Description

Aerosol generating assembly, aerosol generating device, system and control method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of electronic smoking sets, and particularly relates to an aerosol generating assembly, an aerosol generating device, an aerosol generating system and a control method of the aerosol generating system.
Background
A Heat Not Burn (HNB) device is an electronic device for a system that heats but does Not burn an aerosol-generating substrate (treated plant leaf product). The heating device heats the aerosol-generating substrate to a temperature at which the aerosol-generating substrate can generate aerosol but is insufficient for combustion, and can enable the aerosol-generating substrate to generate aerosol required by a user without combustion.
The heating non-combustion apparatus in the market at present mainly adopts a resistance heating mode, namely, a central heating plate, a heating needle and the like are utilized to be inserted into an aerosol generating substrate from the center of the aerosol generating substrate for heating. The heating plate of HNB appliance has the advantages of easy generation of dirt in the aerosol generating substrate extractor and the heating plate base, difficult cleaning, and partial pyrolysis of the local aerosol generating substrate contacting the heating body, thereby releasing substances harmful to human body. Therefore, the microwave heating technology gradually replaces the resistance heating mode to become a new heating mode. The microwave heating technology has the characteristics of high efficiency, timeliness, selectivity and no delay in heating, and only has the heating effect on substances with specific dielectric characteristics. The application advantages of microwave heating and atomization are that a, microwave heating is radiation heating and non-heat conduction, and the instant drawing and instant stopping can be realized, b, no heating sheet exists, so that the problems of sheet breakage and heating sheet cleaning do not exist, c, the aerosol generating substrate has high utilization rate and high taste consistency, and the taste is more similar to cigarettes.
However, in order to avoid the generation of harmful substances due to the excessive temperature of the aerosol substrate, it is necessary to provide a detection means for detecting the temperature of the aerosol substrate in the heating non-combustion device, and when the detection means is in contact with the aerosol substrate, volatile gas or aerosol substrate adheres to the surface of the detection means, which makes cleaning difficult and reduces the detection accuracy of the detection means.
Disclosure of Invention
The present invention aims to solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.
In view of this, in a first aspect, the present invention provides an aerosol-generating assembly comprising an aerosol-substrate portion, a susceptor disposed on the aerosol-substrate portion, the susceptor having a curie temperature of less than 400 degrees celsius.
The aerosol-generating assembly provided by the invention, the susceptor is disposed within the aerosol-substrate portion, the temperature of the susceptor increasing as the temperature of the aerosol-substrate portion increases.
Specifically, the microwave assembly is provided with a control circuit and a detection piece, and the detection piece can acquire the voltage standing wave ratio of a microwave transmission line in the microwave assembly. The magnitude of the voltage standing wave ratio can represent the impedance matching condition between the microwave component and the aerosol generating component. When the impedance is not matched, the voltage standing wave ratio is larger. When the impedances match, the value of the voltage standing wave ratio is small.
When the temperature of the susceptor reaches the Curie temperature of the susceptor, the susceptor can generate phase change, and the corresponding change of the susceptor can cause impedance mismatch, so that the voltage standing wave ratio is increased. When the voltage standing wave ratio is larger than the set value, the fact that the temperature of the current aerosol substrate part reaches the set temperature is indicated, the temperature of the aerosol substrate part is higher at the moment, and in order to avoid harmful substances generated by continuously increasing the temperature of the aerosol substrate part, the control circuit can control the microwave component to reduce the output power or stop working at the moment, so that the temperature control function of the aerosol generating component is realized. When the temperature of the aerosol substrate part is lower than the set temperature, the susceptor can restore to the original phase, the voltage standing wave ratio is reduced, which means that the temperature of the aerosol substrate part is reduced currently, and the microwave component can be controlled to continuously heat the aerosol substrate part.
The voltage standing wave ratio of the microwave component is changed through the corresponding change of the susceptor, so that the non-contact temperature control of the aerosol substrate part can be realized, a circuit detection part attached to the aerosol substrate part is not required to be arranged, the circuit detection part is prevented from being stained, and the cleaning workload of a user on the aerosol generating device is reduced. Moreover, by means of controlling the temperature of the aerosol substrate part through corresponding change of the receptor, harmful substances generated in the aerosol substrate part can be avoided, and safety of a user in the use process is improved.
In one possible application, the susceptor is capable of changing the resonant frequency within the resonant cavity.
By providing a susceptor in the aerosol matrix portion, the resonance frequency in the resonance cavity is brought within a set range. Before the microwave assembly is controlled to carry out microwave heating on the aerosol generating assembly, the microwave assembly is subjected to sweep frequency operation so as to determine an optimal operation frequency point of the microwave assembly, and the optimal operation frequency point is related to the resonance frequency in the atomization cavity, so that the type of the aerosol generating assembly can be identified, and a proper operation mode is configured according to the type of the aerosol generating assembly so as to heat an aerosol generating substrate in the aerosol generating assembly, and the atomization efficiency of the aerosol generating device is improved. The aerosol generating device can identify the types of aerosol generating matrixes in the aerosol generating assembly, and corresponding heating modes are set according to different types, so that the atomization effect of the aerosol generating device on different types of aerosol generating matrixes is improved.
It will be appreciated that by providing the susceptor in the aerosol-substrate portion, the identification of the aerosol-generating assembly by the aerosol-generating device is achieved, and therefore the aerosol-generating assembly can be selectively placed within the set resonance frequency range by the identification means, and only the aerosol-generating assembly within the set resonance frequency range can be microwaved by the aerosol-generating device, thereby achieving the anti-counterfeiting effect of the aerosol-generating assembly.
In addition, the aerosol generating assembly according to the above technical solution provided by the present invention may further have the following additional technical features:
In one possible design, the change in permeability and/or permittivity of the susceptor is greater than a set value when the susceptor reaches the curie temperature.
In this design, when the susceptor reaches a distance temperature, the susceptor will change in phase, and at this time, the magnetic permeability and/or the dielectric constant of the susceptor will change greatly, and this greatly change will affect the voltage standing wave ratio of the microwave transmission line in the microwave assembly, so that the function of controlling the temperature of the aerosol substrate portion can be achieved.
In one possible design, the susceptor comprises a ferroelectric susceptor or a piezoelectric susceptor.
In the design, when the temperature of the aerosol substrate part reaches the Curie temperature of the ferroelectric receptor and/or the piezoelectric receptor during the heating process of the aerosol substrate part by the microwave component, the lattice structure of the receptor changes, the polarization disappears, the dielectric constant of the receptor is obviously increased, a maximum value is shown, and the temperature sensitivity is high, so that a relatively obvious impedance mismatch phenomenon in an aerosol generating system can be caused. This phase change indicates that the temperature of the current aerosol substrate portion has been above the set temperature and that the microwave assembly may automatically cease heating the aerosol substrate portion when a phase change induced impedance mismatch associated with the curie temperature of the susceptor is detected. After stopping the heating and cooling down at the aerosol substrate portion until below the curie temperature of the susceptor, at which point the susceptor resumes its ferroelectric/piezoelectrical properties. The control circuit of the microwave component can detect that the impedance mismatch caused by the phase change is obviously reduced, and the microwave component can be started again to heat the aerosol substrate. The heating temperature of the aerosol matrix part can be controlled through repeated starting and stopping of the microwave component, and the non-contact temperature control of the aerosol matrix part is realized.
Ferroelectric receptors and piezoreceptors have a higher resistivity, a higher dielectric constant and a lower dielectric loss. The susceptor can not absorb microwaves in a transitional way, so that microwaves generated by the microwave component can act on the aerosol substrate part, and the influence of the susceptor on the atomization effect of the aerosol substrate part is avoided.
In one possible design, the susceptors include ferroelectric/piezoceramic susceptors of perovskite structure, and/or ferroelectric/piezofilm susceptors, and/or ceramic thermistor susceptors.

In one possible design, the susceptor extends along the length of the aerosol substrate portion.
In this design, it is defined that the length direction of the susceptor is arranged in the same direction as the length direction of the aerosol substrate portion. The effect of the microwaves on the aerosol substrate is different due to the length of the aerosol substrate, the heating effect of the microwaves on the side of the aerosol substrate facing the resonant cavity is relatively good, the heating effect of the microwaves on the side of the aerosol substrate facing away from the resonant cavity is relatively poor, and therefore the heating effect of the microwaves on the aerosol substrate is different, and the temperatures of the aerosol substrate are different. The susceptor extends along the length direction of the aerosol substrate part, so that the susceptor can detect the temperatures of a plurality of positions of the aerosol substrate part, the accuracy of temperature detection is improved, the area with overhigh temperature is not easy to appear on the aerosol substrate part, harmful substances are effectively avoided from being generated on the aerosol substrate part, and the safety of a user in using an aerosol generating system is improved.
In one possible design, the aerosol substrate portion comprises an aerosol substrate segment, the length of the susceptor being less than or equal to the length of the aerosol substrate segment.
In this design, the relation between the length of the susceptor and the length of the aerosol substrate segments is defined. Since the susceptor extends in the length direction of the aerosol substrate portion and the length of the susceptor is smaller than the length of the aerosol substrate portion, the susceptor does not protrude out of the aerosol substrate section.
The aerosol matrix portion also typically includes a hollow section, a cool down section and a filter section, the hollow section being positioned between the cool down section and the aerosol matrix section, the cool down section being positioned between the hollow section and the filter section. The hollow section is used for buffering aerosol for aerosol can flow gently, and the hollow section still links to each other with the cooling section, and the cooling section is used for cooling the aerosol, thereby improves user's comfort level, and the filter tip section links to each other with the cooling section, and the filter tip section is used for filtering aerosol. The aerosol generating substrate part is also provided with a shell, the shell is used for wrapping the aerosol substrate section, the hollow section, the cooling section and the filter tip section, and the shell is one of a cardboard tube, a polylactic acid material tube, a protein material tube, a vegetable gum material tube or a cellulose derivative material tube with supporting function.
If the susceptor stretches out of the aerosol substrate section, the stretched part detection cannot play a role in detecting the temperature, so that the susceptor does not stretch out of the aerosol substrate section, the accuracy in detecting the temperature of the aerosol substrate section can be ensured on the basis of shortening the length of the susceptor as much as possible, and the material waste caused by longer and larger susceptors is avoided.
In one possible design, the number of susceptors is at least one.
In this design, the effect of the microwaves on the aerosol substrate portion varies, so the effect of the microwaves on the heating of the aerosol substrate portion varies, and therefore the temperature of the aerosol substrate portion varies. Through increasing the quantity of the receptors, a plurality of positions on the aerosol substrate part can be detected, the accuracy of temperature detection is improved, the area with overhigh temperature is not easy to appear on the aerosol substrate part is ensured, harmful substances are effectively avoided from being generated on the aerosol substrate part, and the safety of a user in using an aerosol generating system is improved.
In one possible design, the number of susceptors is at least two, the at least two susceptors being spaced apart along the length of the aerosol substrate portion.
In this design, the effect of the microwaves on the aerosol substrate portion is different due to the length of the aerosol substrate portion, the heating effect of the microwaves on the side of the aerosol substrate portion facing the resonant cavity is relatively good, the heating effect of the microwaves on the side of the aerosol substrate portion facing away from the resonant cavity is relatively poor, and therefore the heating effect of the microwaves on the aerosol substrate portion is different, and therefore the temperatures of the aerosol substrate portion are also different. At least two receptors are extended at intervals along the length direction of the aerosol substrate part, so that the receptors can detect the temperatures of a plurality of positions of the aerosol substrate part, the accuracy of temperature detection is improved, the area with overhigh temperature is not easy to appear on the aerosol substrate part, harmful substances are effectively avoided from being generated on the aerosol substrate part, and the safety of a user in using an aerosol generating system is improved.
The two adjacent aerosol substrate parts are arranged at intervals, and because the temperature difference between the positions, which are close to each other, on the aerosol substrate parts is small, two susceptors do not need to be arranged at the positions, which are close to each other, and the number of the susceptors can be reduced, so that the material consumption can be saved.
In one possible design, the shape of the susceptor includes one or more of a prism, a pyramid, a cone, a sphere.
In the design, the shape of the susceptor can be reasonably set according to actual requirements in the production process of the susceptor. The shape of the susceptor includes, but is not limited to, a prism, a pyramid, a cone, a sphere.

The cavity walls of the resonator are made of a metallic material, and illustratively, the cavity walls of the resonator are made of copper, aluminum, iron, or the like, or an alloy thereof.
The control circuit can obtain the voltage standing wave ratio. The magnitude of the voltage standing wave ratio can be indicative of the impedance match between the microwave component and the aerosol generating component. When the impedance is not matched, the voltage standing wave ratio is larger. When the impedances match, the value of the voltage standing wave ratio is small.
When the temperature of the susceptor reaches the Curie temperature of the susceptor, the susceptor can generate phase change, and the corresponding change of the susceptor can cause impedance mismatch, so that the voltage standing wave ratio is increased. When the voltage standing wave ratio is larger than the set value, the fact that the temperature of the current aerosol substrate part reaches the set temperature is indicated, the temperature of the aerosol substrate part is higher at the moment, and in order to avoid harmful substances generated by continuously increasing the temperature of the aerosol substrate part, the control circuit can control the microwave component to reduce the output power or stop working at the moment, so that the temperature control function of the aerosol generating component is realized. When the temperature of the aerosol substrate part is lower than the set temperature, the susceptor can restore to the original phase, the voltage standing wave ratio is reduced, which means that the temperature of the aerosol substrate part is reduced currently, and the microwave component can be controlled to continuously heat the aerosol substrate part.
The voltage standing wave ratio of the microwave component is changed through the corresponding change of the susceptor, so that the non-contact temperature control of the aerosol substrate part can be realized, a circuit detection part attached to the aerosol substrate part is not required to be arranged, the circuit detection part is prevented from being stained, and the cleaning workload of a user on the aerosol generating device is reduced.

The resonating posts can be made of a metallic material, for example, copper, aluminum, iron, or the like, or an alloy thereof. The resonance column is used for transmitting microwaves and improving the transmission rate of the microwaves, the microwaves are not easy to attenuate when being transmitted in the atomization cavity, and the effect of the microwaves on the aerosol-generating substrate is improved, so that the microwaves can efficiently and rapidly act on the aerosol-generating substrate, and the use requirements of users are met.

In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may be practiced in other ways than those described herein, and therefore the scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
An aerosol-generating assembly, an aerosol-generating device, an aerosol-generating system, and a method of controlling an aerosol-generating system provided according to some embodiments of the invention are described below with reference to fig. 1-6.
In some embodiments of the invention, as shown in connection with fig. 1, 2 and 5, an aerosol generating assembly is presented comprising an aerosol substrate portion 210 and a susceptor 220, the susceptor 220 being provided on the aerosol substrate portion 210, the susceptor 220 having a curie temperature of less than 400 degrees celsius.
The susceptor 220 is arranged within the aerosol substrate portion 210, and when the temperature of the aerosol substrate portion 210 increases, the temperature of the susceptor 220 also increases.
Specifically, the microwave assembly 120 is provided with a control circuit capable of acquiring a voltage standing wave ratio. The magnitude of the voltage standing wave ratio can be indicative of the impedance match between the microwave assembly 120 and the aerosol generating assembly 200. When the impedance is not matched, the voltage standing wave ratio is larger. When the impedances match, the value of the voltage standing wave ratio is small.
When the temperature of the susceptor 220 reaches its curie temperature, the susceptor 220 itself can undergo a phase change, and the corresponding change in the susceptor 220 can cause an impedance mismatch phenomenon, thereby increasing the voltage standing wave ratio. When the voltage standing wave ratio is greater than the set value, it indicates that the temperature of the aerosol substrate portion 210 has reached the set temperature, and at this time, the temperature of the aerosol substrate portion 210 is higher, so as to avoid harmful substances generated by continuously increasing the temperature of the aerosol substrate portion 210, and at this time, the control circuit may control the microwave assembly to reduce the output power or stop working, so as to realize the function of controlling the temperature of the aerosol generating assembly. When the temperature of the aerosol substrate portion 210 is below the set temperature, the susceptor 220 may revert to the original phase, the voltage standing wave ratio decreases, indicating that the temperature of the current aerosol substrate portion 210 has decreased, and the microwave assembly 120 may be controlled to continue heating the aerosol substrate portion 210.
By changing the voltage standing wave ratio of the microwave assembly 120 through corresponding changes of the susceptor 220, non-contact temperature control of the aerosol substrate portion 210 can be realized, a circuit detection component attached to the aerosol substrate portion 210 is not required to be arranged, dirt of the circuit detection component is avoided, the cleaning workload of a user on the aerosol generating device 100 is reduced, and the service life of the aerosol generating device 100 is prolonged. Because the aerosol generating assembly 200 is disposable, it is not cleaned and is disposable. Moreover, by detecting the temperature of the aerosol substrate portion 210 by corresponding changes of the susceptor 220, the accuracy of the detection process can be improved, and the generation of harmful substances by the aerosol substrate portion 210 is avoided, which is beneficial to improving the safety of the user in the use process.
In one possible application, the susceptor 220 is capable of changing the resonant frequency within the resonant cavity 110.
By providing the susceptor 220 in the aerosol matrix portion 210, the resonance frequency in the resonator 110 is brought within a set range. Before the microwave assembly 120 is controlled to perform microwave heating on the aerosol-generating assembly 200, the microwave assembly 120 performs sweep operation to determine an optimal operating frequency point of the microwave assembly 120, where the optimal operating frequency point is related to a resonant frequency in the aerosol-generating assembly 200, so that a type of the aerosol-generating assembly 200 can be identified, and an appropriate operating mode can be configured according to the type of the aerosol-generating assembly 200 to heat an aerosol-generating substrate in the aerosol-generating assembly 200, thereby improving the atomization efficiency of the aerosol-generating device 100. The aerosol-generating device 100 is enabled to identify the types of aerosol-generating substrates in the aerosol-generating assembly 200, and corresponding heating modes are set according to the types, so that the atomization effect of the aerosol-generating device 100 on the aerosol-generating substrates of different types is improved.
It will be appreciated that by providing the susceptor 220 in the aerosol-substrate portion 210, the identification of the aerosol-generating assembly 200 by the aerosol-generating device 100 is achieved, and therefore, the aerosol-generating assembly 200 can be selectively placed within a set resonance frequency range by the identification means, and only the aerosol-generating assembly 200 within the set resonance frequency range can be microwaved by the aerosol-generating device 100, thereby achieving the anti-counterfeiting effect of the aerosol-generating assembly 200.
The material of the susceptor 220 is mainly used to indicate the moment during the entire heating period when the aerosol substrate portion 210 reaches the maximum desired temperature.
In one possible embodiment, when susceptor 220 reaches the curie temperature, the magnetic permeability and/or permittivity of susceptor 220 varies by a value greater than a set value.
In this embodiment, when the susceptor 220 reaches a distance temperature, the susceptor 220 undergoes a phase change, and at this time, the magnetic permeability and/or the dielectric constant of the susceptor 220 undergo a substantial change, which may affect the voltage standing wave ratio of the microwave transmission line in the microwave assembly, so that the function of controlling the temperature of the aerosol substrate portion 210 may be achieved.
In one possible embodiment, the susceptor 220 comprises a ferroelectric or piezoelectric susceptor.
In this design, when the temperature of the aerosol substrate portion reaches the curie temperature of the ferroelectric and/or piezoelectrics susceptor during heating of the aerosol substrate portion by the microwave assembly, the lattice structure of susceptor 220 changes, the polarization disappears, the dielectric constant of susceptor 220 increases significantly, a maximum is exhibited, and the temperature sensitivity is high, which causes a relatively significant impedance mismatch in the aerosol generating system. This change in phase change indicates that the temperature of the current aerosol substrate portion has been above the set temperature, and the microwave assembly may automatically cease heating the aerosol substrate portion when a phase change induced impedance mismatch associated with the curie temperature of the susceptor 220 is detected. After stopping the heating and cooling down at the aerosol matrix portion until below the curie temperature of the susceptor 220, at which point the susceptor 220 resumes its ferroelectric/piezoelectrical properties. The control circuit of the microwave component can detect that the impedance mismatch caused by the phase change is obviously reduced, and the microwave component can be started again to heat the aerosol substrate. The heating temperature of the aerosol matrix part can be controlled through repeated starting and stopping of the microwave component, and the non-contact temperature control of the aerosol matrix part is realized.
Ferroelectric receptors and piezoreceptors have a higher resistivity, a higher dielectric constant and a lower dielectric loss. The susceptor 220 can not absorb microwaves in a transitional way, so that microwaves generated by the microwave component can act on the aerosol substrate part, and the influence of the susceptor 220 on the atomization effect of the aerosol substrate part is avoided.
In one possible embodiment, the susceptors 220 comprise ferroelectric/piezoceramic susceptors of perovskite structure, and/or ferroelectric/piezofilm susceptors, and/or ceramic thermistor susceptors.
In one possible embodiment, the susceptor 220 comprises at least one of a bismuth sodium titanate susceptor, a bismuth barium niobate susceptor, a barium titanate susceptor, a sodium niobate susceptor, a niobium titanate susceptor, a barium strontium titanate susceptor, a niobate susceptor.
As shown in fig. 1, in one possible embodiment, the susceptor 220 extends along the length of the aerosol substrate portion 210.
In this embodiment, the length direction of the susceptor 220 is defined to be disposed in the same direction as the length direction of the aerosol substrate portion 210. The effect of the microwaves on the aerosol substrate portion 210 is different due to the length of the aerosol substrate portion 210, the heating effect of the microwaves on the side of the aerosol substrate portion 210 facing the resonant cavity 110 is relatively good, the heating effect of the microwaves on the side of the aerosol substrate portion 210 facing away from the resonant cavity 110 is relatively poor, and the heating effect of the microwaves on the aerosol substrate portion 210 is different, so that the temperatures of the aerosol substrate portion 210 are also different. The susceptor 220 extends along the length direction of the aerosol substrate portion 210, so that the susceptor 220 can detect the temperatures of a plurality of positions of the aerosol substrate portion 210, the accuracy of temperature detection is improved, the area with overhigh temperature on the aerosol substrate portion 210 is ensured, harmful substances generated by the aerosol substrate portion 210 are effectively avoided, and the safety of a user in using the aerosol generating system is improved.
In one possible embodiment, the aerosol substrate portion 210 comprises an aerosol substrate segment 211, the length of the susceptor 220 being less than or equal to the length of the aerosol substrate segment 211.
In this embodiment, the relationship of the length of the susceptor 220 and the length of the aerosol substrate segment 211 is defined. Since the susceptor 220 extends in the length direction of the aerosol substrate portion 210 and the length of the susceptor 220 is smaller than the length of the aerosol substrate portion 210, the susceptor 220 does not protrude out of the aerosol substrate segment 211.
The aerosol matrix portion 210 generally further comprises a hollow section 212, a cooling section 213 and a filter section 214, the hollow section 212 being located between the cooling section 213 and the aerosol matrix section 211, the cooling section 213 being located between the hollow section 212 and the filter section 214. The hollow section 212 is used for buffering aerosol for aerosol can gentle flow, and the hollow section 212 still links to each other with cooling section 213, and cooling section 213 is used for cooling the aerosol, thereby improves user's comfort level, and filter tip section 214 links to each other with cooling section 213, and filter tip section 214 is used for filtering aerosol. The aerosol generating substrate part is further provided with a housing for wrapping the aerosol substrate section 211, the hollow section 212, the cooling section 213 and the filter section 214, the housing being one of a cardboard tube, a polylactic acid material tube, a protein material tube, a vegetable gum material tube or a cellulose derivative material tube having a supporting function.
If the susceptor 220 extends out of the aerosol substrate segment 211, the extended part detection cannot be used for detecting the temperature, so that the susceptor 220 does not extend out of the aerosol substrate segment 211, the accuracy in detecting the temperature of the aerosol substrate segment 211 can be ensured on the basis of shortening the length of the susceptor 220 as much as possible, and the material waste caused by a longer and larger susceptor 220 is avoided.
In one possible application, aerosol substrate segment 211 is a solid material based on tobacco, herb or herbal leaves, medicaments, prepared to include substrates of various forms including one or more of particulates, flakes, powder chips, filaments, pastes, cakes, porous aerogels, capsules, and the like.
The material of the hollow section 212 is one of cardboard tube, polylactic acid material tube, synthetic resin, protein material tube, vegetable gum material tube, cellulose derivative material tube, cellulose acetate, polylactic acid tow or acetate fiber tow, etc.

Wherein the height of the aerosol substrate sections 211 is between 6mm and 25mm, preferably between 8mm and 12mm. The aerosol substrate sections 211 have a diameter of 4mm to 17mm, preferably 5mm to 8mm.
As shown in connection with fig. 3 and 4, in one possible embodiment, the number of susceptors 220 is at least one.
In this embodiment, the effect of the microwaves on the aerosol base portion 210 is different from place to place, so the heating effect of the microwaves on the aerosol base portion 210 is different from place to place, and thus the temperature of the aerosol base portion 210 is also different from place to place. By increasing the number of susceptors 220, a plurality of positions on the aerosol substrate portion 210 can be detected, the accuracy of temperature detection is improved, an area with overhigh temperature is not easy to appear on the aerosol substrate portion 210 is ensured, harmful substances generated by the aerosol substrate portion 210 are effectively avoided, and the safety of a user in using an aerosol generating system is improved.
As shown in fig. 3, in one possible embodiment, the number of susceptors 220 is at least two, with at least two susceptors 220 being spaced apart along the length of the aerosol substrate portion 210.
In this embodiment, the effect of the microwaves on the aerosol substrate portion 210 is different due to the length of the aerosol substrate portion 210, the heating effect of the microwaves on the side of the aerosol substrate portion 210 facing the resonant cavity 110 is relatively good, the heating effect of the microwaves on the side of the aerosol substrate portion 210 facing away from the resonant cavity 110 is relatively poor, and therefore the heating effect of the microwaves on the aerosol substrate portion 210 is different, and therefore the temperature of the aerosol substrate portion 210 is also different. The at least two susceptors 220 are extended at intervals along the length direction of the aerosol substrate portion 210, so that the susceptors 220 can detect the temperatures of a plurality of positions of the aerosol substrate portion 210, the accuracy of temperature detection is improved, the area with overhigh temperature on the aerosol substrate portion 210 is ensured, harmful substances generated by the aerosol substrate portion 210 are effectively avoided, and the safety of a user in using the aerosol generating system is improved.
The two adjacent aerosol substrate portions 210 are spaced apart, because the temperature difference between the positions of the aerosol substrate portions 210 which are closer to each other is smaller, it is not necessary to provide two susceptors 220 at the positions which are closer to each other, and the number of susceptors 220 can be reduced by spacing the aerosol substrate portions 210, so that the material consumption can be reduced.
In one possible application, the curie temperature of susceptor 220 is less than 400 degrees celsius.
Ferroelectric susceptor 220 and piezosusceptor 220 have a higher resistivity, a higher dielectric constant and a lower dielectric loss. The susceptor 220 can not absorb microwaves in a transitional way, so that microwaves generated by the microwave assembly 120 can act on the aerosol substrate portion 210, and the influence of the susceptor 220 on the atomization effect of the aerosol substrate portion 210 is avoided.

When the temperature of the susceptor reaches the Curie temperature of the susceptor, the susceptor can generate phase change, and the corresponding change of the susceptor can cause impedance mismatch, so that the voltage standing wave ratio is increased. When the voltage standing wave ratio is larger than the set value, the fact that the temperature of the current aerosol substrate part reaches the set temperature is indicated, the temperature of the aerosol substrate part is higher at the moment, and in order to avoid harmful substances generated by continuously increasing the temperature of the aerosol substrate part, the control circuit can control the microwave component to reduce the output power or stop working at the moment, so that the temperature control function of the aerosol generating component is realized. When the temperature of the aerosol substrate part is lower than the set temperature, the susceptor can restore to the original phase, the voltage standing wave ratio is reduced, which means that the temperature of the aerosol substrate part is reduced currently, and the microwave component can be controlled to continuously heat the aerosol substrate part.

When the temperature of the susceptor is lower than the curie temperature, the susceptor can restore to the original phase, the voltage standing wave ratio is reduced, which means that the temperature of the current aerosol substrate part is already reduced, and the microwave component can be controlled to continuously heat the aerosol substrate part.
