Abstract

An aerosol generation device may include a first housing comprising an opening at one side, an inner space for accommodating a cigarette inserted through the opening, and a heater disposed in the inner space; a second housing coupled to other side of the first housing and including a controller; a fastening portion configured to couple the first housing to the second housing; a battery coupled to the second housing; and a case coupled to the second housing for accommodating the second housing, the fastening portion, and the battery therein, wherein the fastening portion is prevented, by the case, from being exposed to outside.

Claims (17)

1. An aerosol generation device comprising:

a first housing comprising an opening opened at one side, an inner space accommodating a cigarette inserted through the opening, and a heater positioned in the inner space;

a second housing comprising a controller and coupled to another side of the first housing;

a fastening portion configured to couple the first housing and the second housing;

a battery coupled to the second housing; and

a case accommodating the second housing, the fastening portion, and the battery therein, and coupled to the second housing,

wherein the fastening portion includes a first portion protruding from the other side of the first housing toward the second housing such that the first portion is located outside the second housing when the first housing is coupled to the second housing, and a second portion formed in the second housing,

wherein the first housing and the second housing are coupled when the first portion and the second portion are coupled, and

wherein the fastening portion is accommodated inside the case when the case is coupled to the second housing such that the fastening portion is covered by the case and the first housing is exposed to outside.

2. The aerosol generation device of claim 1 , further comprising a switch electrically connected to the controller inside the second housing, wherein the case comprises a through hole exposing the switch to the outside.

3. The aerosol generation device of claim 1 , further comprising a cap portion disposed outside the first housing to surround the first housing.

4. The aerosol generation device of claim 3 , wherein an appearance of the aerosol generation device is formed by continuously connecting an outer surface of the cap portion and an outer surface of the case to each other.

5. The aerosol generation device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a coupling portion configured to couple the second housing to the case; and

a cover mounted on one surface of the case to cover the coupling portion.

6. The aerosol generation device of claim 5 , further comprising an adhesive portion disposed between the case and the cover, wherein an adhesive material is applied to both sides of the adhesive portion.

7. The aerosol generation device of claim 6 , wherein, when the cover coupled to the case by the adhesive portion is separated from the case, at least a part of the adhesive portion is deformed to indicate that the cover is separated from the case.
