Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of aerosol generation, and in particular to a heat-without-combustion device and an aerosol generation system. Background Art

[0002] Unlike traditional combustion-based cigarettes, heat-not-burn devices heat tobacco at low temperatures, releasing nicotine and smoke. This low-temperature heating typically occurs at around 300°C, significantly lower than the 800°C (plus) combustion temperature of combustion-based cigarettes. When heated at low temperatures, the smoke released by tobacco contains far fewer harmful substances than that of combustion-based cigarettes, significantly reducing the harmful effects of tobacco products on the human body.

[0003] In the related art, the heat-not-burn device has a heating chamber with an upward opening. When inhaling, the user needs to insert the aerosol product into the heating chamber from top to bottom. After inhalation is completed, the user needs to pull out the discarded aerosol product from the accommodating chamber. In the process of pulling out the aerosol product, debris and other substances are easily generated in the heating chamber. These substances remain in the heating chamber, causing inconvenience to the cleaning of the heat-not-burn device. Utility Model Content
