AEROSOL GENERATING DEVICE CONTAINING ELEMENT SENSOR IN FORM OF LID Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC A24F40/40 A24F40/51 

FIELD: tobacco industry.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to an aerosol generating device and a system containing such a device. Aerosol generating device (10) contains case (12), cavity (32) for accommodation of aerosol generating product (80), and hole (34) at least partially formed by case (12). Hole (34) is located at end of cavity (32) for insertion of aerosol generating product (80) to cavity (32) through hole (34). Aerosol generating device (10) also contains element (42) in the form of a lid, made with the possibility of movement relatively to case (12) between a closed position, in which element (42) in the form of a lid at least partially closes hole (34), and an open position, in which hole (34) is at least partially opened. Aerosol generating device (10) also contains sensor (26) made with the possibility of supply of an electrical signal indicating a location of element (42) in the form of a lid relatively to hole (34). Aerosol generating device (10) also contains element (74) in the form of an indicator, made with the possibility of movement relatively to sensor (26), when element (42) in the form of a lid is moved between the closed position and the open position. The electrical signal supplied by sensor (26) is determined by a location of element (74) in the form of an indicator relatively to sensor (26). Element (74) in the form of an indicator contains an optical surface, and sensor (26) contains an optical sensor containing a light transmitter and a light receiver.

EFFECT: conversion of movement of an element in the form of a lid into another movement of an element in the form of an indicator is provided, while another movement of the element in the form of the indicator is optimized for detection by a sensor; automatic closing of the element in the form of a lid is provided, when the second case is moved relatively to the first case.
