when the movable member slides to the first slide position, the first magnetic member and the third magnetic member attract each other to generate an attractive force that positions the movable member to the first slide position; and when the movable member slides to the second slide position, the second magnetic member and the third magnetic member repel each other to generate a repulsive force that positions the movable member to the second slide position.
6 . The door mechanism according to claim 3 , wherein the drive portion comprises a fourth magnetic member and a fifth magnetic member with magnetic poles of same polarity arranged correspondingly, the fourth magnetic member is fixed on the movable member, and the fifth magnetic member is fixed on the housing; and
when the movable member slides relative to the housing, the fourth magnetic member is biased toward a position of the fifth magnetic member in the direction of the second stroke in the first slide position or the second slide position, so that the fifth magnetic member generates a repulsive force that positions the movable member to the first slide position or the second slide position.
7 . The door mechanism according to claim 3 , wherein the second slide position and the press position are a same position; and
the drive portion generates the driving force that positions the movable member to the second slide position, to move the movable member to the initial position.
8 . The door mechanism according to claim 7 , wherein the movable member comprises a cover plate and a slide panel;
the cover plate is configured to be movable relative to the housing in the first stroke, and slidable together with the slide panel relative to the housing in the second stroke when the cover plate moves to the press position; and when the cover plate and the slide panel slide together to the second slide position, the cover plate is movable to the initial position.
9 . The door mechanism according to claim 8 , wherein a first guide rail protruding toward the slide panel is provided on an inner surface of the housing;
when the cover plate and the slide panel slide together to the first slide position, the cover plate is slidable along the first guide rail; and when the cover plate and the slide panel slide together to the second slide position, the cover plate is detachable from the first guide rail.
10 . The door mechanism according to claim 9 , wherein a second guide rail protruding toward the slide panel is provided on the inner surface of the housing, and a protrusion distance of the second guide rail is longer than a protrusion distance of the first guide rail; and
when the cover plate and the slide panel slide together to the first slide position or the second slide position, the slide panel is slidable along the second guide rail.
11 . The door mechanism according to claim 8 , wherein the door mechanism further comprises an elastic member, and the elastic member is arranged between the cover plate and the slide panel; and when the cover plate and the slide panel slide together to the second slide position, the elastic member provides a restoring force to make the cover plate movable to the initial position.
12 . The door mechanism according to claim 8 , wherein the door mechanism further comprises a holder fixed inside the housing; and
the holder is provided with a sliding groove, and the slide panel is at least partially inserted in the sliding groove.
13 . An aerosol-generation device, configured to heat an inhalable material to generate an inhalable aerosol, and comprising:
a main body; and a cavity, arranged inside the main body, wherein the cavity is configured to accommodate an inhalable material; and the door mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the door mechanism is arranged on the main body.
14 . The door mechanism according to claim 2 , wherein the door mechanism further comprises a drive portion, and the drive portion is configured to generate a driving force that positions the movable member to the first slide position or the second slide position.
15 . The door mechanism according to claim 14 , wherein the drive portion comprises a torsion spring, the torsion spring comprises a spring body and two support legs extending from the spring body, one support leg is fixed on the movable member, and another support leg is reversely fixed on the housing; and
when the movable member slides relative to the housing, the torsion spring is deformed to generate an elastic force that positions the movable member to the first slide position or the second slide position.
16 . The door mechanism according to claim 14 , wherein the drive portion comprises a first magnetic member, a second magnetic member, and a third magnetic member, the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member are fixed on the movable member at an interval, and the third magnetic member is fixed on the housing;
when the movable member slides to the first slide position, the first magnetic member and the third magnetic member attract each other to generate an attractive force that positions the movable member to the first slide position; and when the movable member slides to the second slide position, the second magnetic member and the third magnetic member repel each other to generate a repulsive force that positions the movable member to the second slide position.
