Referring to fig. 1A, a stick 10 for an aerosol-generating device according to an embodiment may include a suction portion 100, a storage portion 200, and a connection portion 300. The inhalation portion 100 is a portion for inhalation by a user, who can inhale aerosol by applying negative pressure to the inhalation portion 100. The suction part 100 may be formed in the form of a suction nozzle to facilitate the user's suction. The reservoir 200 may store an aerosol-forming substrate. The storage section preferably stores 0.03ml to 0.06ml of the aerosol-forming substrate. One end of the storage part 200 may be abutted with one end of the suction part 100. The connection part 300 may connect the storage part 200 and an atomizing part in an aerosol-generating device described later. The connection part 300 may move the aerosol-forming substrate stored in the storage part 200 to the atomizing part. The connection part 300 may include a porous material such as cotton core, porous ceramic, filter paper, etc. The connection 300 may move the aerosol-forming substrate in the reservoir 200 to the atomizing portion by capillary action. The storage part 200 may be disposed between the suction part 100 and the connection part 300.
Referring to fig. 1B, the stick 10 for an aerosol-generating device according to an embodiment may include a suction portion 100, a storage portion 200, a connection portion 300, and a channel portion 400. The channel part 400 may be disposed across the suction part 100, the storage part 200, and the connection part 300.

Fig. 2 is an aerosol-generating device according to an embodiment.
Referring to fig. 2, the aerosol-generating device 1 according to an embodiment may comprise a rod 10 for an aerosol-generating device, a power supply portion 500, a housing portion 600 and an atomizing portion 700. The rod 10 for an aerosol-generating device may be attached to or removed from the aerosol-generating device. The rod 10 for an aerosol-generating device may include a suction portion 100, a storage portion 200, a connection portion 300, and a channel portion 400. The atomizing part 700 may atomize the aerosol-forming substrate using a surface acoustic wave. The atomizing portion 700 may receive aerosol-forming substrate from the reservoir 200.
The atomizing area 700 includes a surface acoustic wave generating element 710 that can generate a surface acoustic wave, a substrate element 720 that can transmit the surface acoustic wave generated from the surface acoustic wave generating element 710, and a cavity element 730 that prevents an atomized aerosol from escaping.
The surface acoustic wave generating element 710 can generate a surface acoustic wave that atomizes an aerosol-forming substrate. The surface acoustic wave is an acoustic wave propagating along the surface of an elastomer substrate (substrate), and is generated from an electrical signal as a result of a piezoelectric effect (Piezoelectric Effect). The surface acoustic wave generated by the surface acoustic wave generating element 710 can atomize the aerosol-forming substrate in liquid form. The surface acoustic wave generated by the surface acoustic wave generating element 710 can be transferred to the substrate element 720.
The surface acoustic wave generating element 710 may be designed to operate and generate surface acoustic waves only when a user pumps the aerosol-generating device. For example, the inhalation 100 may include a respiration sensor (not shown). The respiration sensor mounted on the inhalation portion 100 can sense this and generate an electrical control signal when the user inhales the aerosol-generating device, thereby activating the surface acoustic wave generating element only when the user inhales the aerosol-generating device 700.
The connection part 300 of the rod 10 for an aerosol-generating device may transfer the aerosol-forming substrate stored in the storage part 200 to the substrate element 720 of the atomizing part 700. The aerosol-forming substrate delivered to the substrate element 720 may encounter the surface acoustic wave applied by the surface acoustic wave generating element 710 and be atomized into aerosol form. An aerosol generated by atomizing the aerosol-forming substrate may be provided into the cavity element 730.
One end of the connection part 300 may contact the substrate member 720. For example, the connection part 300 may include a porous material such as cotton core, porous ceramic, or filter paper. The connection 300 may move the aerosol-forming substrate in the reservoir 200 to the atomizing portion by capillary action. Or the connection 300 may comprise a channel element (not shown) capable of moving the aerosol-forming substrate to the substrate element 720 and a control element (not shown) capable of controlling the flow of the moving aerosol-forming substrate.
For example, a control element (not shown) may control the flow rate of the moving liquid by controlling the liquid flow rate. For example, the control element (not shown) may be a micro pump (micro pump). A control element (not shown) may supply aerosol-forming substrate to the substrate element 720 at a preset rate. By controlling the flow rate of the liquid aerosol-forming substrate supplied to the substrate member 720, the amount of atomization of the aerosol generated in the atomizing area 700 can be controlled.
The channel portion 400 of the rod 10 for an aerosol-generating device may be in communication with the cavity element 730. When the user sucks the inhalation portion 100, the aerosol in the chamber element 730 can be inhaled by the user along the channel portion 400 as indicated by an arrow F. The user is able to aspirate the aerosol-generating device until all of the aerosol-forming substrate stored in the reservoir 200 is exhausted. When all of the aerosol-forming substrate stored in the storage portion 200 is exhausted, the user may remove the rod 10 for an aerosol-generating device from the aerosol-generating device 1.
The power supply section 500 may supply power to the atomizing section 700 or other components of the aerosol-generating device 1 as desired.
The case portion 600 may encase the atomizing portion 700, the power supply portion 500, and the rod 10 for an aerosol-generating device to protect them from external impact and other disturbance, and to form the external appearance of the aerosol-generating device 1.

In another embodiment, the heater 950 may be an induction heating heater. For example, the heater 950 may include a susceptor that heats the aerosol-generating substance by generating heat from a magnetic field applied by a coil.
In one embodiment, the heater 950 includes a plurality of heaters. For example, the heater 950 may include a first heater for heating cigarettes and a second heater for heating liquids.
The user input part 960 may receive information input by a user or output information to the user. For example, the user input part 960 may include a keyboard (key pad), a dome switch (dome switch), a touch pad (touch capacitive type, pressure sensitive film type, infrared sensing type, surface ultrasonic conduction type, integral tension measuring type (integral tension measurement type), piezoelectric effect method, etc.), a scroll wheel, a micro switch, etc., but the embodiment is not limited thereto. Although not shown in fig. 6, the aerosol-generating device 900 may further include a connection interface (connection interface) such as a universal serial bus (USB, universal serial bus) interface, through which information may be transmitted and received to and from other external devices, or the battery 940 may be charged.
The memory 970 is hardware for storing various data processed by the aerosol-generating device 900, and can store data processed by the control unit 910 and data to be processed. The memory 970 is at least one storage medium selected from a flash memory type (flash memory type) memory, a hard disk type (HARD DISK TYPE) memory, a multimedia card micro (multimedia card micro type) memory, a card type memory (e.g., SD or XD memory, etc.), a random access memory (random access memory, RAM), a static random access memory (static random access memory, SRAM), a read-only memory (ROM), an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (ELECTRICALLY ERASABLE PROGRAMMABLE READ-only memory, EEPROM), a programmable read-only memory (programmable read-only memory, PROM), a magnetic memory, a magnetic disk, and an optical disk. The memory 970 may store a number of aerosol-generating device operating information such as the operating time of the aerosol-generating device 900, the maximum number of puffs, the current number of puffs, at least one temperature profile, and user smoking pattern data.
The communication part 980 may include at least one component that communicates with other electronic devices. For example, the communication unit 980 may include a short-range communication unit 982 and a wireless communication unit 984.
The short-range communication section (short-RANGE WIRELESS communication unit) 982 includes a bluetooth communication section, a bluetooth low energy (Bluetooth Low Energy, BLE) communication section, a near field communication section (NEAR FIELD Communication unit), a WLAN (Wi-Fi) communication section, a Zigbee communication section, an infrared (IrDA, INFRARED DATA Association) communication section, a Wi-Fi direct (WFD) communication section, an Ultra Wideband (UWB) communication section, an ant+ communication section, and the like, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.
The wireless communication portion 984 may include, but is not limited to, a cellular network communication portion, an internet communication portion, a computer network (e.g., LAN or WAN) communication portion, and the like. The wireless communication portion 984 may use subscription user information (e.g., an International Mobile Subscriber Identifier (IMSI)) to identify and authenticate the aerosol-generating device 900 within the communication network.
The control portion 910 may control the overall operation of the aerosol-generating device 900. In one embodiment, the control portion 910 may include at least one processor. The processor may be implemented as a plurality of arrays of logic gates, or as a combination of a general purpose microprocessor and a memory having stored therein a program executable by the microprocessor. It will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that the at least one processor may be other forms of hardware.
The control part 910 may control the temperature of the heater 950 by controlling the power supply of the battery 940 to the heater 950. For example, the control part 910 may control power supply by controlling switching of a switching element between the battery 940 and the heater 950. In another example, the heating integrated circuit may control power supply to the heater 950 according to a control command of the control part 910.
The control part 910 may analyze the detection result of the sensing part 920 and control the subsequent process. For example, the control part 910 may control the power supplied to the heater 950 according to the result detected by the sensing part 920, thereby turning on and off the heater 950. For another example, the control unit 910 may control the amount of power supplied to the heater 950 and the power supply time based on the detection result of the sensing unit 920, so that the heater 950 is heated to a predetermined temperature or maintained at an appropriate temperature.
The control unit 910 may control the output unit 930 according to the result detected by the sensing unit 920. For example, when the number of times of suction counted by the suction sensor 926 reaches a preset number of times, the control section 910 may notify the user that the aerosol-generating device 900 is about to stop through at least one of the display section 932, the haptic section 934, and the sound output section 936.
In an embodiment, the control part 910 may control the power supply time and/or the power supply amount to the heater 950 according to the state of the aerosol-generating article detected by the sensing part 920. For example, when the aerosol-generating article is in an excessively wet state, the control portion 910 may control the power supply time to the induction coil, thereby extending the warm-up time for the aerosol-generating article compared to the normal state.
