Aerosol generating device

Abstract

One or more embodiments relate to an aerosol generating device including a main body, a separation member detachably coupled to the main body, an accommodation hole penetrating the separation member and configured to accommodate an external device electrically connected to the aerosol generating device, and a separation guide hole connected to the accommodation hole and extending in a direction different from a direction in which the accommodation hole extends so that a separation tool for separating the separation member from the main body is inserted into the separation guide hole.

1 . An aerosol generating device comprising:
 a main body;   a separation member detachably coupled to the main body;   an accommodation hole penetrating the separation member and configured to accommodate an external device electrically connected to the aerosol generating device; and   a separation guide hole connected to the accommodation hole and extending in a direction different from a direction in which the accommodation hole extends so that a separation tool for separating the separation member from the main body is inserted into the separation guide hole.   
     
     
         2 . The aerosol generating device of  claim 1 , wherein the separation guide hole extends in a direction crossing the direction in which the accommodation hole extends. 
     
     
         3 . The aerosol generating device of  claim 1 , wherein the separation guide hole is formed in a region in which the separation member meets an extension line of a long axis of a cross-section of the accommodation hole. 
     
     
         4 . The aerosol generating device of  claim 1 , wherein the separation member comprises: a coupling portion coupled to the main body; and a barrier located between the separation guide hole and the coupling portion. 
     
     
         5 . The aerosol generating device of  claim 4 , wherein each of a first distance from the separation guide hole to the barrier and a second distance from the separation guide hole to the coupling portion has a length ratio of 1:3 to 1:15. 
     
     
         6 . The aerosol generating device of  claim 1 , wherein an open end portion of the separation guide hole has a length of 0.3 mm to 3 mm in the direction in which the accommodation hole extends. 
     
     
         7 . The aerosol generating device of  claim 1 , further comprising a protective member located inside the accommodation hole and surrounding at least a portion of a side surface of the accommodation hole,
 wherein the protective member blocks a portion of the open end portion of the separation guide hole.   
     
     
         8 . The aerosol generating device of  claim 1 , wherein the accommodation hole is configured to accommodate an interface terminal configured to receive power from the external device.
