As can be seen from fig. 1-2, in the present embodiment, when the heating of the generator needs to be started, a force is first applied to the body 210 of the trigger assembly 200 located at the initial position along the axial direction of the generator and in the direction toward the first housing 121 (corresponding to the horizontal rightward direction in fig. 2) to move the body 210 from the initial position to the trigger position, and then the trigger assembly 200 located at the trigger position is rotated along the circumferential direction of the generator to open the trigger unit 111a of the trigger assembly 200. After the heating element of the generating device is started to heat, the triggering component 200 is rotated reversely along the circumferential direction of the generating device, so that the triggering component 200 reaches the triggering position, the triggering component 200 is released, and the body 210 of the triggering component 200 can drive the whole triggering component 200 to return to the initial position through the magnetic attraction structure.

As another alternative of this embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the trigger assembly 200 further includes a limiting member 230, the limiting member 230 is disposed inside the body 210, the housing assembly 100 further includes a limiting groove 130, and the limiting groove 130 is formed as an L-shaped groove; the limiting member 230 is fitted in the limiting groove 130 and moves along the limiting groove 130 to limit the movement of the body 210 of the trigger assembly 200. That is, alternatively, the movement of the trigger assembly 200 is limited by the cooperation of the limiting slot 130 and the limiting member 230. Optionally, a plurality of limiting grooves 130 may also be disposed on the housing assembly 100, one of the limiting grooves 130 may be configured to cooperate with the trigger portion 220 of the trigger assembly 200 to guide the trigger portion 220 to move from the initial position to the trigger position, and the other limiting grooves 130 cooperate with the limiting members 230 on the body 210, so that when the trigger assembly 200 is located at the initial position, the trigger assembly 200 is limited in the circumferential direction of the generating device, that is, in the embodiment, the trigger assembly 200 can reach the trigger position from the initial position only by driving the trigger assembly 200 to move along the axial direction of the generating device and toward the first housing 121, thereby further improving the starting reliability of the generating device.

Further, the limiting groove 130 includes a first notch 131 and a second notch 132 perpendicular to the first notch 131, the first notch 131 is formed at an end of the first housing 121, and the second notch 132 is formed at an end of the second housing 122. That is, as shown in fig. 3, the first notch 131 is disposed on the first housing 121, the opening of the first notch 131 faces the second housing 122, the opening of the second notch 132 faces the first housing 121, the first notch 131 and the second notch 132 are communicated to form the L-shaped limiting groove 130, the first notch 131 of the L-shaped limiting groove 130 is used for providing a moving space for the trigger part 220 and the limiting member 230 when the trigger assembly 200 moves from the initial position to the trigger position, and the second notch 132 is used for providing a rotating space for the trigger part 220 and the limiting member 230 when the trigger assembly 200 is operated. In addition, the first notch 131 and the second notch 132 are respectively arranged at the end of the first housing 121 and the end of the second housing 122, so that the strength of the housing 120 can be improved, and the reliability of the generating device can be improved.

Further, the switch unit 111a is a toggle switch with an automatic return function, and the trigger portion 220 includes a force arm 220a capable of abutting against a contact of the toggle switch. That is, the switch unit 111a may preferably be a toggle switch, so that when the switch unit 111a is turned on and the trigger assembly 200 is returned to the initial position, the switch unit 111a may also be returned to the closed state, so as to prevent the heating element from continuously heating the aerogel, and further improve the reliability of the start-up of the generator. And set up trigger part 220 to the arm of force 220a that can with toggle switch's contact butt to toggle switch through arm of force 220a and open, further improve the convenience of generating device operation.

In this embodiment, the starting heating process of the generating device is as follows: first, as shown in fig. 5 (a) and 5 (b), the trigger assembly 200 is attracted to the second housing 122 by a magnetic attraction structure, specifically, the first magnetic attraction part 140 is embedded in the second housing 122 of the housing 120, and the second magnetic attraction part 211 is embedded in the body 210 of the trigger assembly 200, so that the second housing 122 can be connected to the body 210 by the magnetic attraction structure. The trigger 220 is disposed in the limit groove 130 of the second housing 122, and the end of the switch unit 111a extends into the limit groove 130 of the first housing 121, and due to the limit function of the limit member 230 on the body 210, even if a rotation moment in the left-right direction is applied to the body 210, the trigger 220 cannot trigger the switch unit 111a to open. Therefore, when the generator is not required to be started for heating, the generator of the embodiment can avoid the situation that the switch unit 111a on the control board 111 is mistakenly triggered to be opened due to the rotation of the body 210, so that the starting reliability of the generator is improved; then, as shown in fig. 5 (c) and 5 (d), the driving body 210 moves along the axial direction of the generating device and in the direction toward the first housing 121 (corresponding to the downward direction in fig. 5 (c)), so that the body 210 drives the trigger 220 to move toward the switch unit 111a, the driving body 210 continues to move until the trigger 220 moves to the right end of the switch unit 111a, and at the same time, the limiting member 230 on the body 210 slides from the second notch 132 of the second housing 122 to the first notch 131 of the first housing 121 under the driving of the body 210; subsequently, as shown in fig. 5 (e) and 5 (f), the driving body 210 rotates along the circumferential direction of the generating device (corresponding to the left direction in fig. 5 (e)), at this time, the body 210 drives the triggering portion 220 to gradually approach the switch unit 111a, the driving body 210 continues to rotate until the triggering portion 220 abuts against the switch unit 111a, and at the same time, the limiting member 230 on the body 210 slides leftwards in the first notch 131 of the first housing 121 under the driving of the body 210; finally, as shown in fig. 5 (g) and 5 (h), the body 210 is continuously driven to rotate along the circumferential direction of the generating device (corresponding to the leftward direction in fig. 5 (e)), at this time, the body 210 continues to drive the triggering portion 220 to move leftward, the triggering portion 220 generates an acting force on the switch unit 111a abutted thereto, so as to trigger the switch unit 111a to open, meanwhile, under the driving of the body 210, the limiting member 230 on the body 210 continues to slide leftward in the first notch 131 of the first housing 121, and after the switch unit 111a is opened, the control board 111 connected thereto can control the heating element of the generating device to heat. The generating device of the embodiment drives the body 210 of the trigger assembly 200 to slide so that the trigger part 220 moves to the corresponding position of the switch unit 111a, then rotates the body 210 of the trigger assembly 200 to enable the force arm 220a on the trigger part 220 to abut against the switch unit 111a, and finally continuously rotates the body 210 to enable the switch unit 111a to be turned on so as to start the heating element of the generating device, thereby avoiding the false triggering of the switch unit 111a on the control panel 111 due to the rotation of the trigger assembly 200 and improving the starting reliability of the generating device.

It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the smoking set structure includes, but is not limited to, a cylinder structure, and for the smoking set with the cylinder structure, the trigger assembly 200 may be sleeved on the housing 120. For smoking articles of non-cylindrical construction, the trigger assembly 200 may be disposed on the housing 120 in a non-telescoping manner, as long as the body of the trigger assembly 200 can cooperate with the housing 120 to move the body on the surface of the housing 120 according to a predetermined trajectory, for example, the body may be a sheet-like member.

That is, as shown in fig. 6 to 7, the control board 111 is disposed on the inner frame 110, the trigger assembly 200 is connected to the housing 120, and the housing 120 to which the trigger assembly 200 is connected is socket-connected to the inner frame 110 on which the control board 111 is disposed. The body of the trigger assembly 200 is slidably connected to the housing 120, the housing 120 is provided with a limiting groove 130, when the housing 120 is sleeved with the inner rack 110, the limiting groove 130 of the housing 120 needs to be aligned with the control board 111 of the inner rack 110, and the trigger portion 220 of the trigger assembly 200 is disposed on the body 210 and is engaged with the limiting groove 130.

Further, the second direction is a radially inward direction of the generating device, an elastic member 300 is provided in the housing assembly 100, and the triggering portion 220 can act on the switch unit 111a through the elastic member 300. That is to say, as shown in fig. 7, the trigger part 220 reaching the trigger position may apply a force to the trigger part 220 along a radially inward direction of the generating device, so that the trigger part 220 abuts against the switch unit 111a to start heating of the heating element, and by providing the elastic member 300, when the heating element is started to heat, the opened switch unit 111a may also return to the closed state under the action of the elastic member 300, so as to prevent the heating element from continuously heating the aerogel due to continuous starting, thereby further improving the starting reliability of the generating device. Preferably, the elastic member 300 may be a silicone pad, a spring plate, or other elastic members to facilitate the opened switch unit to return to the closed state.

In this embodiment, the starting heating process of the generating device is as follows: first, as shown in fig. 8 (a) and 8 (b), the trigger assembly 200 is interposed between the inner bracket 110 and the housing 120, the trigger part 220 of the trigger assembly 200 is disposed at a side close to the switch unit 111a, the trigger part 220 is disposed above the switch unit 111a in a staggered manner, and due to the limiting action of the limiting groove 130, a downward or rightward force is applied to the trigger assembly 200, and the trigger part 220 cannot move; when the heating element heated by the generating device is not required to be started for heating, the generating device of the embodiment can avoid the situation that the switch unit 111a on the control board 111 is triggered to be opened by mistake due to the rotation of the body 210, so that the starting reliability of the generating device is improved; secondly, as shown in fig. 8 (c) and 8 (d), a rightward acting force is applied to the trigger assembly 200, so that the trigger portion 220 moves rightward towards the switch unit 111a, the drive is continued until the trigger portion 220 moves right above the switch unit 111a, the trigger portion 220 reaches the trigger position from the initial position, the limiting groove 130 on the housing 120 provides a space for the movement of the trigger assembly 200, and also has a limiting effect on the movement of the trigger assembly 200, so that the body 210 of the trigger assembly 200 can be prevented from generating an interference slippage to cause the trigger position to be unable to be accurately reached, and the convenience in operation of the generating device is further improved; finally, as shown in fig. 8 (e) and 8 (f), a force is applied to the trigger assembly 200 along a radially inward direction of the generator (corresponding to a vertically downward direction of fig. 8 e), so that the trigger 220 moves vertically downward toward the switch unit 111a, and the driving is continued until the trigger 220 contacts the switch unit 111a, so that the trigger switch unit 111a is turned on, and after the switch unit 111a is turned on, the control board 111 connected thereto controls the heating element to heat the aerogel.

Further, the switch unit 111a is formed as one of a microswitch or dome sheet, the trigger 220 is formed as a boss structure which can abut against the switch unit 111a, and the trigger 220 can abut against the switch unit 111a and trigger the switch unit 111a to be turned on/off by pressing the body 210. That is, as shown in fig. 8 (e) and 8 (f), by pressing the body 210 exposed outside the limiting groove 130, the boss structure of the trigger 220 may be brought into contact with the micro switch or dome sheet, so that the trigger switch unit 111a is activated. The switch unit 111a of this embodiment through setting up micro-gap switch or dome piece can further improve the convenience that the smoking set started.

The generating device of the embodiment needs to sequentially drive the trigger assembly 200 to slide to the position right above the switch unit 111a, and then the trigger assembly is pressed downwards to make the trigger assembly 200 contact with the switch unit 111a, so that the switch unit 111a can be turned on, and the heating element is triggered to heat the aerogel, thereby avoiding the phenomenon that the switch unit 111a on the control board 111 is triggered by mistake due to the sliding or pressing of the trigger assembly 200, and improving the starting reliability of the generating device.

The foregoing is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, a plurality of improvements and embellishments can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and embellishments should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
