Definitions

  • Aerosol generation devices commonly found on the market typically comprise one or more input element such as buttons, switches, touch panels or similar interface elements that allow a user of the aerosol generation device to provide operation input for the device. Using these input elements, the user may, for example, turn the aerosol generation device on or off, adjust one or more operation parameters of the device such as a heating temperature or duration, or may input a request for the aerosol generation device to output, for example, information pertaining to an operational state of the aerosol generation device.
  • input element such as buttons, switches, touch panels or similar interface elements that allow a user of the aerosol generation device to provide operation input for the device.
  • the user may, for example, turn the aerosol generation device on or off, adjust one or more operation parameters of the device such as a heating temperature or duration, or may input a request for the aerosol generation device to output, for example, information pertaining to an operational state of the aerosol generation device.
  • Some configurations provide one or more input elements that are accessible at the exterior surface of an outer device housing of the aerosol generation device. While the input elements are easily accessible, such configurations are prone to unintentional actuation of the input elements. Furthermore, they are subject to mechanical wear and tear and are not protected from ingress of liquids and small particles and particulates.
  • Some configurations utilize a cover panel that covers input elements provided on a main body of the aerosol generation device. The cover panel can typically be detached or otherwise moved relative to the main body to expose the input elements to a user of the aerosol generation device.
  • EP 3 711 585 A1 discloses a smoking substitute device
  • the invention is an aerosol generation device that comprises a main body defined by a main housing comprising an operation interface portion that is provided at at least a portion of the exterior surface of the main housing and that can be actuated for operating the aerosol generation device, and a cover element that is detachably attached or connected to the main housing. At least a portion of the operation interface portion is arranged between the exterior surface of the main housing and the cover element, and the cover element comprises one or more flexible regions that can be elastically deformed for actuating the operation interface portion.
  • the cover element comprising one or more flexible regions is advantageous because, on the one hand, the cover element covers the operation interface portion to provide protection against harmful exterior influences, while on the other hand, the one or more flexible regions allow a user to actuate the operation interface portion without the need to remove or move the cover element to expose the operation interface portion.
  • any material has a certain amount of elasticity, "elastically deformed", within the context of the present invention, refers to any elastic deformation that may be induced by a user of the aerosol generation device with any additional tools or aids. Being detachable is advantageous because it allows the operation interface portion, or any other functional element of the aerosol generation device covered by the cover element to be directly accessed if required.
  • the entire operation interface portion is arranged between the cover element and the main housing.
  • the operation interface portion is not externally visible.
  • the 3 rd aspect is advantageous because it provides improved protection for the operation interface portion. Additionally, it allows the operation interface portion to comprise optical components and devices whose operation and performance would otherwise be disturbed or negatively affected by ambient or stray light.
  • the one or more flexible regions can be pressed by a hand or a finger of a user.
  • the one or more flexible regions can be pressed to be elastically deformed towards the main housing for actuating the operation interface portion.
  • the 5 th aspect is advantageous because it allows the deformation of the one or more flexible regions caused by being pressed to directly correspond to an actuation of the operation interface portion.
  • the one or more flexible regions can be pressed to be elastically deformed towards the main housing for actuating different regions of the operation interface portion.
  • the 6 th aspect is advantageous because it allows a user to selectively actuate different regions of the operation interface portion.
  • the 15 th aspect is advantageous because an optical or magnetic sensor can be actuated without being physically contacted and is thus subjected to less wear and tear from repeated use.
  • an output element is provided at the surface of the main housing between the main housing and the cover element.
  • the output element comprises an indicator light.
  • the 19 th , 20 th , and 21 st aspects are advantageous because they allow the cover element to adjust or conform to different shapes of the aerosol generation device.
  • the 23 rd aspect is advantageous because it provides an optimal balance between material strength, weight, and thickness for the flexible regions.
  • the 24 th aspect is advantageous because it decreases the manufacturing complexity and prevents ingress of unwanted substances.
  • the aerosol generation device comprises a cover detection means for detecting whether the cover element is attached to the main housing.
  • the 25 th aspect is advantageous because it allows a determination of whether the cover element is properly attached to ensure proper and safe operation and protection of the aerosol generation device.
  • the cover detection means comprises sensor circuitry.
  • the sensor circuitry comprises a Hall sensor, an optical sensor, and an electrical sensor.
  • the 27 th and 28 th aspects are advantageous because sensors are less susceptible to mechanical wear and tear due to repeated attachment and detachment of the cover element as the actuation of a Hall sensor, an optical sensor, or an electrical sensor does not require a mechanical actuation of the sensor by, e.g., pressing onto the sensor or otherwise moving a part of the sensor.
  • Proper positioning and attachment of the cover element are important for ensuring that a user may properly and safely operate the aerosol generation device, i.e. that a user input by pressing onto a flexible region of the cover element actuates the operation interface portion as intended, and are further important for ensuring proper protection of the operation interface portion from potentially harmful external influences.
  • the 29 th aspect is therefore advantageous because it allows the operation of the aerosol generation device to be adapted based on whether the cover element is properly attached or not.
  • the 30 th aspect is therefore advantageous because it prevents unsafe operation of the aerosol generation device.
  • the aerosol generation device comprises a heating unit for heating an aerosol generation substrate.
  • the receptable may be configured for receiving a cartridge containing an aerosol generation substrate such as a liquid
  • the heating unit 110 may comprise a wicking element and a heating element configured for heating the wicking element.
  • the aerosol generation device 100 also comprises a power supply that may be a replaceable and/or rechargeable power supply, and may additionally be provided with a charging port for charging the rechargeable power supply.
  • the power supply may preferably be a battery.
  • the cover element 300 is detachably attached to the main housing 200.
  • the cover element being detachable means that the cover element 300 is detachable from the main housing by a user of the aerosol generation device 100 without requiring any additional tools or aids, but can be detached by the user utilizing one or both hands.
  • the cover element may not be detachable and may be integrally formed with the main housing or at least a portion of the main housing.
  • the exterior surface of the aerosol generation device 100 may be a smooth and uniform surface except for seams that are formed where the cover element 300 and the main housing 200 are adjoined.
  • the exterior surface of the cover element 300 has a smooth and continuous shape, and the transition from the exterior surface of the cover element 300 to the exterior surface of the main housing 200 is smooth and continuous with the exception of a seam that is formed at the transition.
  • the operation interface portion 220 comprises one or more operation input elements 230 that can be actuated for providing an input for operating the aerosol generation device 100. At least a portion or all of the operation interface portion 220 that comprises one or more operation input elements 230 is covered by the cover element 300 when the cover element 300 is attached to the main housing 200, i.e. the operation interface portion comprises one or more operation input elements 230 that are arranged between the main housing 200 and the cover element 300. Preferably, all operation input elements 230 are arranged between the main housing 200 and the cover element 300.
  • the operation interface portion 220 and the operation input elements 230 are illustrated with dashed lines in Figs. 2A and 2B to indicate their respective positions underneath the cover element 300 by which they are covered.
  • the cover element 300 may preferably be at least partially or fully opaque, or translucent to the extent that operation input elements 230 enclosed between the main housing 200 and the cover element 300 are not visible through the cover element 300.
  • the one or more operation input elements 230 comprise input elements that, when actuated, may cause one of the following: turn the aerosol generation device 100 on/off, change and/or set a heating temperature and/or heating duration of a heating unit 110 provided with the aerosol generation device 100, check an amount of consumable remaining, check an amount of power remaining in the power supply, and perform any other function and/or operation associated with the aerosol generation device 100.
  • a flexible region 300a may correspond to an operation input element 230 such that deforming the flexible region 300a actuates the corresponding operation input element 230.
  • the cover element 300 may thus be provided with one or more flexible regions 300a corresponding to one or more operation input elements 230 provided at the main housing.
  • a flexible region 300a may correspond to more than one operation input element 230, and different portions of the flexible region 300a may be deformed for actuating different operation input elements 230.
  • the aerosol generation device 100 may further be provided with an operation output element 240.
  • the operation output element 240 may comprise a light indicator such as one or more LED light sources or an LED light strip.
  • the one or more flexible regions may comprise a material that can be elastically deformed when pressed by a user of the aerosol generation device 100, and the one or more non-flexible regions 300b may comprise a material that cannot be elastically deformed when pressed by the user.
  • flexible regions 300a may also have an average material thickness that is different, preferably smaller than an average material thickness of the one or more non-flexible regions 300b, i.e. the one or more flexible regions are thin enough such that they can be deformed when pressed by the user while the one or more non-flexible regions 300b are thick enough that they cannot be elastically deformed when pressed by the user.
  • one or more protrusions 301 may be provided and configured for actuating the one or more operation input elements 230 provided on and/or at the main housing 200.
  • not every operation input element 230 may be provided with a corresponding protrusion 301.
  • One or more of the one or more flexible regions 300a may be provided with more than one protrusion 301, wherein different protrusions 301 are provided at different portions of the inner surface of the one or more of the one or more flexible regions 300a, and are configured for actuating different operation input elements 230.
  • One or more of the one or more protrusions may be provided with a single protrusion configured for actuating a single corresponding operation input element 230, as shown in Fig. 4B .
  • the one or more protrusions may be integrally formed with the cover element 300.
  • a protrusion provided with the flexible region of the one or more flexible regions 300a configured for actuating a corresponding operation input element 230 may be configured to be distanced from and not be in contact with the corresponding operation input element 230.
  • the protrusion 301 is moved towards to corresponding operation input element 230 to actuate the operation input element 230.
  • the sensor may comprise a magnetic sensor, and the flexible region 300a may comprise a ferromagnetic material, or a component that is integrally formed with or separately provided at the inner surface of the cover element 300 and that may be detected by the magnetic sensor.
  • the magnetic sensor may be a Hall sensor
  • the cover element 300 may comprise a ferromagnetic material or be provided with a ferromagnetic component.
  • the Hall sensor may detect a change in distance of the ferromagnetic material or component relative to the Hall sensor.
