- FIG. 3 is a view illustrating an example of a heater assembly and an aerosol generating article inserted into the heater assembly according to an embodiment.
- a heater assembly 101 may include the susceptor 110, the accommodation space 120, and the coil 130.
- the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and other general-purpose elements may be further included in the heater assembly 101.
- At least a part of the aerosol generating article 200 may be accommodated in the accommodation space 120.
- the susceptor 110 may be inserted into the aerosol generating article 200 when the aerosol generating article 200 is accommodated in the accommodation space 120.
- the susceptor 110 may have a structure extending in the longitudinal direction to be inserted into the aerosol generating article 200.
- the susceptor 110 may be arranged inside the accommodation space 120 and generate heat according to an alternating magnetic field induced by the coil.
- the susceptor 110 may be placed at the center of the accommodation space 120 to be inserted into the center of the aerosol generating article 200.
- the susceptor 110 is illustrated as one piece but is not limited thereto, and the heater assembly 101 may include a plurality of susceptors 110 that extend in the longitudinal direction to be inserted into the aerosol generating article 200 and are arranged in parallel to each other.
- the distal end portion of the susceptor 110 may be placed apart from a boundary between the tobacco rod 210 and the filter rod 220 of the aerosol generating article 200 by a preset distance. In other words, the distal end portion of the susceptor 110 may be placed upstream of the a boundary between the tobacco rod 210 and the filter rod 220. Details of an arrangement of the susceptor 110 in the aerosol generating article 200 are described below.
- the coil 130 may surround at least a part of the accommodation space 120 and generate an induced magnetic field.
- the coil 130 may be wound around the accommodation space 120 along the longitudinal direction of the accommodation space 120.
- the coil 130 may be at a position corresponding to the susceptor 110.
- the coil 130 may extend in the longitudinal direction to have a length corresponding to the susceptor 110 and may be at a position corresponding to the susceptor 110.
- FIGS. 4A, 4B, and 4C are views illustrating a change of a tobacco rod around a susceptor according to the passage of time.
- the coil 130 and the susceptor 110 do not operate, and thus, the tobacco rod 410 is not yet heated and there is no change inside the tobacco rod 410.
- the susceptor 110 generates heat by the coil 130 at a second point in time when a first time elapses from the first point in time, and thus, the tobacco rod 410 may be heated by the susceptor 110.
- cut tobacco 421 arranged around the susceptor 110 may contract by heat. Accordingly, density of the cut tobacco 421 around the susceptor 110 may be reduced (i.e., porosity of the tobacco rod 410 around the susceptor 110 may be increased).
- the tobacco rod 410 is further heated by the susceptor 110 at a third point in time when a second time elapses from the second point in time.
- the heat is transferred upstream such that the cut tobacco arranged above the susceptor 110 may also contract due to the heat.
- airflow holes 431 i.e., airflow paths
- air (and the aerosol) flows smoothly may be formed from the upstream end of the tobacco rod 410 to a boundary between the tobacco rod 410 and the filter rod 220 (i.e., the downstream end of the tobacco rod 410).
- each of the airflow holes 431 allows air introduced through the tobacco rod 410 to pass through the tobacco rod 410 to be transferred to the filter rod 220.
- the airflow holes 431 may be formed apart from a surface of the susceptor.
- mainstream smoke may refer to a mixture of air and the aerosol, which may be supplied to a user through an aerosol generating article.
- mainstream smoke Given the limited cooling capacity of a first segment in the filter rod 220, if the temperature of the mainstream smoke is high, there is a high probability that an aerosol having particles smaller than a proper size is generated. In this case, there is a problem that the amount of atomization is greatly reduced.
- the mainstream smoke at a high temperature increases the amount of transfer of a tobacco material, and thus, a user is more likely to experience an excessively strong taste of tobacco.
- the susceptor 110 may be designed by considering the characteristics of the airflow holes 431, such as formation time, size, and so on.
- FIG. 5 is a view illustrating an arrangement of a susceptor in an aerosol generating article.
- a distal end of the susceptor 110 may be positioned below (i.e., upstream of) a boundary 510 between the tobacco rod 210 and the filter rod 220.
- the preset distance d between the distal end of the susceptor 110 and the boundary 510 is set to be less than 0.3 mm, a temperature reduction effect of mainstream smoke may be greatly reduced.
- the preset distance d when the preset distance d is set to be greater than 0.7 mm, it is difficult to form the airflow holes in the tobacco rod 210, and thus the desired amount of atomization may not be produced. Therefore, the preset distance d may be 0.3 mm to 0.7 mm. In order to provide more uniform taste of smoke and more consistent amount of atomization over the entire heating period, the preset distance d may be 0.4 mm to 0.6 mm. For example, the preset distance d may be 0.5 mm.
- FIG. 6 illustrates a temperature of a mainstream smoke according to an arrangement of a susceptor in a heater assembly according to an embodiment.
- FIG. 6 illustrates a first temperature 610 of the mainstream smoke measured at the filter rod 220 when the preset distance d is less than 0.3 mm and a second temperature 620 of the mainstream smoke measured at the filter rod 220 when the preset distance d is 0.5 mm.
- the total length of the time illustrated in FIG. 6 corresponds to a heating period
- graphs of the first and second temperatures 610 and 620 of FIG. 6 represent a change in temperature of the mainstream smoke with time in a heating period during which the heater assembly 101 heats one aerosol generating article 200.
- an early stage for example, a first half of the heating period including the heating start point may correspond to an "early stage of heating”
- the rest of the heating period may correspond to a "late stage of heating”.
- the first temperature 610 is higher than the second temperature 620. Because of the limited cooling capacity of the filter rod 220, the first temperature 610 may reduce the amount of atomization. In addition, the first temperature 610 increases the amount of transfer of a tobacco material, and thus, a user may experience an excessively strong taste of tobacco.
- the first temperature 610 is lower than the second temperature 620. Since the first temperature 610 is lower than an optimum temperature for generating an aerosol, the amount of atomization may be greatly reduced in the late stage of heating. In addition, a large amount of tobacco material may be consumed in the early stage of heating, and thus the taste of tobacco may be greatly reduced in the late stage of heating.
- the preset distance d is set to be less than 0.3 mm, a smoking feeling may not be consistent throughout the heating period.
- the preset distance d is set to 0.5 mm, a consistent smoking feeling may be provided throughout the heating period.
- an electric resistance wire is inside the heater to be heated by electricity. Accordingly, a temperature of a portion of the heater in which the electric resistance wire is arranged may be different from a temperature of another portion of the heater in which the electric resistance wire is not arranged.
- an electric resistance wire cannot be arranged at the distal end portion of the heater due to its limited internal space. As a result, a temperature of the distal end portion of the heater is lower than temperatures of the other portions of the heater.
- Airflow holes formed by the distal end portion of the heater are arranged at a position close to a boundary between a tobacco rod and a filter rod and formed relatively early in heating compared to airflow holes formed by the other portions of the heater. Therefore, the airflow holes formed by the distal end portion of the heater may significantly affect the amount of atomization and a taste of smoke in the early stage of heating. In the electric resistance heating-type heater, formation of the airflow holes near the distal end of the heater may be delayed in the early stage of heating due to the above-described low temperature of the distal end of the heater. In this regard, in some aerosol generating devices, the heater is arranged to pass through the boundary between the tobacco rod and the filter rod, such that the airflow holes are physically formed to extend through the boundary between the tobacco rod and the filter rod.
- the heater assembly according to the embodiment includes a heater that is uniformly heated by induction heating, and thus a temperature of a distal end portion of a susceptor is sufficiently high compared to the electric resistance heating-type heater. Therefore, even if the distal end portion of the susceptor is placed upstream of the boundary between the tobacco rod and the filter rod, the airflow holes may be formed swiftly in the early stage of heating.
- the number of airflow holes may be gradually increased throughout the entire heating period by heating of the susceptor, and thus the uniform amount of atomization and a consistent taste of smoke may be provided throughout the entire heating period compared to a case in which the airflow holes are physically formed.
- the performance of the filter rod may be reduced.
- a susceptor is placed only in the tobacco rod, and thus a structure of the filter rod is maintained without degrading the performance of the filter rod.
- FIG. 7 is a view illustrating an example of a heater assembly according to another embodiment.
- the susceptor 110 may include a cylindrical base portion 112 and a pointed portion 113 formed at one end of the base portion 112.
- the structure of the susceptor 110 shown in FIG. 7 allows airflow holes formed at a boundary between a tobacco rod and a filter rod to gradually expand, starting from a portion close to a vertex of the pointed portion 113. Therefore, the pointed portion 113 may prevent a tobacco material from being rapidly consumed and may maintain uniform transfer of the tobacco material throughout the entire heating period.
- the susceptor 110 may generate heat which is about 270°C to about 350°C.
- the susceptor 110 may generate heat below 270°C.
- a sufficient amount of tobacco material may not be transferred due to the low temperature, and thus a taste of smoke may not be satisfactory.
- the susceptor 110 may generate heat above 350°C, the airflow holes are formed too quickly, and thus the tobacco material may not be uniformly transferred throughout the entire heating period.
- aerosol particles may become smaller than a proper size due to a high temperature of mainstream smoke.
- the susceptor 110 may generate heat which is about 280°C to about 320°C.
- FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of a heater assembly according to another embodiment.
- a heater assembly 101 may include a heat insulating portion 170 that is coupled to the susceptor 110 and a bottom of the accommodation space 120.

- the heat insulating portion 170 may absorb the heat generated by the susceptor 110.
- the entire area of the susceptor 110 uniformly generates heat according to an induced magnetic field generated by the coil 130.
- heat of a lower portion of the susceptor 110 in contact with the bottom of the accommodation space 120 may not be discharged to the outside, and thus a temperature of the lower portion of the susceptor 110 may rapidly increase.
- a temperature of a specific portion of the susceptor 110 rapidly increased, there may be a problem that a taste of smoke may be inconsistent throughout the entire heating period.
- the heat insulating portion 170 including a material different from a material of the susceptor 110 is coupled to the susceptor 110 and a bottom of the accommodation space 120 to absorb heat of a lower portion of the susceptor 110. Accordingly, a rapid increase in temperature of a specific portion of the susceptor 110 may be prevented.
- the heat insulating portion 170 may include a tin alloy-based material having a lower thermal conductivity than the susceptor 110, a non-metal-based material such as glass or ceramic, but is not limited thereto.
- the heat insulating portion 170 may include a material having a higher specific heat than the susceptor 110 or may have a higher mass than the susceptor 110, such that the heat insulating portion 170 has greater heat capacity than the susceptor 110. As heat capacity of the heat insulating portion 170 increases, the heat insulating portion 170 may store more heat generated by the susceptor 110, thereby preventing a sudden increase in temperature of a specific portion of the susceptor 110.
- the aerosol generating apparatus 100 including the heater assembly 101 may prevent performance from decreasing and increase a lifetime thereof. In addition, it is possible to prevent heat from being transferred to a user who grips the aerosol generating apparatus 100.

- the heat insulating portion 170 may include a first member 171 having a surface in contact with the susceptor 110, and a second member 172 in contact with the opposite surface of the first member 171. If thermal conductivity of the first member 171 is lower than thermal conductivity of the second member 172, the heat insulating portion 170 may block heat transfer more efficiently.

- FIG. 10 illustrates a cross-sectional view of a susceptor and a heat insulating portion of a heater assembly according to another embodiment and a graph showing an example of a temperature distribution of the susceptor and the heat insulating portion.
- a first cavity 111 may be formed inside the susceptor 110 such that the heat insulating portion 170 is exposed in the first cavity 111.
- the first cavity 111 may serve to reduce a contact area between the susceptor 110 and a bottom of an accommodation space of the susceptor 110, thereby preventing a rapid temperature increase in the lower portion of the susceptor 110 more effectively.
- the heater assembly 101 may further include a temperature sensor 180 arranged to be in contact with the heat insulating portion 170 in the first cavity 111. That is, the temperature sensor 180 may be arranged at a point where the susceptor 110 meets the heat insulating portion 170.
- the temperature sensor 180 may collect temperature information and transmit the temperature information to a controller 150.
- the controller 150 may receive the temperature information and may induce uniform heating of the susceptor 110 by adjusting power supplied to a coil 130.
- the origin may indicate one surface of the heat insulating portion 170 that is not in contact with the susceptor 110.
- the x-axis may indicate a distance from one surface of the heat insulating portion 170 that is not in contact with the susceptor 110.
- the y-axis indicate a temperature of the susceptor 110 or the heat insulating portion 170. When the susceptor 110 is heated, heat generated by the susceptor 110 may move in a direction in which the x-axis coordinate value decreases.
- the heat insulating portion 170 When the heat insulating portion 170 includes a material with low thermal conductivity, a temperature increase of the heat insulating portion 170 may be reduced. Accordingly, the temperature of the heat insulating portion 170 may be reduced as the x-axis coordinate value decreases from a surface in contact with the susceptor 110.
- FIG. 11 illustrates a cross-sectional view of a susceptor and a heat insulating portion of a heater assembly according to another embodiment and a graph showing an example of a temperature distribution of the susceptor and the heat insulating portion.
- a second cavity 173 may be formed inside the heat insulating portion 170 such that the susceptor 110 is exposed in the second cavity 173.
- the second cavity 173 may allow heat generated by the susceptor 110 to be discharged to the second cavity 173 without being collected at the lower portion of the susceptor 110, and thus a sudden increase in temperature of the lower portion of the susceptor 110 may be prevented.
- a contact area between the susceptor 110 and the heat insulating portion 170 is reduced by the second cavity 173, and thus the amount of heat transferred to the heat insulating portion 170 may be reduced. From a point on the x-axis corresponding to the contact area between the susceptor 110 and the second cavity 173, the temperature of the heat insulating portion 170 may decrease as the x-axis coordinate value decreases.
- the heater assembly 101 may further include the temperature sensor 180 that is in contact with the susceptor 110 in the second cavity 173. That is, the temperature sensor 180 may be arranged at a point where the susceptor 110 meets the second cavity 173.

That is, as heat of a lower portion of the susceptor 110 is released into the inside of the second cavity 173, an abnormal increase in temperature of the lower portion of the susceptor 110 may be prevented, and heat may be blocked to be transferred to other portions.
- the x-axis represents a distance from the upstream end (i.e., the outer surface) of the heat insulating portion 170 that is not in contact with the susceptor 110.
- the y-axis represents a temperature of the susceptor 110 or the heat insulating portion 170.

- temperatures of the susceptor 110 and the heat insulating portion 170 may also decrease.
- a temperature of the section between X1 and X2 may be higher than a temperature from X2 and X3 due to heat emitted from the susceptor 110 inserted into the second cavity 173. From X3 to the upstream end (i.e., outer surface) of the heat insulating portion 170, the temperature may decrease as the x-axis coordinate value decreases.
- the heater assembly 101 may further include the temperature sensor 180 that is in contact with the susceptor 110 in the second cavity 173. That is, the temperature sensor 180 may be arranged at a point where the susceptor 110 meets the heat insulating portion 170.
