[0057] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that the orientation or position relationship indicated by the term "first direction" or the like is based on the attached Figure 1 The orientation or positional relationship shown, these orientation terms are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the embodiments of the present application.

[0058] An embodiment of the present application provides an aerosol generating product, see Figures 1 to 17, the aerosol-generating article comprises an aerosol-generating substrate 10.

[0059] The aerosol generating substrate 10 includes at least two straight plate-shaped skeletons 11, and all the skeletons 11 together form an integrated structure with an air channel 10a. The air channel 10a extends from one end of the aerosol generating substrate 10 along a first direction to the other opposite end, and the air channel 10a includes at least a first air channel 10a1 located outside the aerosol generating substrate 10.

[0060] The aerosol generating article can be used in conjunction with an aerosol generating device having a heating component. Specifically, the heating component heats and atomizes the aerosol generating substrate 10 to generate an aerosol for users to inhale or for use in medicine, beauty, etc.

[0061] There are many heating methods for the heating component. Exemplarily, the heating methods include central heating and peripheral heating. The central heating method refers to the heating component being inserted into the interior of the aerosol generating product to bake and heat the aerosol generating product from the inside out. The peripheral heating method refers to the heating component being arranged at the periphery of the aerosol generating product to bake and heat the aerosol generating product from the outside in. These heating methods may specifically be resistance heating, electromagnetic heating, infrared heating, microwave heating, laser heating, etc.

[0062] The specific structure of the aerosol generating substrate 10 is not limited here. For example, in one embodiment, the aerosol generating substrate 10 can be made of an atomizing medium itself, such as a smoke flavoring medium. In other embodiments, the aerosol generating substrate 10 can also include a substrate and an atomizing medium disposed on the substrate. The substrate can be, for example, high temperature resistant carbon fiber. In this way, by providing the substrate, the strength of the aerosol generating substrate 10 can be improved, and the substrate can also withstand a certain degree of high temperature without generating odor.

[0063] The specific components of the aerosol generating matrix 10 are not limited herein. For example, in one embodiment, the aerosol generating matrix 10 may include plant components, auxiliary components, smoke generating agent components, adhesive components, and the like.

[0064] In one embodiment, the plant component is one or more combinations of powders formed by crushing tobacco raw materials, tobacco leaf fragments, tobacco stems, tobacco dust, and aromatic plants. The plant component is the core source of the flavor of the product. Endogenous substances in the plant component, such as nicotine, enter the human blood through atomization, promote the pituitary gland to produce dopamine, and thus obtain physiological satisfaction.

[0065] In one embodiment, the auxiliary agent component can be one or more combinations of inorganic fillers, lubricants, and emulsifiers. Among them, the inorganic filler includes one or more combinations of heavy calcium carbonate, light calcium carbonate, zeolite, attapulgite, talc, and diatomaceous earth. The inorganic filler can provide a skeleton support for the plant component, and the inorganic filler also has micropores, which can increase the porosity of the wall material after the plant component is formed, thereby increasing the aerosol release rate.

[0066] The lubricant includes one or more combinations of candelilla wax, carnauba wax, shellac, sunflower wax, rice bran, beeswax, stearic acid, and palmitic acid. The lubricant can increase the fluidity of the particles, reduce the friction between the particles, make the overall density of the particle distribution more uniform, and also reduce the pressure required for mold molding and reduce the wear of the mold.

[0067] Emulsifiers include one or more combinations of polyglycerol fatty acid esters, Tween-80, and polyvinyl alcohol. Emulsifiers can slow down the loss of flavor substances during storage to a certain extent, increase the stability of flavor substances, and improve the sensory quality of products. Emulsifiers (also known as surfactants) can reduce the interfacial tension of water-soluble and water-insoluble components in the mixed system, and form a relatively strong film on the surface of the droplets or form a double electric layer on the surface of the droplets due to the charge given by the emulsifier, preventing the droplets from aggregating with each other and maintaining a uniform emulsion. Emulsifying and homogenizing two immiscible components can improve the consistency of product quality.

[0068] The function of the smoke-generating agent component is to generate a large amount of steam when heated, thereby increasing the amount of smoke of the smoking product. In one embodiment, the smoke-generating agent may include, for example: a monohydric alcohol (such as menthol); a polyhydric alcohol (such as propylene glycol, triethylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol and glycerol); an ester of a polyhydric alcohol (such as monoacetin, diacetin or triacetin); a monocarboxylic acid; a polycarboxylic acid (such as lauric acid, myristic acid) or an aliphatic ester of a polycarboxylic acid (such as dimethyl dodecanedioate, dimethyl tetradecanedioate, erythritol, 1,3-butylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, triethyl citrate, propylene carbonate, ethyl laurate, Triactin, meso-erythritol, diacetin mixture, diethyl suberate, triethyl citrate, benzyl benzoate, benzyl phenylacetate, ethyl vanillate, glyceryl tributyrate, lauryl acetate) or one or more combinations thereof.

[0069] In one embodiment, the adhesive component is a natural plant extract, a non-ionized modified viscous polysaccharide, including one or more combinations of tamarind polysaccharide, pullulan, seaweed polysaccharide, locust bean gum, guar gum, and xyloglucan. The adhesive is in close contact with the interface of the product component material by wetting, generating an intermolecular attraction, thereby playing the role of bonding the powder, liquid, etc. of the component material. At the same time, the use of natural plant extracts and non-ionic adhesives can avoid the release of harmful substances such as methanol, formaldehyde, and acrolein caused by colloid modification, thereby improving the safety of the product.

[0070] Please continue reading Figures 1 to 12 The aerosol generating substrate 10 is an integrated structure. For example, the aerosol generating substrate 10 can be a particle combination, and the particle combination is a reconstituted tobacco medium, for example, a reconstituted tobacco medium containing components such as a smoke generating agent and tobacco.

[0071] The aerosol generating matrix 10 can be formed into an integral structure by injection molding, compression molding, extrusion, casting, rolling, etc. Extrusion molding refers to a processing method in which a raw material mixture is added to an extruder, and the material is pushed forward by the screw through the action between the extruder barrel and the screw, and continuously passes through the die to form various cross-section products or semi-finished products.

[0072] The aerosol generating matrix 10 is an integrated structure during heating and suction or after stopping heating, and is not prone to disintegration and falling off, thereby solving the problems of the thin sheet, filament or loose particle aerosol generating matrix 10 in the prior art, such as loose sheets, falling of filamentary components and particle components, and difficulty in cleaning.

[0073] Please continue reading Figures 1 to 12 The aerosol generating matrix 10 is mainly composed of a skeleton 11, and the number of the skeleton 11 can be two or more than two.

[0074] The frame 11 is in the shape of a flat plate, that is, two opposite outer surfaces of the frame 11 along its thickness direction are both planes.

[0075] Among all the skeletons 11 , at least some of the skeletons 11 intersect with each other, that is, some of the skeletons 11 may intersect with each other, some of the skeletons 11 may be parallel, or all of the skeletons 11 may intersect with each other.

[0076] The airway 10a is a passage for external airflow and aerosol to pass through. Specifically, during the heating process of the aerosol generating substrate 10, the external airflow and the aerosol released by the aerosol generating substrate 10 when heated enter the airway 10a, and the airflow entering the airway 10a mixes with the aerosol and flows out of the airway 10a carrying the aerosol.

[0077] The first direction may be any direction of the aerosol generating substrate 10, for example, see Figure 1The first direction may be the height direction of the aerosol generating substrate 10. In other embodiments, the first direction may also be the length direction or the width direction of the aerosol generating substrate 10 (wherein the height direction, the length direction and the width direction are perpendicular to each other). The first direction may also be inclined relative to at least two of the length direction, the width direction and the height direction of the aerosol generating substrate 10.

[0078] For example, see Figure 1 The aerosol generating substrate 10 may be columnar, and the first direction may be the elongation direction (ie, height direction) of the aerosol generating substrate 10 .

[0079] The cross-sectional shape of the aerosol generating substrate 10 perpendicular to the first direction is not limited. For example, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The outer edges of the cross-section of the aerosol generating substrate 10 perpendicular to the first direction may be located on the same circle (ie Figure 2 On the circumference of the dotted circle C1) shown, the outer edge of the cross-section of the aerosol generating matrix 10 perpendicular to the first direction refers to the point or line located on the outermost side of the cross-section, and these points or lines are located on the circumference of the same circle, which is equivalent to the cross-section of the aerosol generating matrix 10 perpendicular to the first direction being roughly circular.

[0080] For example, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The outer edge of the cross section of the aerosol generating substrate 10 perpendicular to the first direction may also be located on the same waist circle (ie Figure 5 The dotted waist circle (C2) shown in the figure is a closed figure formed by bisecting a circle into two semicircular arcs through the center of the circle and translating them in opposite directions, and connecting the endpoints of the two semicircular arcs with two parallel lines of equal length. In other words, the cross section of the aerosol generating substrate 10 perpendicular to the first direction is roughly waist-shaped. The cross section of the aerosol generating substrate 10 perpendicular to the first direction is roughly waist-shaped, which can be easy to manufacture and store, and can also provide a relatively large atomization surface area in a relatively small space.

[0081] Exemplarily, the outer edge of the cross section of the aerosol generating substrate 10 perpendicular to the first direction may also be located on the circumference of the same ellipse, that is, the cross section of the aerosol generating substrate 10 perpendicular to the first direction is substantially elliptical.

[0082] The aerosol generating substrate 10 may be a symmetrical structure. For example, the aerosol generating substrate 10 may be a centrally symmetrical structure with respect to a center line extending along the first direction, or an axially symmetrical structure with respect to an axis perpendicular to the first direction.

[0083] The aerosol generating substrate 10 may also have an asymmetric structure. For example, the cross-sectional shape of the aerosol generating substrate 10 perpendicular to the first direction may be an asymmetric structure, or all the airways 10a on the aerosol generating substrate 10 may be asymmetricly distributed.

[0084] The first air channel 10a1 is located outside the aerosol-generating substrate 10, that is, the first air channel 10a1 is located on the outer surface of the aerosol-generating substrate 10, and the cross section of the first air channel 10a1 is a non-closed shape.

[0085] The number of the first air passages 10a1 may be one or more.

[0086] The first air channel 10a1 is constructed by a skeleton 11, and at least a portion of the outer surface of the skeleton 11 constituting the first air channel 10a1 on one side in the thickness direction thereof constitutes a side wall of the first air channel 10a1.

[0087] The first air channel 10a1 can extend the airflow path and increase the flow speed of the airflow in the aerosol generating matrix 10, thereby increasing the impact force of the airflow and allowing the aerosol to be evenly mixed. At the same time, by combining at least two straight plate-shaped skeletons 11 to form the first air channel 10a1, the side wall of the first air channel 10a1 can have a relatively large surface area, and the airflow in the first air channel 10a1 can be fully in contact with the side wall of the first air channel 10a1, thereby improving the heat exchange capacity between the airflow in the first air channel 10a1 and the aerosol generating matrix 10, and further improving the extraction efficiency and uniformity of the aerosol in the aerosol generating matrix 10. The aerosol generating matrix 10 of the embodiment of the present application can better improve the user's inhalation experience.

[0088] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 8 , Fig.11 and Fig.12 The aerosol generating matrix 10 may have both the first air channel 10a1 and the second air channel 10a2, wherein the second air channel 10a2 is located inside the aerosol generating matrix 10. That is, the skeletons 11 may be combined to form the second air channel 10a2 inside the aerosol generating matrix 10.

[0089] The second air channel 10a2 is located inside the aerosol generating matrix 10, which means that the second air channel 10a2 is surrounded by the matrix material, that is, the inner side of the second air channel 10a2 is all matrix material, and the cross section of the second air channel 10a2 is a closed shape.

[0090] The number of the second air passages 10a2 may be one or more.

[0091] The cross-sectional shape of the second air passage 10a2 may be a polygon (including but not limited to Figure 1 The square shown, Figure 3 The prism shown, Fig.12 The cross-sectional shape of the second air passage 10a2 may also be a triangle or a trapezoid. Fig.11 The circle shown ( Fig.11 The end faces of the mutually adjacent ends of the skeletons 11 are arcuate surfaces, and these arcuate surfaces are jointly arranged to form a second air passage 10a2 with a circular cross-section.

[0092] See also Figures 1 to 6 , the cross-sectional shape of the first air passage 10a1 may be a portion of the cross-sectional shape of the second air passage 10a2 air passage 10a.

[0093] The cross-sectional shape of the first air channel 10a1 may also be other regular or irregular polygonal shapes.

[0094] The second air channel 10a2 can also extend the airflow path and increase the flow speed of the airflow in the aerosol generating substrate 10, thereby increasing the impact force of the airflow and enabling the aerosol to be evenly mixed. At the same time, the aerosol generating substrate 10 is provided with the first air channel 10a1 and the second air channel 10a2 at the same time, which can increase the porosity of the aerosol generating substrate 10 (i.e., the percentage of the sum of the volumes of the first air channel 10a1 and the second air channel 10a2 to the total volume of the aerosol generating substrate 10), which is conducive to improving the consistency of aerosol extraction and release.

[0095] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The outer edge of the cross section of the aerosol generating substrate 10 perpendicular to the first direction is located on the circumference of the same circle. The interior of the aerosol generating substrate 10 has a plurality of second air channels 10a2, and the cross-sectional shape of each second air channel 10a2 can be square.

[0096] The square second air channel 10a2 can make full use of the internal space of the aerosol generating matrix 10 whose cross-sectional shape is roughly circular, so that as many second air channels 10a2 as possible can be arranged inside the aerosol generating matrix 10. Thus, the porosity of the aerosol generating matrix 10 can be maximized, which is more conducive to improving the consistency of aerosol extraction and release.

[0097] Furthermore, for the square second air channel 10a2, the sum of the surface areas S1 of the side walls of all the first air channels 10a1 can account for 0.5% to 30% (including the endpoint values) of the sum of the surface areas S of the side walls of all the air channels 10a, that is, S1 / S = 0.5% to 30%. For example, S1 / S can be 0.5%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 30%, etc.

[0098] The sum of the surface areas S1 of the side walls of all the first air channels 10a1 accounts for 0.5% to 30% of the sum of the surface areas S of the side walls of all the air channels 10a, so that the first air channels 10a1 and the second air channels 10a2 can be distributed relatively evenly. After the aerosol generating matrix 10 is heated, rapid heat transfer can be achieved to achieve rapid release of aerosol, thereby significantly improving the aerosol generation efficiency.

[0099] In addition, by controlling the sizes of the first air channel 10a1 and the square second air channel 10a2, the suction resistance of the aerosol generating matrix 10 can be adjusted and the release amount of the aerosol can be changed to meet different inhalation requirements.

[0100] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The outer edge of the cross section of the aerosol generating substrate 10 perpendicular to the first direction is located on the circumference of the same circle, and the interior of the aerosol generating substrate 10 has a plurality of second air channels 10a2, and the cross-sectional shape of each second air channel 10a2 may also be a rhombus.

[0101] The diamond-shaped second air channel 10a2 can also make full use of the internal space of the aerosol generating matrix 10 whose cross-sectional shape is roughly circular, so that as many second air channels 10a2 as possible can be arranged inside the aerosol generating matrix 10. In this way, the porosity of the aerosol generating matrix 10 can be maximized, which is more conducive to improving the consistency of aerosol extraction and release.

[0102] Furthermore, for the diamond-shaped second air channel 10a2, the sum of the surface areas S1 of the side walls of all the first air channels 10a1 can account for 0.5% to 50% (including the endpoint values) of the sum of the surface areas S of the side walls of all the air channels 10a, that is, S1 / S = 0.5% to 50%. For example, S1 / S can be 0.5%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, etc.

[0103] The sum of the surface areas S1 of the side walls of all the first air channels 10a1 accounts for 0.5% to 50% of the sum of the surface areas S of the side walls of all the air channels 10a, so that the first air channels 10a1 and the second air channels 10a2 can be distributed relatively evenly. After the aerosol generating matrix 10 is heated, rapid heat transfer can be achieved to achieve rapid release of aerosol, thereby significantly improving the aerosol generation efficiency.

[0104] In addition, by controlling the sizes of the first air channel 10a1 and the diamond-shaped second air channel 10a2, the suction resistance of the aerosol generating matrix 10 can be adjusted and the release amount of the aerosol can be changed to meet different inhalation requirements.

[0105] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5The outer edge of the cross section of the aerosol generating substrate 10 perpendicular to the first direction is located on the circumference of the same waist circle, and the interior of the aerosol generating substrate 10 has a plurality of second air channels 10a2, and the cross-sectional shape of each second air channel 10a2 can be square.

[0106] The square second air channel 10a2 can also make full use of the internal space of the aerosol generating matrix 10 whose cross-sectional shape is roughly oval, so that as many second air channels 10a2 as possible can be arranged inside the aerosol generating matrix 10. In this way, the porosity of the aerosol generating matrix 10 can be increased as much as possible, which is more conducive to improving the consistency of aerosol extraction and release.

[0107] Furthermore, for the square second air channel 10a2, the sum of the surface areas S1 of the side walls of all the first air channels 10a1 may account for 0.5% to 40% (including the endpoint values) of the sum of the surface areas S of the side walls of all the air channels 10a, that is, S1 / S = 0.5% to 40%. For example, S1 / S may be 0.5%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 30%, 40%, etc.

[0108] The sum of the surface areas S1 of the side walls of all the first air channels 10a1 accounts for 0.5% to 40% of the sum of the surface areas S of the side walls of all the air channels 10a, so that the first air channels 10a1 and the second air channels 10a2 can be distributed relatively evenly. After the aerosol generating matrix 10 is heated, rapid heat transfer can be achieved to achieve rapid release of aerosol, thereby significantly improving the aerosol generation efficiency.

[0109] In addition, by controlling the sizes of the first air channel 10a1 and the square second air channel 10a2, the suction resistance of the aerosol generating matrix 10 can be adjusted and the release amount of the aerosol can be changed to meet different inhalation requirements.

[0110] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 The outer edge of the cross section of the aerosol generating substrate 10 perpendicular to the first direction is located on the circumference of the same waist circle, and the interior of the aerosol generating substrate 10 has a plurality of second air channels 10a2, and the cross-sectional shape of each second air channel 10a2 can be a rhombus.

[0111] The diamond-shaped second air channel 10a2 can also make full use of the internal space of the aerosol generating matrix 10 whose cross-sectional shape is roughly oval, so that as many second air channels 10a2 as possible can be arranged inside the aerosol generating matrix 10. In this way, the porosity of the aerosol generating matrix 10 can be increased as much as possible, which is more conducive to improving the consistency of aerosol extraction and release.

[0112] Furthermore, for the diamond-shaped second air channel 10a2, the sum of the surface areas S1 of the side walls of all the first air channels 10a1 can account for 0.5% to 60% (including the endpoint values) of the sum of the surface areas S of the side walls of all the air channels 10a, that is, S1 / S = 0.5% to 60%. For example, S1 / S can be 0.5%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, etc.

[0113] The sum of the surface areas S1 of the side walls of all the first air channels 10a1 accounts for 0.5% to 60% of the sum of the surface areas S of the side walls of all the air channels 10a, so that the first air channels 10a1 and the second air channels 10a2 can be distributed relatively evenly. After the aerosol generating matrix 10 is heated, rapid heat transfer can be achieved to achieve rapid release of aerosol, thereby significantly improving the aerosol generation efficiency.

[0114] In addition, by controlling the sizes of the first air channel 10a1 and the diamond-shaped second air channel 10a2, the suction resistance of the aerosol generating matrix 10 can be adjusted and the release amount of the aerosol can be changed to meet different inhalation requirements.

[0115] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , each skeleton 11 is combined to form a skeleton structure 11A having a first outer surface 11A1, a second outer surface 11A2 and a third outer surface 11A3, the first outer surface 11A1 and the second outer surface 11A2 are respectively located at opposite ends of the skeleton structure 11A along the first direction, and the third outer surface 11A3 is located between the first outer surface 11A1 and the second outer surface 11A2. The third outer surface 11A3 has a first area 11A31 and a second area 11A32, and the aerosol generating substrate can also be provided with an outer skin 12, the outer skin 12 is covered in the first area 11A31, and each first air channel 10a1 is located in the second area 11A32. That is, only a part of the outer surface of the aerosol generating substrate 10 is provided with the first air channel 10a1.

[0116] The number of the first areas 11A31 and the second areas 11A32 can be set as needed, that is, the number of the first areas 11A31 can be one or more, and the number of the second areas 11A32 can be one or more.

[0117] See also Figure 7 , the first region 11A31 and the second region 11A32 may extend from the first outer surface 11A1 to the second outer surface 11A2, respectively.

[0118] See also Figure 8 , the first area 11A31 is located on one side of the second area 11A32 along the first direction.

[0119] Providing the outer skin 12 can increase the heat transfer efficiency of the aerosol generating matrix 10 from the outside to the inside or from the inside to the outside, so as to improve the stability of aerosol release.

[0120] Further, for an aerosol generating substrate 10 having an outer skin 12 and a plurality of second air channels 10a2 therein, the sum of the surface areas S1 of the side walls of all the first air channels 10a1 may account for 0.5% to 15% (including the end value) of the sum of the surface areas S of the side walls of all the air channels 10a, that is, S1 / S=0.5% to 15%. For example, S1 / S may be 0.5%, 5%, 10%, 15%, etc. Figure 7 and Figure 8 The airway 10a corresponding to the location where the outer skin 12 is set (ie, the airway 10a that is blocked by the outer skin 12 and not exposed to the outside of the aerosol generating matrix 10) can be regarded as the second airway 10a2.

[0121] On the premise of providing the outer skin 12, the sum of the surface areas S1 of the side walls of all the first air channels 10a1 accounts for 0.5% to 15% of the sum of the surface areas S of the side walls of all the air channels 10a, so that the first air channels 10a1 and the second air channels 10a2 can be distributed relatively evenly, and the aerosol generating matrix 10 can achieve rapid release of aerosol through rapid heat transfer after being heated, thereby significantly improving the aerosol generation efficiency.

[0122] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The third outer surface 11A3 may also be exposed, that is, the aerosol generating substrate 10 may also be without the outer skin 12, and any area of ​​the third outer surface 11A3 will not be blocked by the outer skin 12.

[0123] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 9 to 11 The cross-sectional shape of the aerosol generating substrate 10 perpendicular to the first direction may be radially extending from the center to the surroundings, and each skeleton 11 is constructed in a radial shape, and a first airway 10a1 is formed between two adjacent skeletons 11.

[0124] The aerosol generating substrate 10 having a radial cross-sectional shape can reduce the overall weight of the aerosol generating substrate 10 , increase the surface area of ​​the side wall of the first air channel 10 a 1 , and further improve the utilization rate of the aerosol generating substrate 10 .

[0125] Please continue reading Figures 9 to 11 The interior of the radial aerosol generating substrate 10 may be as follows Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the second airway 10a2 is not provided, and the Fig.11 The second air passage 10a2 is shown to be provided.

[0126] For the aerosol generating matrix 10 provided with the second air channel 10a2, the sum S1 of the surface areas of the side walls of all the first air channels 10a1 may be greater than or equal to 50% of the sum S of the surface areas of the side walls of all the air channels 10a, and less than 90%, that is, 50% ≤ S1 / S < 90%. For example, S1 / S may be 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 89%, etc.

[0127] The sum S1 of the surface areas of the side walls of all the first air channels 10a1 is greater than or equal to 50% of the sum S of the surface areas of the side walls of all the air channels 10a, and less than 90%. This can increase the proportion of the surface area of ​​the side walls of the first air channels 10a1, so as to facilitate rapid heat transfer through the side walls of the first air channels 10a1 after the aerosol generating matrix 10 is heated, thereby enabling the aerosol generating matrix 10 to quickly generate aerosol.

[0128] In one embodiment, please refer to Fig.12 , for ease of description, we can Fig.12 The skeletons 11 in the structure are respectively referred to as the first skeleton 11′ and the second skeleton 11″, and the number of the first skeleton 11′ and the second skeleton 11″ are both multiple. The multiple first skeletons 11′ surround a skeleton body 11B having a hollow space inside, one end of each second skeleton 11″ along the second direction is located in the hollow space, and the other end of each second skeleton 11″ along the second direction is located outside the skeleton body 11B, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. Each second skeleton 11″ separates a second airway 10a2 in the hollow space, and the first airway 10a1 is formed between the parts of two adjacent second skeletons 11″ located outside the skeleton body 11B. In other words, multiple skeletons 11 can be combined to form a special-shaped structure.

[0129] The skeleton 11 of the aerosol generating matrix 10 can form a stable supporting structure, so that the aerosol generating matrix 10 is not prone to collapse, deformation and other problems.

[0130] For further information, see Fig.12 The aerosol generating matrix 10 can be provided with four first skeletons 11' and four second skeletons 11", the cross-sectional shape of the skeleton body 11B perpendicular to the first direction is a square, each second skeleton 11" is connected at one end located in the hollow space, and each second skeleton 11" extends from the position of the skeleton body 11B corresponding to each corner of the square to the outside of the skeleton body 11B. That is to say, the four second skeletons 11" can separate the second airway 10a2 with a triangular cross-sectional shape, thereby better improving the structural stability of the aerosol generating matrix 10.

[0131] It should be noted that the number of the first skeleton 11′ and the second skeleton 11″ is not limited to four, and the cross-sectional shape of the second air duct 10a2 is not limited to a triangle. The number and combination of the first skeleton 11′ and the second skeleton 11″ can be adjusted as needed, as long as the multiple first skeletons 11′ can enclose a skeleton body 11B with a hollow space inside, each second skeleton 11″ separates the second air duct 10a2 in the hollow space, and the first air duct 10a1 is formed between the parts of the two adjacent second skeletons 11″ located outside the skeleton body 11B.

[0132] In addition, the sum S1 of the surface areas of the side walls of all the first air channels 10a1 may be greater than or equal to 30% of the sum S of the surface areas of the side walls of all the air channels 10a, and less than 90%, that is, 30% ≤ S1 / S < 90%. For example, S1 / S may be 30%, 40%, 50%, 70%, 89%, etc. Thus, the proportion of the surface area of ​​the side walls of the first air channels 10a1 can also be increased, so as to facilitate rapid heat transfer through the side walls of the first air channels 10a1 after the aerosol generating matrix 10 is heated, thereby enabling the aerosol generating matrix 10 to quickly generate aerosols.

[0140] The material of the cooling section 32 includes, but is not limited to, one or more combinations of PE, PLA, PBAT, PP, acetate fiber, and acrylic fiber materials.

[0141] The materials of the cooling section 32 and the filtering section 31 may be the same or different.
