The atomizing body 3 includes a heating element 31 installed at an end of the atomizing body 3 adjacent to the gas communication module 2 . The aerosol-generating product 1 is installed at one end of the atomizing body 3 close to the gas communication module 2 , that is, installed between the gas communication module 2 and the atomizing body 3 and in contact with the heating element 31 . The aerosol generating product 1 is fixed by connecting and fixing the gas communication module 2 and the atomizing body 3.

Specifically, the gas communication module 2 and the atomization main body 3 are fixedly connected by magnetic attraction. That is, either a magnetic adsorption member is installed on each of the gas communication module 2 and the atomization main body 3 to achieve connection by magnetic adsorption, or a magnet is installed on one of the gas communication module 2 and the atomization main body 3, and the other By installing a metal member on the holder, connection is achieved through magnetic adsorption.

Although the manner of connection between the gas communication module 2 and the atomization main body 3 is designed as necessary, the manner of connection of the present invention is not limited thereto.

Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is an example of a diagram showing the configuration of a first embodiment of the aerosol generating product according to the present invention.

The aerosol-generating product 1 includes an aerosol-generating base material 11 and a sealing layer 12 , and the sealing layer 12 covers at least a portion of the aerosol-generating base material 11 to partition the aerosol-generating base material 11 and the heating element 31 . The aerosol generating product 1 is replaceable and may be a disposable item. The area covered by the sealing layer 12 over the aerosol-generating substrate 11 is selected depending on the specific implementation, but the sealing layer 12 may partition the aerosol-generating substrate 11 and the heating element 31. In other words, the area covering the aerosol generation base material 11 with the sealing layer 12 is sufficient as long as the aerosol generation base material 11 and the heating element 31 cannot be brought into direct contact.

The heating element 31 is used to heat the sealing layer 12. The sealing layer 12 transfers heat to the aerosol-generating substrate 11 within the aerosol-generating product 1 to form an aerosol, that is, resistance-heats the aerosol-generating product 1 . Alternatively, the heating element 31 is an electromagnetic member, for example, an electromagnetic coil, and the sealing layer 12 causes eddy current heating to occur in the magnetic field of the electromagnetic member to heat the aerosol-generating substrate 11 and form an aerosol, that is, The aerosol-generating product 1 is electromagnetically heated. When electromagnetically heating the aerosol-generating product 1, the sealing layer 12 is a heat-generating layer, and the heat-generating layer generates eddy current self-heating in the magnetic field of the heating element 31 (electromagnetic member), heats the aerosol-generating base material 11, and generates an aerosol. form.

When resistively heating the aerosol-generating product 1, the sealing layer 12 has the property of uniform heat transfer and may be made of glass, ceramics, metal, etc., as long as the requirements are met. That is, the sealing layer 12 may be a metal layer, a ceramic layer, or a glass layer. Furthermore, according to the uniform heat transfer property of the sealing layer 12, the aerosol-generating substrate 11 can be heated uniformly, which increases the mass uniformity of the aerosol, that is, improves the consistency of smoking taste. . When electromagnetically heating the aerosol-generating product 1, the sealing layer 12 is made of a metal capable of generating heat in a magnetic field, for example aluminum foil.

The aerosol-generating product 1 is installed to include the aerosol-generating base material 11 and the sealing layer 12, and the sealing layer 12 covers at least a portion of the aerosol-generating base material 11, so that the sealing layer 12 allows the aerosol-generating base material to be 11 and the heating element 31 to avoid direct contact between the heating element 31 and the aerosol-generating base material 11. In addition, when heating the aerosol-generating base material 11 with the heating element 31 to generate aerosol, aerosol residues are prevented. It avoids sticking to the heating element 31, and also avoids the problem of aerosol residue sticking to the heating element 31 and making it difficult to clean, that is, even if the heating element 31 is repeatedly used, it does not affect the smoking taste of the aerosol. Improve user experience without giving up. Further, at least a part of the aerosol-generating base material 11 is covered with the sealing layer 12, and after the aerosol-generating base material 11 is consumed, the sealing layer 12 is discarded together with the aerosol-generating base material 11 and used as a new aerosol-generating product 1. By replacing it, the aerosol generation substrate 11 can be replaced more simply, quickly, and cleanly.

When carried out specifically, the aerosol-generating base material 11 may be in the form of a powder, a thread, or a lump formed by aggregation. When the aerosol-generating base material 11 is in the form of powder or filament, a mold is required because the powder or filament cannot be molded, and the sealing layer 12 is laid in the mold and filled with the aerosol-generating base material 11. In this way, an aerosol-generating product 1 having a predetermined shape is obtained.

As shown in FIG. 2, both opposing ends of the hollow tubular body are open ends. The heat generating layer covers the side surface of the aerosol generating substrate 11. Note that the notch extends from one end of the hollow tubular body to the other end along the axial direction of the hollow tubular body.

A gap is present to form the heat generating layer into a non-closed loop. Note that the cross-sectional shape of the aerosol-generating substrate 11 may be circular, triangular, or the like. When the cross section of the aerosol generating substrate 11 is circular, the diameter of the aerosol generating substrate 11 is 3.0 mm to 20 mm. Note that the heat generating layer is made of aluminum foil or copper foil, and has a thickness of 0.05 mm to 0.3 mm.

When resistively heating the aerosol-generating product 1, the sealing layer 12 in the configuration of FIG. 2 may be formed into a closed loop or a non-closed loop, depending on the design.

Specifically, the controller 33 may operate the plurality of heat generating elements 31 simultaneously or may operate the plurality of heat generating elements 31 sequentially, but is designed as necessary. The controller 33 sequentially operates the plurality of heating elements 31 to sequentially heat the aerosol-generating products 1 in the plurality of attachment parts 320. That is, the controller 33 controls one heating element 31 to heat one aerosol-generating product 1, and then controls the next heating element 31 to heat the next aerosol-generating product 1. The total operating time during which the controller 33 controls each heating element 31 is defined as a first predetermined time length, and the first predetermined time length is the time during which the aerosol generation base material 11 in the aerosol generation product 1 is consumed.

The total length of time for heating the plurality of aerosol-generating products 1 is the same as the total length of time for heating the conventional non-combustion heating product (HNB), and the total length of time for heating the plurality of aerosol-generating products 1 is the same as the total length of time for heating the plurality of aerosol-generating products 1. The number of times is the same as the total number of times the aerosol is drawn after heating a conventional non-combustion heated product (HNB). The conventional non-combustion heating product (HNB) is replaced with a plurality of aerosol generation products 1, and the thickness of the aerosol generation base material 11 in the aerosol generation product 1 is set to 0.5 mm to 3 mm, and the volumetric form of the aerosol generation base material is changed. By sequentially heating the plurality of aerosol-generating products 1, it is possible to avoid heating a part of the aerosol-generating base material 11 for a long time, which would further produce a burnt taste and affect the smoking taste. Avoid this and improve the consistency of smoking taste.

In one embodiment, the controller 33 controls the operation of the next heating element 31 to start early before the total operating time of one heating element 31 reaches the first predetermined time. Specifically, when the total operating time of one heat generating element 31 reaches a second predetermined time, the controller 33 starts and controls the operation of the next heat generating element 31, and the second predetermined time is longer than the first predetermined time. It's also short. The difference between the second predetermined time and the first predetermined time is 5 seconds to 15 seconds, preferably 10 seconds.

When the total operating time for controlling one heating element 31 reaches the second predetermined time, the controller 33 starts and controls the operation of the next heating element 31, so that immediately before heating of one aerosol generating product 1 ends, It is advantageous to preheat the next aerosol generating product 1 at an early stage to relatively stabilize the amount of aerosol emitted, avoid a sudden decrease in the amount of aerosol emitted, and improve the user experience.

In one embodiment, the controller 33 detects whether the heating process of the heating element 31 is interrupted, and after detecting that the heating process of the heating element 31 is interrupted, the total operating time of the interrupted heating element 31 is When the third predetermined time is reached, the next operation of the heating element 31 is controlled to start. If the operation of the heating element 31 has not reached the first predetermined time, even if the heating is interrupted, the residual heat will heat the aerosol-generating product 1, consuming a small amount of the aerosol-generating base material 11, and the heating element 31 will be heated. In order to avoid dry heating, the third predetermined time is set shorter than the second predetermined time. The difference between the third predetermined time and the second predetermined time is 1 second to 5 seconds. That is, when controlling the start of the operation of a plurality of heating elements 31, the controller 33 first detects whether or not there is a heating element 31 whose heating process has been interrupted, and if positive, detects whether or not there is a heating element 31 whose heating process has been interrupted. In other words, the unconsumed aerosol generating product 1 is heated first, and when the total heating time of the interrupted heating element 31 reaches the third predetermined time, the next heating element 31 is heated. Preheat the aerosol generating product 1.

Referring to FIG. 17, FIG. 17 is an example of a diagram showing the relationship between heating time and temperature of the aerosol generating product according to the present invention.

The continuous operating time during which the controller 33 controls the first heating element 31 is a first predetermined time. The first predetermined time period of the first heating element 31 includes a first period, a second period, and a third period, and the controller 33 controls the first heating element 31 so that the aerosol generating product 1 is heated within the first period. The temperature of the aerosol-generating base material 11 in the aerosol-generating product 1 is raised from the first temperature to the second temperature, and the temperature of the aerosol-generating base material 11 in the aerosol-generating product 1 is lowered from the second temperature to the third temperature within the second period. The aerosol-generating base material 11 in the aerosol-generating product 1 is maintained at the third temperature within the period, and heating is stopped when the third period ends.

The first predetermined time length of the first heating element 31 further includes a fourth period between the first period and the second period, and within the fourth period, the aerosol generation base material 11 in the aerosol generation product 1 is 2 Maintain temperature.

The first period is 5 seconds to 7 seconds, the second period is 3 seconds to 5 seconds, the third period is 22 seconds to 25 seconds, and the fourth period is 3 seconds to 4 seconds. The first temperature is 20°C to 30°C, the second temperature is 300°C to 350°C, and the third temperature is 220°C to 280°C, preferably, the first temperature is 25°C, the second temperature is 330°C, and the third temperature is 220°C to 280°C. 3 temperature is 250°C. The third temperature is a temperature at which the aerosol can be released from the aerosol generation base material 11.

In one embodiment, the continuous operating time during which the controller 33 controls the second heating element 31, the third heating element 31, and the fourth heating element 31 other than the first heating element 31 is a first predetermined time. The first predetermined time period of the second heating element 31, the third heating element 31, and the fourth heating element 31 other than the first heating element 31 includes a fifth period and a sixth period. The controller 33 controls the heating element 31 to raise the temperature of the aerosol-generating base material 11 in the aerosol-generating product 1 from the first temperature to the third temperature within the fifth period, and increases the temperature of the aerosol-generating base material 11 in the aerosol-generating product 1 within the sixth period. The aerosol generating substrate 11 is maintained at the third temperature, and heating is stopped when the sixth period ends. The first period is 2 seconds to 5 seconds, and the second period is 25 seconds to 28 seconds.

The first heating element 31 generates aerosol by heating the aerosol generation base material 11 in the first aerosol generation product 1 to a second temperature higher than the temperature at which the aerosol is released (third temperature) within the first period. It is advantageous to rapidly release the aerosol from the generation substrate 11, and when the user inhales the aerosol generation device, the aerosol can be aspirated within as short a time as possible, improving the user experience. In addition, in order to preheat the next aerosol generating product 1 with the next heating element 31 immediately before the heating of one heating element 31 ends, the second heating element 31 and the third heating element 31 other than the first heating element 31 are , for the fourth heating element 31, the aerosol-generating substrate 11 in the corresponding second aerosol-generating product 1, third aerosol-generating product 1, and fourth aerosol-generating product 1 is first heated to the second temperature, and then It is only necessary to raise the temperature to the third temperature without lowering the temperature to the third temperature. Immediately before heating of the heating element 31 ends, most of the aerosol generation base material 11 in the corresponding aerosol generation product 1 is consumed, so the concentration of the emitted aerosol decreases, and the concentration of the emitted aerosol decreases. Just before the heating of one heating element 31 ends, the next heating element 31 heats the next aerosol-generating product 1 to release the aerosol to ensure the consistency of the smoking taste. guaranteed.

Note that, after controlling the operation of one heating element 31 for a second predetermined time length, the controller 33 controls the start of the operation of the next heating element 31, and at this time, the next heating element 31 generates an unheated aerosol. Corresponding to the product 1, that is, after the controller 33 detects that the aerosol generation base material 11 in the aerosol generation product 1 has been heated for the first predetermined time, the controller 33 stops controlling the operation of the corresponding heating element 31, and generates no heat.
