Description

FIELD



[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of atomization devices, and in particular, to an aerosol generation device and a driving mechanism.

BACKGROUND



[0002] An aerosol generation device, as an emerging technology, has replaced a traditional-burning cigarette by heating e-liquid or a low temperature cigarette. The aerosol generation device works at a low heating temperature, and produces far less harmful ingredients than the traditional-burning cigarette when heating. Therefore, the aerosol generation device can greatly avoid adverse effects from the cigarette to the human body and thus provides a healthier way of smoking. Currently, there are two typical aerosol generation devices in the market. The first one is an electronic atomization device that generates inhalable aerosol by evaporating the e-liquid. The second one is a low-temperature heating device that generates inhalable aerosol by heating the tobacco at a low temperature in a non-burning state. Generally, as for the low-temperature heating device, a heater such as a heating sheet is inserted into the cigarette to heat the cigarette. By controlling the heating temperature, the components of the cigarette are volatilized into the aerosol. When a cigarette is heated to a certain time, the amount of the aerosol produced by the cigarette reaches a maximum, and it is necessary to pull the cigarette out of the device to stop smoking or to replace a new cigarette to continue smoking. How to easily and quickly pull the cigarette out from the device without damaging the cigarette and without leaving residues on the heater becomes a crucial problem. Currently, the cigarette is taken out of the device manually by pulling the cigarette. However, due to that the pulling strengths and directions of users are different, problems, such as the cigarette is broken apart, or there are some residues attached to the heater, tend to be caused when pulling the cigarette by users.

wherein a positioning structure is provided in the housing (10) and configured for limiting a position of the driving member (31).


 
14. The aerosol generation device of claim 5, wherein the driving assembly (32) comprises a connecting rod (323) connected to the driving member (31), and a push button (324) movable along the longitudinal direction and connected to the connecting rod (323).
 
15. A driving mechanism, characterized by comprising:

a driving member (31);

wherein the driving member (31) comprises a push portion (311) cooperated with a receiving tube (20) which is configured for receiving cigarette (2), and

wherein the push portion (311) is capable of being received in the receiving tube (20) and abutted against the bottom of cigarette (2), and movable relative to the receiving tube (20) between a first position adjacent to the first end and a second position away from the first end, so as to push cigarette (2) out of the receiving tube (20).


 
16. The driving mechanism of claim 15, wherein the push portion (311) is in the shape of a circular plate, and the radial size of the push portion (311) is less than the radial size of the receiving tube (20).
 
17. The driving mechanism of claim 15, wherein the push portion (311) is provided with a via hole.
 
18. The driving mechanism of claim 15, further comprising:

a driving assembly (32) connected to the driving member (31) to drive the driving member (31) to move;

wherein the driving member (31) further comprises a connection portion (312) connecting the driving member the driving assembly (32).


 
19. The driving mechanism of claim 18, wherein the driving assembly (32) comprises a magnetic assembly;

wherein the magnetic assembly comprises an induction coil (321) disposed side-by-side with the receiving tube (20) along the transverse direction, and a magnetic member (322) connected to the driving member (31); and

wherein the magnetic member (322) and the induction coil(321) are arranged side-by-side along the axial direction thereof, so that the magnetic member (322) is able to move towards the induction coil (321) when an electromagnetic induction is generated when the induction coil (321) is powered on, thereby driving the driving member (31) to push out cigarette (2) in the receiving tube (20).


 
20. The driving mechanism of claim 19, wherein the driving member (31) further comprises an installation portion (313) connected to the push portion (311) and configured for mounting the magnetic member (322).
