[0027] 1 to 6 show a receptor 1 according to some embodiments of the present invention. The receptor 1 is used to generate heat under the action of a changing magnetic field. As shown in FIG. 1, the receptor 1 includes a side portion 11 and a ceiling portion 12. The side portion 11 is annularly disposed on the ceiling portion 12. The ceiling portion 12 is provided with a first air hole 121. The ceiling portion 12 can be disposed so as to extend from an inner wall of the side portion 11 toward a central axis of the side portion 11.
[0028] In some embodiments, the shape of the first air hole 121 may be a circular hole. The number of the first air hole 121 may be one. The one first air hole 121 is disposed coaxially with the central axis of the side portion 11. Combined with the air flow direction shown in FIG. 10, the air flow turns downward when it encounters the ceiling portion 12, so that the heat around the aerosol-generating substrate 101 at the ceiling portion of the receptor 1 can be increased without affecting the ventilation. This shortens the pre-heating time and improves the uniformity of the taste. Combined with FIG. 11, the distance between the inner wall of the side portion 11 and the central axis of the receptor 1 can be represented as A3, and the width of the ceiling portion 12 can be represented as A4. In some embodiments, the relationship between the width A4 of the ceiling portion 12 and the distance A3 between the inner wall of the side portion 11 and the central axis of the receptor 1 can be A4≦(5×A3) / 6. 2, in some other embodiments, the number of the first air holes 121 may be two. The two first air holes 121 are disposed on the ceiling 12 at an interval.

The side portion 11 is disposed in an annular shape between the ceiling portion 12 and the bottom portion 13. The bottom portion 13 is provided with a second air hole 131. In some embodiments, the shape of the second air hole 131 can be a circular hole. In some embodiments, the number of the first air hole 121 can be one, and the number of the second air hole 131 can be one. The one first air hole 121 and the one second air hole 131 are disposed coaxially with the central axis of the side portion 11. In combination with the air flow direction shown in FIG. 10, the air flow rising at the intake end branches into the side and the center when it encounters the bottom portion 13, so that the heat generated inside and outside the receptor 1 can be effectively utilized. In addition, the airflow turns back downward when it encounters the ceiling 12, so that the heat around the aerosol-generating substrate 101 at the ceiling of the receptor 1 can be increased, and the pre-heating time can be shortened. Combining FIG. 11, the width of the bottom 13 can be expressed as A5. In some embodiments, the relationship between the width A5 of the bottom 13 and the distance A3 between the inner wall of the side 11 and the central axis of the receptor 1 can be A5≦(5×A3) / 6. And / or the relationship between the width A4 of the ceiling 12 and the distance A3 between the inner wall of the side 11 and the central axis of the receptor 1 can be A4≦(5×A3) / 6. As shown in FIG. 4, in some other embodiments, the number of the first air holes 121 can be two, and the number of the second air holes 131 can be two. The two second air holes 131 are arranged to face the two first air holes 121.
[0030] As shown in FIG. 5, in some embodiments, the receptor 1 may only include a side portion 11 and a bottom portion 13. The side portion 11 is annularly disposed on the bottom portion 13. The bottom portion 13 is provided with a second air hole 131. The shape of the second air hole 131 may be a circular hole. The number of the second air hole 131 may be one. The single second air hole 131 is disposed coaxially with the central axis of the side portion 11. When the air flow rising at the air supply end encounters the bottom portion 13, it branches into the side and the center, so that the heat generated inside and outside the receptor 1 can be effectively utilized. Combining FIG. 11, in some embodiments, the relationship between the width A5 of the bottom portion 13 and the distance A3 between the inner wall of the side portion 11 and the central axis of the receptor 1 may be A5≦(5×A3) / 6. As shown in FIG. 6, in some other embodiments, the number of the second air holes 131 may be two. The two second air holes 131 are disposed at a distance from each other on the bottom 13 .
[0031] It can be understood that the number, shape, installation position, etc. of the first air holes 121 and the second air holes 131 in the above embodiment can be adjusted according to actual conditions, and are not limited herein.

[0034] In some embodiments, the side 11 includes at least one through hole penetrating from the inner wall to the outer wall, thereby increasing the energy transfer of the aerosol-generating substrate 101 inside and outside the receptor 1 to maintain a relatively balanced temperature.
[0035] 7, in some embodiments, the at least one through hole includes a slot 14a, and the length of the slot 14a extends along the circumferential direction of the side portion 11.
[0036] As shown in Fig. 8, in some embodiments, the at least one through hole includes a round hole 14b. The at least one through hole may include a plurality of through hole groups, and in this embodiment includes three through hole groups.

In some embodiments, the distance A2 between the outer wall of side 11 and the inner wall of housing 102 is less than or equal to the distance A3 between the inner wall of side 11 and the central axis of receptor 1.
[0041] The present invention further provides an aerosol generating device. As shown in Fig. 9 and Fig. 10, the aerosol generating device includes the above-mentioned aerosol generating product 10, an atomizer 20, and an electromagnetic induction coil 30. The atomizer 20 has a cavity for mounting the aerosol generating product 10, and the electromagnetic induction coil 30 surrounds the outside of the cavity. In some embodiments, the atomizer 20 further includes a support holder 201. The support holder 201 is installed in the cavity. And the electromagnetic induction coil 30 is installed outside the support holder 201. In some embodiments, the atomizer 20 further includes an electromagnetic shielding layer 202. The electromagnetic shielding layer 202 is installed outside the electromagnetic induction coil 30.
[0042] In some embodiments, the aerosol generating device further includes a power supply unit (not shown).

The aerosol generating product 10 is mounted in a cavity in the atomizer 20. An induction coil installed outside the cavity generates an alternating magnetic field under the action of a changing current, and the receptor 1 generates heat under the action of the changing magnetic field. During operation, the temperature of the receptor 1 is maintained at about 40-350°C. The aerosol generating substrate 101 covers the inside and outside of the receptor 1, so that the heat generated in the receptor 1 can be effectively transferred into the aerosol generating substrate 101. This reduces heat loss and improves the effective utilization rate of heat.
