressure when the aerosol generating device is in the closed state (non-use state), namely the standing state or the transportation and carrying processes, and the like, and the problems that the aerosol forming base material of the aerosol generating device leaks and the like due to the influence of the difference between the internal air pressure and the external air pressure are.

Specifically, in one embodiment, as shown in fig. 3a, the first open end 203 of the housing 200 is a semi-open curved opening, such as a bevel opening, and the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 is a bevel and covered by the housing 200.

Taking the external force acting on the main body 100 or the external force acting on the housing 200 including the external force rotation and pressing, for example, when the main body 100 moves relative to the housing 200 under the external force acting, when the distal end 102 of the main body 100 or the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 rotates by a certain angle, for example, 180 degrees under the external force acting, the main body 100 makes a circumferential movement in the housing 200, specifically, the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 makes a circumferential movement in the housing 200 and makes a circumferential displacement in the direction of the first open end 203 of the housing 200, so that the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 rotates to the opening position of the first open end 203 of the housing 200, and at this time, the ventilation portion 111 on the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 is exposed outside the housing 200 and is; at the same time, the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 also moves circumferentially, the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 is still exposed outside the housing 200, and the housing 200 does not cover the second portion 104 of the surface, as shown in fig. 3 b.

In another embodiment, not shown in fig. 3a and 3b, the first open end 203 of the housing 200 is a fully open transverse end opening or a curved opening, and the first portion 103 of the surface of the body 100 is covered by the housing 200.

Taking the main body 100 moving relative to the housing 200 under the action of an external force as an example, in a first situation not shown in fig. 3b, when the distal end 102 of the main body 100 or the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 is rotated by an external force by a certain angle, for example, 180 °, the main body 100 moves circumferentially in the housing 200, specifically, the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 rotates circumferentially in the housing 200 and is longitudinally displaced toward the first open end 203 of the housing 200, so that the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 extends out of the first open end 203, and the vent 111 on the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 is exposed outside the housing 200 and is thus communicated with the outside; at the same time, the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 also moves circumferentially, the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 is still exposed outside the housing 200, and the housing 200 does not cover the second portion 104 of the surface.

In a second situation, not shown in fig. 3b, when the distal end 102 of the main body 100 is pressed by an external force, the main body 100 moves longitudinally in the housing 200, specifically, the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 moves longitudinally in the axial direction of the housing 200 towards the first open end 203 of the housing 200, so that the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 protrudes from the first open end 203 of the housing 200, and the vent part 111 is exposed outside the housing 200 and thus communicates with the outside; at the same time, the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 is moved longitudinally in the axial direction of the housing 200 toward the first open end 203 of the housing 200, so that at least a partial area of the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 extends into the housing 200, that is, the housing 200 covers at least a partial area of the second portion 104 of the surface, that is, the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 extends into the housing 200 completely, and the distal end 102 of the main body 100 is just flush with the second open end 204 of the housing 200, that is, the distal end 102 of the main body 100 is also recessed into the housing 200, that is, a drop is formed between the distal end 102 of the main body 100 and the second open end 204 of the housing 200, that a partial area of the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 is still exposed out of the housing 200, and that another partial area of the second portion 104 of the surface of the; alternatively, the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 reciprocates relative to the housing 200, i.e., when the distal end 102 of the main body 100 is pressed by an external force, the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 is ejected out of the housing 200 and returns to the original position after being inserted into the housing 200.

In a third situation, not shown in fig. 3b, when the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 is pressed by an external force, the main body 100 moves longitudinally in the housing 200, specifically, the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 moves longitudinally in the axial direction of the housing 200 towards the second open end 204 of the housing 200, so that the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 protrudes into the housing 200 from the first open end 203 of the housing 200 and falls to form an inner hollow area through which the venting part 111 communicates with the outside; alternatively, the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 may protrude out of the first open end 203 of the housing 200 after reciprocating relative to the housing 200, as in the first and second cases where the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 protrudes out of the first open end 203 of the housing 200; meanwhile, the second part 104 of the surface of the main body 100 is moved longitudinally in the axial direction of the housing 200 towards the second open end 204 of the housing 200, so that the second part 104 of the surface of the main body 100 extends out of the housing 200, or when the first part 103 of the surface of the main body 100 is moved longitudinally into the first open end 203 of the housing 200 or moved back and forth out of the first open end 203 of the housing 200, the second part 104 of the surface of the main body 100 is still in the original position, i.e. in this case, the first part 103 and the second part 104 of the surface of the main body 100 are not linked.

Specifically, at least one of the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100, the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100, and the housing 200 is provided with an information display area, and the function of the information display area is as described in the above embodiments and is not described herein again.

In the case where the main body 100 is moved relative to the housing 200 by an external force or the housing 200 is moved relative to the main body 100 by an external force such that the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 is exposed, information may be displayed through the information display region of the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100. In the case where the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 is not covered by the housing 200, information may also be displayed through the information display area of the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100.

The housing 200 may display information through the information display region with or without the first and

second portions

103 and 104 of the surface of the main body 100 exposed. Similarly, in the present embodiment, the information display area of the housing 200 may be a partial area of the housing 200, or may be the entire area of the housing 200.

Compared with the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the start indicator of the present embodiment may be disposed inside the main body 100, and when the main body 100 and the housing 200 move relatively to form the space region 303, light emitted from the start indicator sequentially passes through the air flow channel, the space region 303 or the gap between the main body 100 and the housing 200 to be scattered outward, or light-transmitting regions are disposed in corresponding regions on the main body 100 and the housing 200, and the start indicator scatters the light source through the light-transmitting regions.

Alternatively, the start indicator may be disposed at the proximal end 101 of the main body 100, a surface of the main body 100, or an inner surface of the housing 200, and when the main body 100 and the housing 200 move relatively to form the space region 303, light emitted from the start indicator is scattered outward through the space region 303 or a gap between the main body 100 and the housing 200, or a light-transmitting region is disposed at a corresponding region of the housing 200, and the start indicator scatters light through the light-transmitting region.

Compared with the first and second embodiments, the charging interface of the present embodiment may be disposed on the housing 200, or may be disposed on the main body 100, and a corresponding opening is disposed on the housing 200, for example, the distal end 102 of the main body 100 is disposed with the electrical interface, the second open end 204 of the housing 200 does not cover the charging interface, and an opening edge of the second open end 204 is engaged with the charging interface.

Example 4:

in a fourth embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 4a to 4c, the housing 200 covers the second portion 104 of the surface, and the second open end 204 is connected to the distal end 102 of the body 100 and does not cover the distal end 102 of the body 100, unlike the third embodiment described above.

When the main body 100 and the housing 200 are relatively moved so that the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 falls with the first open end 203 of the housing 200 to form a spatial region 303, the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 is exposed out of the housing 200, or the distal end 102 of the main body 100 protrudes into the housing 200.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 4a, in one embodiment, the first opening end 203 of the housing 200 is a fully open transverse end opening, or may be a curved opening, and the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 is covered by the housing 200.

Taking the main body 100 moving relative to the housing 200 under the action of an external force as an example, in the first case, when the distal end 102 of the main body 100 is pressed by the external force, the main body 100 moves longitudinally in the housing 200, specifically, the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 moves longitudinally in the axial direction of the housing 200 towards the first open end 203 of the housing 200, so that the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 protrudes from the first open end 203 of the housing 200, and the vent part 111 is exposed outside the housing 200 and is thereby communicated with the atmosphere, as shown in fig. 4b and 4 c; simultaneously, the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 is moved longitudinally in the axial direction of the housing 200 towards the first open end 203 of the housing 200, so that the distal end 102 of the main body 100 extends into the housing 200 to form an inner concave area 302, and the inner concave area 302 has a gap between the interior of the housing 200 and the distal end 102 of the main body 100, thereby forming an air inlet, as shown in fig. 4 c; alternatively, and not shown in fig. 4c, the second portion 104 of the surface of the body 100 is reciprocated such that the distal end 102 of the body 100 is retracted after extending into the housing 200.

In a second situation, not shown in fig. 4b and 4c, when the distal end 102 of the main body 100 is rotated by an external force by a certain angle, for example, 180 °, the main body 100 moves circumferentially in the housing 200, specifically, the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 moves circumferentially in the housing 200 and is displaced longitudinally in the direction of the first open end 203 of the housing 200, so that the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 extends out of the first open end 203, and the ventilation portion 111 on the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 is exposed out of the housing 200 and is thus communicated with the outside; at the same time, the second portion 104 of the surface of the body 100 is also moved circumferentially, with the distal end 102 of the body 100 in place or extending into the housing 200, i.e., the housing 200 still covers the second portion 104 of the surface.

In a third case, not shown in fig. 4b and 4c, when the proximal end 101 of the main body 100 is pressed by an external force, the main body 100 moves longitudinally in the housing 200, specifically, the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 moves longitudinally in the axial direction of the housing 200 toward the second open end 204 of the housing 200, so that the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 extends into the housing 200 from the first open end 203 of the housing 200 and forms an inner hollow area through which the vent 111 communicates with the outside, and at the same time, the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 moves longitudinally in the axial direction of the housing 200 toward the second open end 204 of the housing 200 so that the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 extends out of the housing 200. Alternatively, the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 may protrude out of the first open end 203 of the housing 200 after reciprocating relative to the housing 200, as in the first and second cases where the first portion 103 of the surface of the main body 100 protrudes out of the first open end 203 of the housing 200; at the same time, the distal end 102 of the body 100 and the second portion 104 of the surface of the body 100 remain in their original positions, i.e., the first portion 103 and the second portion 104 of the surface of the body 100 do not interlock.

It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the spatial region 303, the first portion 103 and the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 are only defined and indicated in the present application, and as for the spatial region 303, the first portion 103 and the second portion 104 of the surface of the main body 100 involved in various applied force situations, the spatial region 303 in various situations may have the same or different area and shape; similarly, the first portions 103 in each case may be equal in area or unequal in size, and may be equal or different in shape; similarly, the second portions 104 in various situations may have the same or different areas and shapes, and are not limited herein.
