Abstract
A heater for an aerosol generating device includes a substrate and a plane heating element formed on one surface of the substrate, wherein the plane heating element includes an electrically conductive track pattern including a sensor seating region formed of a planar track on which an undersurface of a temperature sensor is configured to be seated.
Claims15
A heater for an aerosol generating device, the heater comprising:
- a flexible substrate formed of an insulating material;
- and
- a plane heating element which is configured to be heated by power supplied from a battery to generate aerosols and is formed on one surface of the flexible substrate,
- wherein the plane heating element is connected in series between two electrodes, and comprises an electrically conductive track pattern that is formed along a zigzag-shaped path and that comprises linear sub-tracks arranged side by side and bridge tracks connected to the linear sub-tracks, between the linear sub-tracks, and
- wherein the electrically conductive track pattern further comprises a sensor seating region connected in series between a first linear sub-track and a second linear sub-track which are adjacently arranged from among the linear sub-tracks, the sensor seating region formed of a planar track having an area on which an undersurface of a temperature sensor is configured to be seated.
