Problems solved by technology

This ensures that a fresh part of the aerosol-generating article is heated at any time, but also keeps heating the spent part of the aerosol-generating article, resulting in unnecessary energy consumption
[0009] Accordingly, such aerosol-generating devices may provide a less than desirable experience for the user, as the aerosol-generating device may not operate most effectively or efficiently when generating an aerosol from the aerosol-generating article
Additionally, such aerosol-generating devices may waste one or more portions of the aerosol-generating article due to ineffective or inefficient heating
Additionally, such aerosol-generating devices may overheat one or more portions of the aerosol-generating article in an attempt to heat the entire aerosol-generating article, which may release undesired aerosols and may waste energy

Embodiment Construction

[0088] As shown, illustrative aerosol-generating device 100 may include a housing 110 . exist Figure 1-2 In this illustrative example, housing 110 can extend from distal end 107 to proximal end 108 . The housing 110 may include or define a cavity 105 for receiving the aerosol-generating article 130, and may be sized and shaped accordingly. E.g, Figure 1-2 The cavity 105 of the device 100 defines a rectangular or box-shaped cavity 105 for receiving a generally thin rectangular aerosol-generating article 130 .

[0089] exist Figure 6-8 Other chambers that may be used with the illustrative aerosol-generating device 100 are depicted in . like Image 6 As shown in , cavity 105 is a tube for receiving cylindrical aerosol generating element 130 . like Figure 7-8 As shown in , cavity 105 is a frustum for receiving frustoconical aerosol generating element 130 .

[0090]Regardless of the shape of the cavity 130 of the aerosol-generating device 100 , the cavity 130 may be ali...

Abstract

An aerosol-generating device (100) including a heater array (120) and methods for use therewith may generate aerosol using aerosol- generating articles (130). The heater array includes a plurality of heating elements (122) arranged about an aerosol-generating device to direct heat to an aerosol-generating articles coupled thereto. At least one property of the aerosol-generating article may be identified and the aerosol-generating article may be heated using the heater array based on the identified at least one property.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to devices comprising heater arrays for use with aerosol generating articles and methods of use thereof. The heater array may include a plurality of heating elements that are each used individually or cooperatively to heat the aerosol-generating article in a variety of ways. The apparatus may perform and the method may comprise: identifying at least one characteristic of the aerosol-generating article; and heating the aerosol-generating article using the heater array based on the identified at least one characteristic of the aerosol-generating article. [0002] Preferably, such devices and methods are configured to heat the aerosol-generating article sufficiently to cause aerosol generation without burning the aerosol-generating article. These are known as "heat not burn" devices and are commonly used to consume tobacco or tobacco-based products. For example, these devices can heat tobacco-based aerosol-generating articles...
