<Cartridge configuration>
First, to explain with reference to FIG. 3, the cartridge 3 is formed in a columnar shape, and is retractably accommodated inside the cartridge accommodating portion 10 from the cartridge insertion / extraction port 10a described above. The cartridge 3 is provided with a heating unit 25 (see FIG. 5) as an atomizer for storing a liquid aerosol source and atomizing the aerosol source. Aerosol sources include liquids such as glycerin, propylene glycol, and water. Ingredients equivalent to those of the flavor source described later may be added to the aerosol source.

As shown in FIG. 5, the cartridge 3 includes a tank 21, a gasket 22, a mesh body 23, an atomizing container 24, a heating unit 25, and a heater holder 26. The tank 21 stores an aerosol source. The tank 21 has translucency, and the remaining amount of the aerosol source can be confirmed.

The term "translucent" as used herein means "transparent" in which light has an extremely high transmittance and the other side of the substance can be seen through the substance, and light is transmitted in the same manner as "transparent". Although it has properties, it includes a state in which the shape of the other side cannot be clearly recognized through the material, unlike "transparent", because the transmitted light is diffused or the transmission rate is low. That is, even frosted glass, milky white plastic, or the like has translucency.

The tank 21 is formed in a climax cylinder shape. A through hole 9h is in contact with the upper surface 3a of the cartridge 3 which is the top of the tank 21. A flow path tube 21c connected to the through hole 9h is provided on the upper surface 3a along the central axis of the cartridge 3. The flow path tube 21c serves as a flow path for the atomized aerosol. The flow path pipe 21c is connected to the outer peripheral wall 21d of the tank 21 via a plurality of ribs 21e. The ribs 21e are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction so as to be radial when viewed from the main axis direction.

The outer peripheral wall 21d of the tank 21 extends below the lower end of the flow path pipe 21c. Two engaging holes 21f (see FIG. 3) are formed in the vicinity of the lower end portion of the outer peripheral wall 21d. The two engagement holes 21f are for fixing the heater holder 26 to the tank 21.

The wick 25a is a substantially columnar member that is porous and has liquid absorbency. The wick 25a is curved and deformed in a substantially U shape. More specifically, the wick 25a has two spindle extending portions extending in the spindle direction and a radial extending portion connecting the two spindle extending portions to each other. The two spindle-oriented extending portions are arranged so as to overlap each other in the X-axis direction (the front-back direction of the paper surface in FIG. 8), and each of them is connected to the mesh body 23. As a result, the aerosol source absorbed by the mesh body 23 is sucked up by the wick 25a.

The heating wire 25b is a heat generating element capable of heating an aerosol source, and is composed of a heat generating resistor, a ceramic heater, an induction heating type heater, and the like. The heating wire 25b is spirally wound around the radial extension portion of the wick 25a.

At the upper end of the peripheral wall 26a, two engaging pieces 26b that engage with the two engaging holes 21f of the outer peripheral wall 21d of the tank 21 are formed. A gasket 22, a mesh body 23, and an atomizing container 24 are incorporated in this order between the tank 21 and the heater holder 26 in the main axis direction.

The lower side of the peripheral wall 26a of the heater holder 26 is exposed from the tank 21. The lower side of the peripheral wall 26a has substantially the same outer diameter as the outer peripheral wall 21d of the tank 21. Further, two intake holes 26c (see FIG. 3) penetrating in the radial direction are formed on the lower side of the peripheral wall 26a. The two intake holes 26c are arranged to face each other on both sides of the peripheral wall 26a with the main shaft CL interposed therebetween. The two intake holes 26c communicate the outside of the cartridge 3 (inside the cartridge accommodating portion 10) with the atomization chamber 24c. The bottom wall 26d of the heater holder 26 may or may not have an intake hole 26e penetrating in the main axis direction. The intake hole 26e also communicates the outside of the cartridge 3 (inside the cartridge accommodating portion 10) with the atomization chamber 24c.

On the bottom wall 26d of the heater holder 26, a plate-shaped isolation wall 26f is erected in the direction of the main axis CL. Further, the isolation wall 26f extends in the radial direction, and both ends thereof are connected to the inner surface of the peripheral wall 26a. Two slits 26g penetrating in the main axis CL direction are formed on the bottom wall 26d. The two slits 26g are arranged so as to sandwich the isolation wall 26f. Bent portions of the two plane electrodes 26h are inserted into the two slits 26g. The isolation wall 26f prevents short circuits at both ends of the heating wire 25b connected to the two planar electrodes 26h and the two planar electrodes 26h. The two flat electrodes 26h and the bottom surface of the peripheral wall 26a form the lower surface 3b of the cartridge 3.

Returning to FIG. 3, three engaging recesses 26i are formed on the bottom wall 26d of the heater holder 26. The three engaging recesses 26i are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction (120 ° intervals in the circumferential direction). The engaging recess 26i is formed so as to open the outer side in the radial direction and the lower side in the main axis direction. The engaging recess 26i is formed in an isosceles trapezoidal shape when viewed from the radial direction, and has tapered legs (slopes) whose width in the circumferential direction gradually increases toward the lower side in the main axis direction.

<How to operate the aspirator>
FIG. 8 is a schematic side view for showing the operation of the lid member 2a of the non-combustion type suction device 1 shown in FIG.

When assembling the non-combustion type suction device 1, as shown in FIG. 8, first, the lid member 2a is opened, and then the cartridge 3 is accommodated in the cartridge accommodating portion 10 of the case body 2b from above. At the time of this storage, the cartridge 3 is inserted from the cartridge insertion / removal port 10a of the cartridge storage unit 10 with the flat electrode 26h of the cartridge 3 facing the case body 2b side.

The cartridge 3 freely falls when it is inserted into the cartridge accommodating portion 10. At this time, there is nothing around the cartridge 3 that hinders the movement of the cartridge 3 in the rotational direction, and the cartridge 3 is also falling with a certain force. Therefore, in most cases, the circumferential positions of the engaging convex portion 10h of the cartridge accommodating portion 10 and the engaging concave portion 26i of the cartridge 3 do not match. The cartridge 3 may bounce and rotate to be accommodated in the normal position due to the collision of the cartridge accommodating portion 10 with the engaging convex portion 10h, but the engaging convex portion 10h and the engaging concave portion 26i are displaced from each other. It may be in a state.

In a state where the engaging convex portion 10h and the engaging concave portion 26i are misaligned, the cartridge 3 is in a position where the cartridge 3 is floated by the height of the engaging convex portion 10h with respect to the regular storage position. When a force in the pushing direction is applied to the cartridge 3 in this state, the module 62 moves in the pushing direction as the expansion / contraction member 63 is compressed.
