Aerosol generation device and heater for aerosol generation device

An aerosol generation device comprising:

• a heater comprising:
• a plurality of segments combined together to form an insertion portion into which an object-to-be-heated is inserted;
• one or more electrically conductive tracks printed on one surface of each of the plurality of segments and disposed toward the object-to-be-heated;
• and
• an elastic member configured to surround at least a part of the plurality of segments;
• and
• a controller configured to heat the plurality of segments to different temperatures by controlling power supply to the one or more electrically conductive tracks.

A method of manufacturing a heater for an aerosol generation device, the method comprising:

• printing one or more electrically conductive tracks on one surface of each of a plurality of segments;
• placing the plurality of segments such that the one or more electrically conductive tracks face each other;
• installing a lower support portion at a lower end of the plurality of segments to support the plurality of segments;
• surrounding at least some of the plurality of segments with an elastic member;
• and
• installing an upper support portion at an upper end of the plurality of segments, the upper support portion comprising one or more wing portions bound to the lower support portion.
