[0062] 1 , an embodiment of the present application provides an aerosol generating system, which includes an aerosol generating device and an aerosol generating article 1 . The aerosol generating device 2 is used to provide energy to enable the aerosol generating article 1 to generate aerosol.
[0063] 1 to 4 , an embodiment of the present application provides an aerosol-generating product 1 , which includes a shell 12 and an aerosol-forming substrate 11 retained in the shell 12 . The aerosol-forming substrate 11 can generate volatile substances, which can form an aerosol after combining with air.
[0064] In one embodiment, the aerosol-forming substrate 11 is capable of releasing volatile compounds that can form an aerosol when heated. In one embodiment, the aerosol-forming substrate 11 is capable of releasing volatile compounds that can form an aerosol at room temperature. In one embodiment, the aerosol-generating article 1 is removably connectable to the aerosol-generating device 2. The aerosol-generating article 1 may be disposable or reusable.
[0065] The aerosol-forming substrate 11 may comprise a solid aerosol-forming substrate. The solid aerosol-forming substrate may comprise a tobacco-containing material containing volatile tobacco flavour compounds that are released from the aerosol-forming substrate upon heating. The solid aerosol-forming substrate may comprise a non-tobacco material. The solid aerosol-forming substrate may comprise a tobacco-containing material as well as a non-tobacco material.
[0066] Aerosol forming matrix 11 can comprise liquid aerosol forming matrix. Liquid aerosol forming matrix can comprise liquid containing tobacco material containing volatile tobacco flavor components, can also be the liquid comprising non-tobacco material. Liquid aerosol forming matrix can comprise water, solvent, ethanol, plant extract, spices, flavoring agent or vitamin mixture etc., spices can comprise betel nut extract, menthol, peppermint, spearmint oil, various fruity fragrance components etc., but is not limited to this. Flavoring agent can comprise the component that can provide various fragrance or local flavor to the user. Vitamin mixture can be the mixture that is mixed with at least one of vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C and vitamin E, but is not limited to this.
[0067] In the embodiment shown in FIG1 , the aerosol-generating device 2 includes a receiving chamber 21, into which the aerosol-generating article 1 can be received. The aerosol-generating device 2 also includes a mouthpiece 22 connected to the receiving chamber 21. The mouthpiece 22 can be held between the lips of a user. The user inhales the aerosol generated by the aerosol-generating article 1 by sucking on the mouthpiece 22.
[0068] Referring to FIG. 1 , a housing 12 according to one embodiment of the present application includes an air inlet 123, an air outlet 124, and an air passage connecting the air inlet 123 and the air outlet 124. During inhalation, air flows into the interior of the housing 12 through the air inlet 123, then flows along the air passage within the housing 12, and finally flows out of the housing 12 through the air outlet 124. Volatile substances generated by the aerosol-forming substrate 11 can enter the air passage, combine with air there, and form an aerosol, which then flows along the air passage toward the air outlet 124.
[0069] In order to prevent the condensate formed by the condensation of aerosol from accumulating in the airway, the airway can have multiple airways and the multiple airways are independent of each other, so that one airway only transmits the aerosol formed based on part of the aerosol-forming matrix 11, and the aerosol formed by the remaining aerosol-forming matrix 11 is transmitted through other airways, thereby reducing the total amount of aerosol transmitted by a single airway, and then reducing the amount of condensate accumulated in the single airway. Therefore, it can prevent the condensate from affecting the aerosol-forming matrix 11 that has not yet produced volatile substances or can continue to produce volatile substances due to its large amount, and help ensure that the aerosol-forming matrix 11 is fully heated and produces volatile substances fully or in a layered manner as preset, thereby ensuring the taste.
[0070] Specifically, referring to FIG4 , the air passage includes at least a first air passage 125 and a second air passage 126. The first air passage 125 and the second air passage 126 are independently connected to the air inlet end 123 and the air outlet end 124 of the housing 12. The aerosol-forming substrate 11 includes at least a first aerosol-forming substrate 111 and a second aerosol-forming substrate 112. The volatile substances generated by the first aerosol-forming substrate 111 and the volatile substances generated by the second aerosol-forming substrate 112 enter the first air passage 125 and the second air passage 126, respectively. In other words, the first air passage 125 is capable of receiving and transmitting the volatile substances and aerosol generated by the first aerosol-forming substrate 111 to the air outlet end 124, and the second air passage 126 is capable of receiving and transmitting the volatile substances and aerosol generated by the second aerosol-forming substrate 112 to the air outlet end 124.
[0071] In one embodiment, the first aerosol-forming substrate 111 and the second aerosol-forming substrate 112 exist independently of each other, and in this embodiment, the first aerosol-forming substrate 111 and the second aerosol-forming substrate 112 can be exactly the same, or the first aerosol-forming substrate 111 and the second aerosol-forming substrate 112 can be different, for example, the two can have different flavors, different ingredients, different shapes or different sizes, etc.
[0072] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the first aerosol-forming substrate and the second aerosol-forming substrate are not independent of each other, but are different parts of the same aerosol-forming substrate.
[0073] 2 , the air inlet end 123 of the housing 12 includes a first air inlet 1231 and a second air inlet 1232 that are independent of each other. Thus, the first air inlet 1231 and the second air inlet 1232 are spaced apart from each other. The first air inlet 1231 communicates with the first air passage 125, and the second air inlet 1232 communicates with the second air passage 1232. During inhalation, air enters the first air passage 125 and the second air passage 126 through the first air inlet 1231 and the second air inlet 1232, respectively.
[0074] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the air inlet end of the shell includes a common air inlet, which is connected to the first air duct and the second air duct at the same time. During suction, the air enters the common air inlet and then splits into multiple paths and flows into the first air duct and the second air duct respectively.
[0075] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 3, the air outlet end 124 of the shell 12 includes a first air outlet 1241 and a second air outlet 1242 that are independent of each other, so the first air outlet 1241 and the second air outlet 1242 are spaced apart from each other, wherein the first air outlet 1241 is connected to the first air channel 125, and the second air outlet 1242 is connected to the second air channel 126. During inhalation, the aerosol in the first air channel 125 flows out of the shell 12 through the first air outlet 1241, and the aerosol in the second air channel 126 flows out of the shell 12 through the second air outlet 1242.
[0076] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the air outlet end of the shell includes a common air outlet, which is connected to the first air duct and the second air duct at the same time. During inhalation, the aerosol in the first air duct flows out of the shell through the common air outlet, and the aerosol in the second air duct flows out of the shell through the common air outlet.
[0077] In order to facilitate the placement of the aerosol-forming substrate 11 within the housing 12 and the arrangement of the mutually independent first air channel 125 and second air channel 126 within the housing 12, the housing 12 may be divided into at least two parts. Specifically, the housing 12 includes a first housing 121 and a second housing 122, which are connected to each other, and the first air channel 125 and the second air channel 126 are formed between the first housing 121 and the second housing 122. In order to ensure that the gas in the first air channel 125 and the second air channel 126 does not leak through the connection between the first housing 121 and the second housing 122, the connection between the first housing 121 and the second housing 122 may be a sealed connection, for example, a sealing adhesive may be provided between the first housing 121 and the second housing 122, or the first housing 121 and the second housing 122 may be tightly fitted or have an interference fit.
[0078] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 4-9 , the first housing 121 includes a first base 1211, the second housing 122 includes a second base 1221 spaced apart from the first base 1211, and the first air channel 125 and the second air channel 126 are located between the first base 1211 and the second base 1221. The housing 12 also includes a first convex beam 127 extending from the air inlet end 125 to the air outlet end 126. The first air channel 125 and the second air channel 126 are located on opposite sides of the first convex beam 127. The first convex beam 127 separates and isolates the first and second air channels 125, 126 from each other, preventing the airflows in the first and second air channels 125, 126 from intersecting. The first convex beam 127 may partially define the boundary of the first air channel 125. The first convex beam 127 may also partially define the boundary of the second air channel 126.
[0079] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 4 and 7-9, the housing 12 further includes a second convex beam 128 extending from the air inlet end 123 to the air outlet end 124. The second convex beam 128 connects the first base 1211 and the second base 1221. The first air channel 125 is located between the second convex beam 128 and the first convex beam 127. The second convex beam 128 may define a portion of the boundary of the first air channel 125. The second convex beam 128 and the first convex beam 127 may be parallel to each other.
[0080] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 4 and 7-9, the housing 12 further includes a third convex beam 129 extending from the air inlet end 123 to the air outlet end 124. The third convex beam 129 connects the first base 1211 and the second base 1221. The second air passage 126 is located between the third convex beam 129 and the first convex beam 127. The third convex beam 129 may partially define the boundary of the second air passage 126. The third convex beam 129 and the first convex beam 127 may be parallel to each other.
[0081] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 5 to 7, the shell 12 also includes a third connecting wall 1214. After the first shell 121 and the second shell 122 are connected to each other, the second protruding beam 128 can interfere with the third connecting wall 1214 in the width direction of the shell 12. For example, the second protruding beam 128 can be squeezed or interference fit with the third connecting wall 1214 in the width direction of the shell 12. The interaction force generated by the interference helps to maintain the connection between the first shell 121 and the second shell 122.
[0082] In one embodiment, the third connecting wall 1214 extends from the air inlet end 123 to the air outlet end 124 , connects the first base 1211 and the second base 1221 , and the first air channel 125 is located between the third connecting wall 1214 and the first convex beam 127 .
[0083] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 5 to 7, the shell 12 also includes a fourth connecting wall 1215. After the first shell 121 and the second shell 122 are connected to each other, the third protruding beam 129 can interfere with the fourth connecting wall 1215 in the width direction of the shell 12. For example, the third protruding beam 129 can be squeezed or interference fit with the fourth connecting wall 1215 in the width direction of the shell 12. The interaction force generated by the interference helps to maintain the connection between the first shell 121 and the second shell 122.
[0084] In one embodiment, the fourth connecting wall 1215 extends from the air inlet end 123 to the air outlet end 124 , connects the first base 1211 and the second base 1221 , and the second air channel 126 is located between the fourth connecting wall 1215 and the first convex beam 127 .

The aerosol formed by the volatile substances generated by a single first aerosol-forming substrate 111 or a single second aerosol-forming substrate 112 can be configured to meet the requirements of a single puff. Therefore, heating each first aerosol-forming substrate 111 and each second aerosol-forming substrate 112 independently in sequence can ensure consistent fullness with each puff.

[0124] It should be noted that in other embodiments, multiple first aerosol-forming substrates may be heated simultaneously to cause the multiple first aerosol-forming substrates to simultaneously generate volatile substances, or at least one first aerosol-forming substrate and at least one second aerosol-forming substrate may be heated simultaneously.
[0125] In one embodiment, the heating element 13 includes a sensor capable of generating heat in a changing magnetic field. Therefore, there is no need to use wires to electrically connect the heating element 13 in the aerosol generating product 1 and the power supply component in the aerosol generating device 2, which helps to remove the aerosol generating product 1 from the aerosol generating device 2 and replace it with a new aerosol generating product 1.
[0126] The susceptor may comprise metal or carbon. In one embodiment, the susceptor may comprise a ferromagnetic material, such as ferrite, ferromagnetic steel, or stainless steel. In one embodiment, the susceptor comprises a nickel-iron alloy. In one embodiment, the susceptor comprises 400 series stainless steel, including 410, 420, or 430 grade stainless steel.
[0127] The first heating element 131 may include a susceptor, and the second heating element 132 may include a susceptor.

Of course, the first heating element 131 and the second heating element 132 may be different.
[0128] In this regard, referring to FIG. 10 , the aerosol generating device 2 includes a magnetic field generator 23. The magnetic field generator 23 is electrically connected to a power supply assembly in the aerosol generating device 2. The power supply assembly is configured to provide a varying current to the magnetic field generator 23, so that the magnetic field generator 23 generates a varying magnetic field. In one embodiment, the magnetic field generator 23 is capable of generating a varying magnetic field between 1 and 30 MHz, for example, between 2 and 10 MHz, and for example, between 5 and 7 MHz.
[0129] When the aerosol-generating article 1 is coupled to the receiving chamber 21 of the aerosol-generating device 2 , the corresponding susceptors in the aerosol-generating article 1 are within the magnetic field coverage of the corresponding magnetic field generator 23 .
[0130] In one embodiment, the magnetic field generator 23 comprises a helical coil. In the embodiment shown in FIG10 , the magnetic field generator 23 comprises a disc coil.

[0132] In order to reduce processing costs, referring to Figures 8 and 9, the first shell 121 or the second shell 122 is constructed into a sheet with uniform thickness. For example, the second shell 122 is constructed into a sheet with uniform thickness. The above-mentioned accommodating grooves, convex beams, air ducts or connecting walls are all formed on the first shell 121, so that only a more complex mold design is required for the first shell 121, thereby reducing the mold opening cost.
[0133] It should be noted that the configuration of the first shell 121 or the second shell 122 as a sheet with uniform thickness is optional but not mandatory. In the embodiment shown in FIG5-7 , the first receiving groove 1216 and the second receiving groove 1217 are formed on the first base 1211 of the first shell 121, thereby retaining the first aerosol-forming substrate 111 and the second aerosol-forming substrate 112 on the first shell 121. The first convex beam 127, the second convex beam 128, and the third convex beam 129 are formed on the second base 1221 of the second shell 122, thereby forming the first air channel 125 and the second air channel 127 on the second shell 122. The provision of the convex beams on the second base 1221 helps to increase the strength of the second base 1221 and prevents deformation of the second shell 122 during the assembly of the first and second shells 121, 122.
[0134] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 2 and 3 , the housing 12 is configured to be flat, with its width being greater than twice its thickness. As shown in Figures 6 to 9 , the first aerosol-forming substrate 111 and the second aerosol-forming substrate 112 may be configured to be sheet-shaped to reduce the thickness of the housing 12.
[0135] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 2 and 3 , the housing 12 has a non-centrally symmetrical shape, and the orientation of the housing 12 for assembly into the aerosol generating device 2 is determined by the non-centrally symmetrical shape of the housing 12. In the embodiment shown in Figures 2 and 3 , the housing 12 has a foolproof structure 14. The foolproof structure 14 can make the housing 12 roughly rectangular with one corner missing, or can make the housing 12 have another non-centrally symmetrical shape.
[0136] In order to ensure that the aerosol in the first airway 125 is not excessively diluted when the first aerosol-forming substrate 111 is in operation and that the concentration of the aerosol in the first airway 125 meets the preset requirements, the first airway 125 can have a smaller ventilation volume. Specifically, in one example, the ventilation cross-sectional area of the first airway 125 is less than or equal to 4 mm. 2 , for example, about 2.2 mm 2 In one example, in the thickness direction of the shell 12, the size of the first air channel 125 is less than or equal to 0.5 mm, for example, about 0.35 mm; in one example, in the width direction of the shell 12, the size of the first air channel 125 is less than or equal to 10 mm, for example, about 6.3 mm. In the embodiments shown in Figures 7 and 9, in the thickness direction of the shell 12, the size of the first air channel 125 is related to the depth of the protruding beam toward the first shell 121 or the second shell 122; in the width direction of the shell 12, the size of the first air channel 125 is related to the distance between two adjacent protruding beams. The ventilation cross-sectional area of the first air channel 125 is related to the size of the first air channel 125 in the width direction of the shell 12 and the thickness direction of the shell 12.
[0137] The second air passage 126 may have substantially the same size as the first air passage 125 , or the second air passage 126 may have substantially the same ventilation cross-sectional area as the first air passage 125 .
[0138] In order to prevent the aerosol from condensing in the first air channel 125 to form condensate, the first air channel 125 can be set to be a roughly straight air channel, or the first air channel 125 can be set to be an air channel with uniform size in the width direction of the shell 12, or the first air channel 125 can be set to be an air channel with uniform size in the thickness direction of the shell 12.
[0139] When the air inlet end 123 of the housing 12 has a first air inlet 1231 and a second air inlet 1232 that are independent of each other, the aerosol generating device 2 can be provided with two independent air holes. The two air holes 24 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the first air inlet 1231 and the second air inlet 1232. External air enters the aerosol generating device 2 through the two air holes 24, and then independently enters the first air inlet 1231 and the second air inlet 1232.
[0140] The above-mentioned aerosol-generating product 1 and aerosol-generating system include a shell 12 and a first aerosol-forming substrate 111 and a second aerosol-forming substrate 112 retained inside the shell 12. The shell 12 has an air inlet end 123 and an air outlet end 124, and the shell 12 has a first air duct 125 and a second air duct 126 inside. The first air duct 125 and the second air duct 126 are independently connected to the air inlet end 123 and the air outlet end 124 respectively. The volatile substances generated by the first aerosol-forming substrate 111 and the volatile substances generated by the second aerosol-forming substrate 112 enter the first air duct 125 and the second air duct 126 respectively. By using the first air channel 125 and the second air channel 126 to respectively conduct the volatile substances produced by the first aerosol-forming substrate 111 and the second aerosol-forming substrate 112, it is possible to prevent condensation from accumulating in large quantities in one air channel, thereby effectively preventing the condensation from clogging the air channel and affecting the production of volatile substances by the aerosol-forming substrate 11 connected to the air channel. Therefore, it helps to ensure the taste and prevent the air channel from being blocked.
