Detailed Description

In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 1, a device 100 for heating non-combustion comprises: a tobacco rod 110, a cartridge 120 and a connecting component 130. The cigarette rod 110 includes a power supply assembly 112 and a control unit 111 that are electrically connected. The tobacco rod 110 has a first coupling surface 113. The cartridge 120 comprises a receiving cavity 121 for receiving a solid smoking substance, and a heating element 122 for heating the solid smoking substance. The heating element 122 is secured within the cartridge 120. The cartridge 120 has a second engagement surface 123 opposite the first engagement surface 113. The connection assembly 130 is disposed on the tobacco rod 110 adjacent the first engagement surface 113 and/or on the cartridge 120 adjacent the second engagement surface 123 to configure the cartridge 120 to be removably electrically coupled to the tobacco rod 110 to enable electrical current and data transfer between the cartridge 120 and the tobacco rod 110.

In the above-described heating non-combustion apparatus 100, in the combined use, the second combining surface 123 of the cartridge 120 is coupled to the tobacco rod 110 so as to face the first combining surface 113 of the tobacco rod 110. Because the connection assembly 130 is disposed adjacent the first engagement surface 113 and/or disposed on the cartridge 120 adjacent the second engagement surface 123, the cartridge 120 can be removably coupled to the tobacco rod 110 by the connection assembly 130. And because the connecting assembly 130 also has the current and data transmission functions, besides the requirement of mechanical connection between the cartridge 120 and the tobacco rod 110, a data transmission interface is provided between the cartridge 120 and the tobacco rod 110, so that the power supply requirement and the data information connection are both completed when the cartridge 120 is connected with the tobacco rod 110, the interface function of the device 100 which is not heated is diversified, and the multifunctional control requirement is effectively met.

It should be noted that the cartridge 120 is detachably coupled to the cigarette rod 110 by the connecting assembly 130, and the specific implementation manner thereof is various, such as: the connecting component 130 can be, but is not limited to, a snap structure, a magnetic attraction structure, a screw 131 structure, etc.

It should be noted that the control unit 111 may be, but is not limited to, a single chip, an editable logic controller, or a Micro Control Unit (MCU).

Further, referring to fig. 2, the connection assembly 130 includes matching threads 131 disposed on the first and second combining surfaces 113 and 123, and the cartridge 120 is detachably connected to the tobacco rod 110 by the threads 131, such that the cartridge 120 is tightly connected to the tobacco rod 110 by the threads 131. Meanwhile, the cigarette cartridge 120 and the cigarette rod 110 are convenient to disassemble, and the convenience of the product is improved.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 2, the connecting assembly 130 includes an insulating protrusion 134 disposed on the first combining surface 113 and a hole 1231 disposed on the second combining surface 123. When the cartridge 120 is coupled to the tobacco rod 110, the insulating protrusion 134 is inserted into the hole 1231 to form a snap fit, so that a stable detachable connection between the cartridge 120 and the tobacco rod 110 is achieved. Meanwhile, the insulating protrusion 134 includes an elastic member. When the insulating protrusion 134 is inserted into the hole 1231 to form the engagement, the elastic member increases friction between the holes 1231 to counteract the removal of the insulating protrusion 134 from the hole 1231, so as to improve the engagement strength between the insulating protrusion 134 and the hole 1231, and improve the structural stability of the non-combustible heating device 100.

Alternatively, the elastic member may be a spring, an elastic metal sheet, an elastic rubber, or the like.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 3, the connecting assembly 130 includes a first magnetic member 135 disposed adjacent to the first combining surface 113 and a second magnetic member 136 disposed adjacent to the second combining surface 123. The first magnetic member 135 and the second magnetic member 136 are magnetically engaged when the cartridge 120 is coupled to the tobacco rod 110. Therefore, when the cartridge 120 is coupled to the rod 110, the first magnetic member 135 and the second magnetic member 136 are magnetically engaged. As such, the cartridge 120 is stably combined with the cigarette rod 110 by the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic member 135 and the second magnetic member 136.

Specifically, the first magnetic element 135 may be disposed on the first coupling surface 113, or may be disposed on an insulating protrusion. The second magnetic member 136 can be disposed on the second coupling surface 123, or disposed in the hole 1231. The first and second magnetic members 135 and 136 include, but are not limited to, at least one of an electromagnet, a magnet, a magnetically attractive material, and the like.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 1, the connecting assembly 130 further includes at least three first electrical connectors 132 disposed on the first combining surface 113 and at least three second electrical connectors 133 disposed on the second combining surface 123. When the cartridge 120 is coupled to the tobacco rod 110, the second electrical connector 133 makes one-to-one electrical contact with the first electrical connector 132 to enable electrical current and data transfer between the cartridge 120 and the tobacco rod 110. So, outside satisfying the positive negative pole power supply of cigarette bullet 120 and tobacco rod 110 and being connected, still for providing data transmission interface between cigarette bullet 120 and the tobacco rod 110 for both accomplish the power supply demand when cigarette bullet 120 couples with tobacco rod 110, accomplish data information again and connect, make the diversified design of interface function of heating incomplete combustion device, effectively satisfy the multi-functional control demand. In addition, the number of the electric connecting pieces is respectively increased on the first combining surface 113 and the second combining surface 123, which is beneficial to enhancing the electric connection strength between the cartridge 120 and the cigarette rod 110.

It should be noted that the first electrical connector 132 and the second electrical connector 133 are in electrical contact, and can perform data transmission between the cartridge 120 and the tobacco rod 110, such as: the first electrical connection 132 and the second electrical connection 133 form a communication line, so that the control unit 111 can identify or detect data such as status parameters, performance parameters, etc. of the cartridge 120.

It should also be noted that the shape of the first electrical connector 132 and the second electrical connector 133 may have various designs, such as: the first electrical connector 132 and the second electrical connector 133 may be, but are not limited to, a single pin spring connector, a compression connector, a two-piece connector, and the like.

In an embodiment, referring to fig. 2, the present embodiment is based on the above-mentioned embodiment with the insulating protrusion 134, that is, the insulating protrusion 134 is disposed on the first bonding surface 113. The first electrical connector 132 is disposed on the insulating protrusion 134. When the cartridge 120 is coupled to the tobacco rod 110, the insulating protrusion 134 and the first combining surface 113 have a height difference therebetween, so that the first electrical connector 132 is located on a side of the first combining surface 113 facing the second combining surface 123. That is, the first electrical connection member 132 is disposed higher than the first bonding surface 113, so that it can effectively prevent the liquid (e.g. condensed aerosol) from leaking onto the first bonding surface 113 during operation, which may cause short circuit and damage to the circuit equipment in the tobacco rod 110.

It should be noted that the number of the insulating protrusions 134 may be one, two, or more. When one insulating protrusion 134 is provided, all the first electrical connectors 132 are disposed on the same insulating protrusion 134; when the number of the insulating bumps 134 is two or more, the first electrical connectors 132 may be provided on the insulating bumps 134 one by one, or may be provided on the insulating bumps 134 many by one, or the like. In addition, the specific material of the insulating protrusion 134 can be selected in many ways, and it is only necessary that the surface of the protrusion has an insulating effect, for example: the insulating bumps 134 are made of plastic, wood, ceramic, glass, or the like.

Note that the insulating protrusion 134 may be fixed to the first coupling surface 113 or may be movably attached to the first coupling surface. When the insulating protrusion 134 is movably installed, the cartridge 120 is coupled to the smoke rod 110, and the insulating protrusion 134 can be triggered to move, so that the insulating protrusion 134 protrudes out of the first coupling surface 113 (i.e. is higher than the first coupling surface 113).

Further, referring to fig. 2, the insulating protrusion 134 is fixedly disposed on the first combining surface 113 and has a height difference with the first combining surface 113. Therefore, the insulating protrusion 134 is disposed between the first combining surface 113 and the second combining surface 123 to raise the position of the first electrical connector 132 on the first combining surface 113, so that a certain height difference exists between the first electrical connector 132 and the first combining surface 113, and the risk of short circuit caused by liquid leakage is effectively prevented.

Alternatively, the insulating protrusion 134 may be fixed to the first coupling surface 113 by, but not limited to, bolting, pinning, snapping, riveting, bonding, welding, integrally molding, and the like.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 2, the tobacco rod 110 further comprises a transmission structure. The first coupling surface 113 is provided with an expansion space 1131 for expanding and contracting the insulating protrusion 134. When the cartridge 120 is coupled to the control unit 111, the insulating protrusion 134 protrudes from the expansion space 1131 to the first coupling surface 113 under the action of the transmission structure. When the cartridge 120 is removed from the cigarette rod 110, the insulating protrusion 134 is received in the telescopic space 1131, so that a side surface of the insulating protrusion 134 facing the second combining surface 123 is flush with or lower than the first combining surface 113. Therefore, when the cartridge 120 is not coupled to the cigarette rod 110, the insulating protrusion 134 is located in the telescopic space 1131, so that the surface of the insulating protrusion 134 is flush with or lower than the first coupling surface 113, thereby effectively hiding the structure, ensuring that the first coupling surface 113 maintains integrity, and improving the appearance effect of the structure. When the cartridge 120 is coupled to the cigarette rod 110, the insulation protrusion 134 protrudes from the first coupling surface 113 under the action of the transmission structure, so as to facilitate the contact between the first electrical connector 132 and the second electrical connector 133, and to raise the first electrical connector 132 to block the contact of the liquid.

It should be noted that the transmission structure may be a link structure, a gear and rack combination structure, or a magnetic structure. When the transmission structure is a connecting rod structure, the cigarette cartridge 120 is connected to the cigarette rod 110 by using the lever principle, one end of the lever can be pressed down, and the other end can be tilted up to eject the insulating protrusion 134; or, when the transmission structure is a gear and rack combined structure, the two racks are respectively engaged on two sides of the gear, the cartridge 120 is connected to the cigarette rod 110, and the rack on one side can be pressed down to drive the gear, so that the rack on the other side rotates to eject the insulating protrusion 134; or, when the transmission structure is a magnetic structure (including two magnetic members), one magnetic member is disposed on the insulating protrusion 134, and the other magnetic member is disposed on the cartridge 120 (e.g., the interface of the cartridge 120), and when the transmission structure is coupled, the insulating protrusion 134 is attracted by a sufficiently large magnetic attraction. Of course, if the transmission structure is a magnetic structure, not only the effect that the insulating protrusion 134 protrudes out of the first coupling surface 113 can be achieved, but also the locking between the cartridge 120 and the tobacco rod 110 can be achieved.

It should also be noted that when the cartridge 120 is disconnected from the rod 110, the insulating protrusion 134 can be retracted into the expansion space 1131 under the action of external force or gravity.

In one embodiment, the heat non-combustion device 100 further comprises a spring. The spring is provided between the insulating protrusion 134 and the inner wall of the telescopic space 1131. When the cartridge 120 is disconnected from the rod 110, the insulative protrusion 134 is received in the expansion space 1131 under the action of the spring. Thus, when the cartridge 120 is disconnected from the rod 110 (i.e., the cartridge 120 is pulled out of the rod 110), the insulation protrusion 134 is returned to the expansion space 1131 under the action of the spring, so that the insulation protrusion 134 is completely accommodated in the expansion space 1131.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 4, the device 100 further includes an identification and authentication unit 160 electrically connected to the control unit 111. The identification authentication unit 160 is used to transmit the performance parameters of the cartridge 120 to the control unit 111. The control unit 111 controls the output power of the power supply module 112 according to the performance parameter so that the non-combustible heating device 100 can automatically recognize the kind of the cartridge 120, and corresponds to the output power according to the acquired information, thereby being advantageous to improve the automatic recognition performance of the non-combustible heating device 100.

It is noted that the performance parameter of the cartridge 120 is at least one of a resistance parameter of the heating element 122, a curie temperature of the heating element 122, a far infrared emission parameter of the heating element 122, a material composition parameter of the heating element 122, and a manufacturer of the heating element 122.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 4, the cartridge 120 further includes a detection unit 161 electrically connected to the control unit 111. The detection unit 161 is used to transmit the state parameters of the cartridge 120 to the control unit 111. The control unit 111 controls the output power of the power supply assembly 112 in dependence on the state parameter. It is understood that the power output of the power supply component 112 can also be adjusted according to the obtained status parameters, such as: acquiring real-time state parameters of the cartridge 120 by using the detection unit 161; the output power of the power supply module 112 is adjusted in time based on the acquired real-time status parameters so that the operation status of the non-combustion heating apparatus 100 is optimized.

It should be noted that the state parameter of the cartridge 120 is at least one of the real-time heating temperature of the heating element 122, the heating duration/number, the airflow pressure, the pressure experienced by the solid smoking material, etc.

In one embodiment, the cartridge 120 is heated using resistive heating, electromagnetic induction heating, or infrared heating. Thus, the types of heating of the cartridges 120 can be accurately displayed by different indicator lights.

In one embodiment, the heat non-combustion apparatus 100 further includes at least three indicator lights. The at least three indicator lights are each used to indicate whether the cartridge 120 is of a resistance heating, electromagnetic induction heating, or infrared heating cartridge 120 type.

Specifically, when the resistance heating cartridge 120 is connected to the tobacco rod 110, the red LED lamp is on; when the electromagnetic induction heating cartridge 120 is connected with the cigarette rod 110, the green LED lamp is on; when the infrared heating cartridge 120 is connected with the cigarette rod 110, the blue LED lamp bead is on, indicating that the connection is successful. In addition, the indicator light can be covered with a transparent PC (polycarbonate)/ABS (acrylonitrile Butadiene styrene) cover.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 4, the control unit 111 is provided with a start switch 163. The start switch 163 is used to control the control unit 111 to start operation. The start switch 163 may be a key switch, a touch switch, a slide switch along a predetermined track, or the like.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 4, the control unit 111 is provided with a communication module 162. The communication module 162 is used for wired or wireless connection of the smart terminal to realize user interactive control (for example, the control unit 111 operates different atomizing cores with different output powers, currents and temperatures), so as to adjust more suitable power supply and operating states.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 2, the device 100 for heating and burning non-combustible also includes a cover 140. The cover 140 covers an end of the cartridge 120 away from the tobacco rod 110 to protect the cartridge 120. The connection between the cover 140 and the cartridge 120 may be threaded, clamped, magnetically attracted, etc.

Further, referring to fig. 2, a cigarette lifter 150 is disposed on the cover 140. The cigarette lifter 150 is inserted into the receiving cavity 121 of the cartridge 120.

Specifically, referring to fig. 2, the smoke lifter 150 and the cover 140 are an integral structure.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 1, an aerosol generating device comprises an ultrasonic atomizer and the heated non-combustion device 100 of any of the above embodiments.

In the above smoke generating device, the above heating non-combustion device 100 is used, and in combination, the second combining surface 123 of the cartridge 120 is coupled to the tobacco rod 110 so as to face the first combining surface 113 of the tobacco rod 110. Because the connection assembly 130 is disposed adjacent the first engagement surface 113 and/or disposed on the cartridge 120 adjacent the second engagement surface 123, the cartridge 120 can be removably coupled to the tobacco rod 110 by the connection assembly 130. And because the connecting assembly 130 also has the current and data transmission functions, besides the requirement of mechanical connection between the cartridge 120 and the tobacco rod 110, a data transmission interface is provided between the cartridge 120 and the tobacco rod 110, so that the power supply requirement and the data information connection are both completed when the cartridge 120 is connected with the tobacco rod 110, the interface function of the device 100 which is not heated is diversified, and the multifunctional control requirement is effectively met.

It should be noted that, the ultrasonic atomizer utilizes the electronic high-frequency oscillation to break up the liquid tobacco tar to generate water mist through the high-frequency resonance of the atomizing sheet. Since the ultrasonic atomizer is not an object of improvement of the present embodiment, the specific structure thereof will not be described in detail herein, and reference can be made directly to the existing documents and products.

The technical features of the embodiments described above may be arbitrarily combined, and for the sake of brevity, all possible combinations of the technical features in the embodiments described above are not described, but should be considered as being within the scope of the present specification as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features.
