The aerosol-generating article 1 comprises an aerosol-generating substrate 11 and an encapsulating layer 12, the encapsulating layer 12 covering at least part of the aerosol-generating substrate 11 such that the encapsulating layer 12 separates the aerosol-generating substrate 11 from the heat-generating element 31. The aerosol-generating article 1 is replaceable and may be provided as a disposable article. The area of the encapsulating layer 12 covering the aerosol-generating substrate 11 is chosen according to the particular implementation, as long as the encapsulating layer 12 is able to separate the aerosol-generating substrate 11 from the heating element 31; that is, the encapsulating layer 12 may cover an area of the aerosol-generating substrate 11 such that the aerosol-generating substrate 11 and the heat generating element 31 are not in direct contact.

The heat-generating element 31 is for heating the encapsulating layer 12, the encapsulating layer 12 conducting heat to the aerosol-generating substrate 11 within the aerosol-generating article 1 to form an aerosol, i.e. by resistively heating the aerosol-generating article 1; or the heating element 31 is an electromagnetic element, such as an electromagnetic coil, and the encapsulating layer 12 generates eddy current heat in the magnetic field of the electromagnetic element to heat the aerosol-generating substrate 11 to form an aerosol, i.e. to heat the aerosol-generating article 1 electromagnetically. When the aerosol-generating article 1 is heated electromagnetically, the encapsulating layer 12 is a heat-generating layer that generates eddy current self-heating in the magnetic field of the heat-generating element 31 (electromagnetic member) and heats the aerosol-generating substrate 11 to form aerosol.

When the aerosol-generating article 1 is heated electromagnetically, the encapsulating layer 12 is made of a metal capable of generating heat in a magnetic field, such as aluminium foil.

By arranging the aerosol-generating article 1 to comprise the aerosol-generating substrate 11 and the encapsulating layer 12, and the encapsulating layer 12 covers at least part of the aerosol-generating substrate 11, the encapsulating layer 12 separates the aerosol-generating substrate 11 from the heating element 31, the direct contact between the heating element 31 and the aerosol-generating substrate 11 is avoided, and the adhesion of aerosol residues on the heating element 31 when the heating element 31 heats the aerosol-generating substrate 11 to generate aerosol is also avoided, so that the problem that the aerosol residues are adhered on the heating element 31 and are difficult to clean is avoided, even if the heating element 31 is repeatedly used, the taste of the aerosol is not affected, and the use experience of a user is improved. And at least part of the aerosol-generating substrate 11 is covered by the encapsulating layer 12, and after the aerosol-generating substrate 11 has been consumed, the encapsulating layer 12 is discarded together with the aerosol-generating substrate 11 and replaced with a new aerosol-generating article 1, so that the aerosol-generating substrate 11 can be replaced more conveniently, quickly and cleanly.

In particular embodiments, the aerosol-generating substrate 11 may be in the form of a powder, a filament, or may be agglomerated to form a block. The aerosol generating substrate 11 is powder or filament, and because the powder or filament can not be shaped, the packaging layer 12 is laid in a mould by means of the mould and is filled with the aerosol generating substrate 11, and then the aerosol generating product 1 with a preset shape is obtained; the aerosol-generating substrate 11 is in the form of a block, which facilitates assembly of the aerosol-generating substrate 11 with the encapsulating layer 12 to form the aerosol-generating article 1; and the aerosol-generating substrate 11 may be designed into a cylindrical, laminar or other shape as required to give the desired shape of the aerosol-generating article 1.

To ensure a high heating efficiency, the encapsulating layer 12 is arranged in abutment with the side of the aerosol-generating substrate 11.

When the aerosol-generating article 1 is heated electromagnetically, the heating element 31 is an electromagnetic member, and the encapsulating layer 12 is a heating layer that generates heat by generating eddy current in the magnetic field of the electromagnetic member to heat the aerosol-generating substrate 11 to form aerosol. The heat generating layer is enclosed into a columnar structure and forms a non-closed loop, and the aerosol generating substrate 11 is arranged in the columnar structure.

In the first embodiment of the atomizing main body 3, the aerosol-generating article 1 and the heat-generating element 31 are disposed in the groove 321 by forming the groove 321 as the mounting portion 320 on the mount 32, i.e., the mounting portion 320 forms the groove 321.

A heater element 31 is disposed in the recess 321, the heater element 31 generating heat to heat the aerosol-generating article 1 under energized conditions. In particular, the heating element 31 generates heat under energized conditions to heat the encapsulating layer 12, the encapsulating layer 12 conducting heat to the aerosol generating substrate 11 to form an aerosol; i.e. by resistively heating the aerosol-generating article 1. In order to improve the heating efficiency, the heating element 31 is provided in close contact with the encapsulating layer 12 of the aerosol-generating article 1. It will be appreciated that one or more heating elements 31 may be provided within the mounting portion 320 to enable uniform heating of the aerosol-generating article 1, as may be desired. The following description will be made with one heating element 31 provided in the mounting portion 320.

In an embodiment, a plurality of aerosol-generating articles 1 are provided, the mount 32 is formed with a plurality of mounts 320, and each mount 320 has a heating element 31 and an aerosol-generating article 1 disposed therein. That is, the mounting seat 32 is provided with a plurality of recesses 321, one recess 321 being one mounting portion 320, one aerosol-generating article 1 being provided in one recess 321; the atomizing main body 3 includes a plurality of heating elements 31, and one heating element 31 is disposed corresponding to one mounting portion 320, that is, one heating element 31 is disposed in one recess 321. The pins of the heating element 31 are electrically connected to the power source 34 outside the receiving cavity. The pins of the heating element 31 are connected to the power source 34 by bypassing the receiving cavities or the pins of the heating element 31 are connected to the power source 34 through the bottom wall of the recess 321.

In order to heat the aerosol-generating article 1 uniformly, the projection of the aerosol-generating article 1 onto the heat-generating element 31 covers at least a portion of the heat-generating element 31, i.e. the area of the surface of the heat-generating element 31 in contact with the aerosol-generating article 1 is greater than the area of the surface of the heat-generating element 31, so that the heat-generating element 31 heats the entire cross-section of the aerosol-generating article 1 uniformly, which is advantageous for maintaining a consistent mouthfeel.

Since the aerosol-generating article 1 and the heating element 31 are arranged in the recess 321 formed by the mounting cup 32, i.e. heating of the aerosol-generating article 1 by the heating element 31 is done in the recess 321, the mounting cup 32 is made of a low thermal conductivity and high temperature resistant material, e.g. ceramic, foam, etc. in order to improve the heating efficiency and reduce heat loss. In this embodiment, the mounting base 32 is made of low thermal conductivity high temperature resistant ceramic. In order to avoid the mutual influence between the adjacent grooves 321, a third blocking hole 323 is provided between the adjacent grooves 321 on the mount 32, further reducing the heat loss.

To further improve the heating efficiency, there is a gap between the sides of the aerosol-generating article 1 and the sides of the recess 321 to achieve air insulation; the heating element 31 is at least partially spaced from the inner wall of the recess 321 to provide air insulation between the heating element 31 and the inner wall of the recess 321, such that a majority of the heat generated by the heating element 31 heating the aerosol-generating article 1 is absorbed by the aerosol-generating article 1 and a minority of the heat is conducted to the mounting seat 32, thereby reducing heat loss.

In one embodiment, the heating element 31 comprises a heating element 311 and a mounting lug 312 fixedly connected with the heating element 311, the heating element 311 is connected with the side surface of the groove 321 through the mounting lug 312, i.e. the heating element 311 is fixed in the groove 321 through the mounting lug 312; and the heating body 311 and the bottom surface of the groove 321 are arranged at intervals to realize air heat insulation. It is understood that the smaller the contact area between the mounting lug 312 and the side surface of the recess 321 is, the more advantageous the heat loss is, and it is sufficient that the mounting lug 312 can fix the heat-generating body 311 to the side surface of the recess 321. Among the plurality of grooves 321, the heating element 31 is fixed to the grooves 321 in the same manner.

In another embodiment, a protrusion 3211 is disposed on a bottom surface of the groove 321, the heating element 31 is disposed above the protrusion 3211, the protrusion 3211 contacts a portion of the heating element 31, and at least a portion of the heating element 31 and a side surface of the groove 321 are spaced apart from each other, so as to achieve air insulation. It is understood that the smaller the contact area between the projection 3211 and the heat generating element 31 is, the more advantageous the heat loss is, and the projection 3211 can fix the heat generating element 31 in the groove 321. Among the plurality of grooves 321, the heating element 31 is fixed to the grooves 321 in the same manner.

That is, the heat generating body 311 is fixed in the groove 321 by the mounting lug 312 and the projection 3211. Among the plurality of grooves 321, the heating element 31 is fixed to the grooves 321 in the same manner.

By providing the heater element 31 to be able to warm to 500 ℃ within 3s, the heater element 31 is able to release the aerosol by rapidly bringing the aerosol-generating substrate 11 in the aerosol-generating article 1 to its vaporisation temperature. Further, the high thermal conductivity of the encapsulating layer 12 in the aerosol-generating article 1, the thin thickness of the aerosol-generating substrate 11 and the high thermal conductivity, the low thermal conductivity and high temperature resistance of the mounting 32, and the thermal insulation of the mounting 32 from the air between the heating element 31 and the aerosol-generating article 1 are utilized to improve the overall thermal efficiency, thereby enabling the aerosol-generating substrate 11 in the aerosol-generating article 1 to release aerosol rapidly.

The heating element 31 includes a heating element 311 and a mounting lug 312. The heating body 311 includes a heat conductive base 319, a heating circuit layer 315, and an electrode 317; that is, the heat generating element 31 includes a heat conductive base layer 319, a heat generating circuit layer 315, and an electrode 317. The thermally conductive base layer 319 comprises opposing first and second surfaces, the second surface of the thermally conductive base layer 319 being for contact with the aerosol-generating article 1; the heat emitting circuit layer 315 is disposed on the first surface of the heat conductive base layer 319.

The electrode 317 is disposed on a surface of the heat generating circuit layer 315 on a side away from the heat conductive base layer 319, and is electrically connected to the heat generating circuit layer 315.

The heating element 31 further includes a pin 317a, one end of the pin 317a is connected to the electrode 317, and the other end is used for connecting to the power source 34.

Currently, heat generating elements are mostly inserted into the aerosol-generating substrate and a small portion is exposed outside the aerosol-generating substrate. The part of the heating element inserted into the aerosol-generating substrate forms a high temperature zone to heat the aerosol-generating substrate; the part exposed outside the aerosol generating substrate forms a low-temperature region so as to be convenient for arranging an assembly fulcrum of the lead; and a lead area is arranged in the low-temperature area to arrange leads so as to realize the electric connection of the heating element and the controller. The heating element adopts the layout of a high-temperature area, a low-temperature area and a lead area, and the low-temperature area is used as an assembly fulcrum, so that the temperature uniformity is poor; the entire surface of the heating element 31 of the present application is a high temperature region, the temperature is uniform, and the electrode 317 is assembled in the high temperature region.

The heating element 311 of the heating element 31 in the present application has a sheet-like structure. By providing the heating element 311 as a sheet structure, the heating element 31 is in large-area contact with the aerosol-generating product 1, uniform heating of the aerosol-generating product 1 is achieved, and consistency of taste is achieved. The heating circuit layer 315 heats and transfers heat to the heat conducting base layer 319, and in order to improve the heat utilization rate of the heating circuit layer 315, the thickness of the heat conducting base layer 319 is 0.1mm to 1.0 mm; optionally, the thickness of the heat conductive base layer 319 is 0.2 mm. The shape of the heat conductive base layer 319 may be made circular, square, etc. as required.

The thermally conductive base layer 319 may be made of a thermally conductive ceramic material. The heat generating element 31 further includes a protective layer 316, and the protective layer 316 is disposed on a surface of the heat generating circuit layer 315 on a side away from the heat conductive base layer 319 (as shown in fig. 14 a). The shape of the protection layer 316 is designed according to the shape of the heat conductive base layer 319, and the material of the protection layer 316 has high hardness and high temperature resistance, so as to protect the heating circuit layer 315 and improve the high temperature stability of the heating circuit layer 315. Optionally, the material of the protection layer 316 is ceramic glaze.

The heat conductive base layer 319 may also be made of a metal material. The heat generating element 31 further includes an insulating layer 314 and a protective layer 316, the insulating layer 314 is disposed between the heat conductive base layer 319 and the heat generating circuit layer 315, and the protective layer 316 is disposed on a surface of the heat generating circuit layer 315 on a side away from the insulating layer 314, that is, the protective layer 316 is disposed on a surface of the heat generating circuit layer 315 on a side away from the heat conductive base layer 319 (as shown in fig. 14 b). Specifically, the heat conducting base layer 319 is made of a metal material with a high heat conductivity coefficient, such as stainless steel, copper alloy, aluminum alloy, etc.; the material has the advantages of good strength and toughness, difficult fragmentation, good reliability and good uniformity of the temperature field of the heat-conducting base layer 319 under the condition of rapid temperature rise. Optionally, the material of the heat conducting base layer 319 is 430 stainless steel. The shapes of the insulating layer 314 and the protective layer 316 are designed according to the shape of the heat conductive base layer 319. The material of the protection layer 316 has high hardness and high temperature resistance to protect the heating circuit layer 315 and improve the high temperature stability of the heating circuit layer 315. Optionally, the material of the protection layer 316 is ceramic glaze.

Because the heating element 311 is attached to the aerosol-generating article 1, only one surface of the heating element 311 contacts the aerosol-generating article 1, that is, only the second surface of the heat-conductive base layer 319 contacts the aerosol-generating article 1, and it is not necessary to provide the insulating layer 314 on both the first surface and the second surface of the heat-conductive base layer 319, and further it is not necessary to provide the double-sided protective layer 316, which simplifies the process flow.

To further increase the contact area of the heat generating element 31 with the aerosol-generating article 1, the second surface of the heat-conductive base layer 319 is provided as an arc structure, and the surface of the corresponding aerosol-generating article 1 in contact with the second surface of the heat-conductive base layer 319 is an arc, i.e. the surface of the aerosol-generating article 1 in contact with the heat generating element 31 is an arc; and the direction and extent of curvature of the surface of the aerosol-generating article 1 in contact with the heat-generating element 31 is arranged in co-operation with the direction and extent of curvature of the thermally conductive base layer 319.

Further, the heating circuit layer 315 heats and transfers heat to the heat conductive base layer 319, in order to achieve uniform temperature of the entire surface of the heat conductive base layer 319, the first surface of the heat conductive base layer 319 is also provided with an arc surface, and the bending direction and the bending degree of the first surface are the same as those of the second surface; that is, the first surface of the heat conductive base layer 319 is provided as a curved structure corresponding to the second surface. In one embodiment, the protrusion direction of the first surface and the second surface is a direction away from the electrode 317. In another embodiment, the protrusion direction of the first surface and the second surface is a direction approaching the electrode 317.

It is understood that, when the thermal conductive base layer 319 is made of a metal material and the first surface and the second surface of the thermal conductive base layer 319 are both of an arc-shaped structure, in order to achieve temperature uniformity of the entire surface of the thermal conductive base layer 319, the cross-section of the insulating layer 314 has an arc shape having the same bending direction and bending degree as those of the second surface of the thermal conductive base layer 319. The insulating layer 314 has excellent stability and insulating properties at high temperatures.

The mounting ears 312 are disposed on the heat conductive base layer 319, and specifically, the periphery of the heat conductive base layer 319 is provided with a plurality of spaced mounting ears 312, and the mounting ears 312 are used for fixing the heat generating element 31. The ratio of the contact length of the mounting ears 312 with the sides of the thermally conductive base layer 319 to the perimeter of the sides thereof is less than 1: 12. The smaller the contact area between the mounting lug 312 and the heat conductive base layer 319, the less the heat quantity of the heating element 311 conducted to other components through the mounting lug 312, which is advantageous for reducing the heat loss of the heating element 31, and the mounting lug 312 may be sized to fix the heating element 311.

It is understood that the mounting ears 312 may be formed by extending outwardly from the perimeter of the thermally conductive base layer 319. Optionally, the thickness of the mounting lug 312 is smaller than that of the heat conducting base layer 319, so that the heat conducted from the heating element 311 to other components through the mounting lug 312 can be reduced, and the heat loss of the heating element 31 can be reduced. The heating element 31 is mounted in the groove 321 through the mounting lug 312, and an air gap is formed between the heat conducting base layer 319 and the side wall of the groove 321, so that the heat is insulated by air, and the energy utilization rate of the heating element 31 is improved.

The heat generating circuit layer 315 in the heat generating element 31 has TCR characteristics, and the heat generating circuit layer 315 is electrically connected to the controller 33 through the electrodes 317. The heating circuit layer 315 can be warmed up to 500 ℃ within 3 seconds. The entire heating circuit layer 315 is a high temperature region; the electrode 317 provided on the heating line layer 315 is assembled in the high temperature region.

Specifically, two ends of the second segment 3152 are connected to two ends of one of the first notches 3154 of the first segment 3151, respectively, and two ends of the third segment 3153 are connected to two ends of the other first notch 3154 of the first segment 3151, respectively. The number of electrodes 317 is two, one electrode 317 connecting the second segment 3152 and the other electrode 317 connecting the third segment 3153.

Illustratively, the thermally conductive base layer 319 is circular in cross-section; the first segment 3151 of the heating circuit layer is arranged adjacent to the edge of the insulating layer 314 to form a circular ring shape and has two oppositely arranged first gaps 3154; the second segment 3152 and the third segment 3153 are arranged in a circular ring formed by the first segment 3151 in an enclosing manner, the second segment 3152 and the third segment 3153 are respectively triangular, a second notch 3155 is formed at the vertex angle, and the second segment 3152 and the third segment 3153 are symmetrically arranged in a triangular manner; two ends of the second notch 3155 of the second segment 3152 are respectively and correspondingly connected to two ends of one of the first notches 3154 of the first segment 3151, and two ends of the second notch 3155 of the third segment 3153 are respectively and correspondingly connected to two ends of the other first notch 3154 of the first segment 3151.

In the first embodiment of the atomising host 3, the controller 33 controls the operation of the heating element 31 to effect heating of the aerosol-generating article 1 in the mount 320 to which the heating element 31 corresponds; specifically, the controller 33 may control the plurality of heating elements 31 to operate simultaneously, or may control the plurality of heating elements 31 to operate sequentially, specifically, according to the requirement. When the controller 33 controls the plurality of heating elements 31 to operate sequentially, sequential heating of the aerosol-generating articles 1 in the plurality of mounting portions 320 is achieved; that is, after the controller 33 controls one heater element 31 to heat one aerosol-generating article 1, it controls the next heater element 31 to heat the next aerosol-generating article 1. The controller 33 controls the total on-time of each heating element 31 to be a first predetermined period of time, the first predetermined period of time being the time at which the aerosol-generating substrate 11 in the aerosol-generating article 1 has been consumed.

The total length of time that the plurality of aerosol-generating articles 1 are heated is the same as the total length of time that a conventional heat-not-burn product (HNB) is heated, and the total number of orifices through which each of the plurality of aerosol-generating articles 1 can draw aerosol when heated is the same as the number of orifices through which a conventional heat-not-burn product (HNB) can draw aerosol when heated. By replacing the traditional heating non-burning product (HNB) with a plurality of aerosol generating products 1, the thickness of the aerosol generating substrate 11 in the aerosol generating products 1 is set to be 0.5mm-3mm, the volume form of the aerosol generating substrate is reduced, and the aerosol generating products 1 are sequentially heated, so that the aerosol generating substrate 11 is prevented from being locally heated for a long time, the scorched smell is prevented from affecting the taste, and the consistency of the taste is improved.

In one embodiment, the controller 33 controls the next heating element 31 to start to operate in advance before the total operation time of one heating element 31 reaches the first preset time period. Specifically, the controller 33 controls the next heating element 31 to start operating when the total operating time of one heating element 31 reaches a second preset time, and the second preset time is shorter than the first preset time. The difference between the second preset time length and the first preset time length is 5-15 seconds; optionally, the difference between the second preset time length and the first preset time length is 10 seconds.

The total working time of one heating element 31 is controlled by the controller 33 to reach the second preset time, the next heating element 31 is controlled to start working, so that the next aerosol generating product 1 is preheated in advance when one aerosol generating product 1 is heated to enter the tail sound, the releasing amount of the aerosol is stable, the releasing amount of the aerosol is prevented from being reduced suddenly, and the use experience of a user is improved.

In one embodiment, the controller 33 detects whether the heating process of the heating element 31 is interrupted, and controls the next heating element 31 to start operating when the controller 33 detects that the heating process of the heating element 31 is interrupted and when the total operating time of the heating element 31 in which the interruption has occurred reaches a third preset time. Because the heating element 31 does not reach the first preset duration when working, the aerosol-generating article 1 is heated by the residual heat even after the heating is interrupted, a small amount of aerosol-generating substrate is consumed, and the third preset duration is shorter than the second preset duration in order to avoid dry burning of the heating element 31; the difference between the third preset time length and the second preset time length is 1-5 seconds. That is, when controlling the plurality of heating elements 31 to start operating, the controller 33 first detects whether any of the heating elements 31 is interrupted during heating, and if so, first operates the interrupted heating element 31 first, that is, first heats an unconsumed aerosol-generating article 1, and then causes the next heating element 31 to preheat the next aerosol-generating article 1 when the total heating duration of the interrupted heating element 31 reaches a third preset time.

Referring to figure 17, figure 17 is a schematic representation of the heating time versus temperature relationship for an aerosol-generating article according to the present application.

The controller 33 controls the continuous working time of the first heating element 31 to be a first preset time; the first preset duration of the first heating element 31 comprises: a first period of time, a second period of time and a third period of time, the controller 33 controlling the first heat-generating element 31 to raise the temperature of the aerosol-generating substrate 11 in the aerosol-generating article 1 from the first temperature to the second temperature for the first period of time, to lower the temperature of the aerosol-generating substrate 11 in the aerosol-generating article 1 from the second temperature to the third temperature for the second period of time, to maintain the third temperature of the aerosol-generating substrate 11 in the aerosol-generating article 1 for the third period of time, and to stop heating at the end of the third period of time.

The first predetermined period of time of the first heat-generating element 31 further comprises a fourth period of time, the fourth period of time being between the first period of time and the second period of time, during which the second temperature of the aerosol-generating substrate 11 in the aerosol-generating article 1 is maintained.

The first period of time is 5s-7s, the second period of time is 3s-5s, the third period of time is 22s-25s, and the fourth period of time is 3s-4 s. The first temperature is 20-30 ℃, the second temperature is 300-350 ℃, and the third temperature is 220-280 ℃; optionally, the first temperature is 25 ℃, the second temperature is 330 ℃ and the third temperature is 250 ℃. The third temperature is the temperature at which the aerosol-generating substrate 11 is capable of releasing an aerosol.

In one embodiment, the controller 33 controls the continuous operation time of the second heating element 31, the third heating element 31 and the fourth heating element 31 except the first heating element 31 to be a first preset time period; the first preset time period of the second, third and

fourth heating elements

31, 31 except the first heating element 31 includes a fifth time period and a sixth time period; the controller 33 controls the heat-generating element 31 to raise the aerosol-generating substrate 11 in the aerosol-generating article 1 from the first temperature to the third temperature for a fifth period, to maintain the aerosol-generating substrate 11 in the aerosol-generating article 1 at the third temperature for a sixth period, and to stop heating at the end of the sixth period. The first period of time is 2s-5s and the second period of time is 25s-28 s.

Heating the aerosol-generating substrate 11 in the first aerosol-generating article 1 by the first heat-generating element 31 to a second temperature higher than the temperature at which it releases aerosol (the third temperature) over a first period of time is advantageous in enabling the aerosol-generating substrate 11 to release aerosol quickly, so that when a user draws on the aerosol-generating device, the aerosol is drawn in as short a time as possible, and the user experience is improved. It will be appreciated that since the next heater element 31 is started to preheat the next aerosol-generating article 1 when the end of heating of one heater element 31 is reached, the second, third and

fourth heater elements

31, 31 other than the first heater element 31 do not require the aerosol-generating substrate 11 in their respective second, third and fourth aerosol-generating

articles

1, 1 to be heated to the second temperature and then to the third temperature, but to be heated directly to the third temperature. Since the aerosol-generating substrate 11 in the aerosol-generating article 1 to which the heater element 31 is associated is largely consumed as the heater element 31 heats up into the end-of-run, the consistency of the aerosol delivery is maintained by starting to heat the next aerosol-generating article 1 by the next heater element 31 to deliver aerosol when the heater element 31 reaches the end-of-run to deliver aerosol.

It will be appreciated that after the controller 33 has controlled one heating element 31 to operate for a second predetermined period of time, the next heating element 31 is controlled to operate, the next heating element 31 at this point corresponding to an unheated aerosol-generating article 1, i.e. after the controller 33 has detected that the aerosol-generating substrate 11 in the aerosol-generating article 1 has been heated for the first predetermined period of time, the controller 33 no longer controls its corresponding heating element 31 to operate, thereby avoiding dry-burning of the heating element 31 and wasting electrical energy. The number of the mounting portions 320, the heating elements 31, and the aerosol-generating products 1 corresponds to one another, and is designed as necessary.

That is, the varying magnetic field generated by the electromagnetic coil generates eddy currents when penetrating the metal heat generating layer to cause the metal heat generating layer to generate heat and heat the aerosol-generating substrate 11. The planar coiling of the electromagnetic coil forms a disc structure, namely, after one end of the electromagnetic coil is fixed, the other end of the electromagnetic coil is wound along the outer side of the electromagnetic coil.

The heating element 31 comprises a resistance wire which heats the packaging layer 12, so that the packaging layer 12 can bake the aerosol generating substrate 11 to generate aerosol; that is, the heating element 31 heats the encapsulating layer 12 to cause the encapsulating layer 12 to bake the aerosol-generating substrate 11 to generate the aerosol. Or the heating element 31 comprises an electromagnetic coil, the electromagnetic coil and the packaging layer 12 (the packaging layer 12 is a heating layer) generate heat under the action of the magnetic field of the electromagnetic coil, and the packaging layer 12 heats the aerosol generating substrate 11 to form aerosol.
