Abstract
An aerosol generating module according to various embodiments includes a heating unit and an atomizing unit disposed adjacent to the heating unit and including an aerosol forming substrate, wherein the heating unit includes a first reservoir including a first material, a second reservoir including a second material that generates heat by reacting with the first material, and a barrier plate disposed between the first reservoir and the second reservoir and formed of an impermeable material, and the aerosol forming substrate is heated by heat generated by mixing the first material and the second material.
Claims11
An aerosol generating module, comprising:
- a heating unit;
- and
- an atomizing unit disposed adjacent to the heating unit and comprising an aerosol forming substrate,
- wherein the heating unit comprises:
- a first reservoir comprising a first material;
- a second reservoir comprising a second material that generates heat by reacting with the first material;
- a barrier plate disposed between the first reservoir and the second reservoir and formed of an impermeable material;
- a first wall;
- a second wall disposed opposite to the first wall and disposed adjacent to the atomizing unit;
- and
- a barrier stick penetrating between the first wall and the second wall of the heating unit,
- wherein the barrier plate comprises a through-hole having a diameter corresponding to a diameter of the barrier stick;
- wherein when the barrier stick moves from the second wall toward the first wall, the first material and the second material are mixed, and
- wherein the aerosol forming substrate is heated by heat generated by the mixed first material and second material.
An aerosol generating device, comprising:
- a housing;
- a mouthpiece formed at one end of the housing;
- and
- an aerosol generating module comprised in the housing,
- wherein the aerosol generating module comprises:
- an atomizing unit configured to store an aerosol forming substrate;
- and
- a heating unit disposed adjacent to the atomizing unit and configured to heat the aerosol forming substrate,
- wherein the heating unit comprises:
- a first reservoir comprising a first material;
- a second reservoir comprising a second material that generates heat by reacting with the first material;
- a barrier plate disposed between the first reservoir and the second reservoir and formed of an impermeable material;
- a first wall faces the mouthpiece;
- a second wall disposed opposite to the first wall;
- and
- a barrier stick penetrating between the first wall and the second wall of the heating unit,
- wherein the barrier plate comprises a through-hole having a diameter corresponding to a diameter of the barrier stick;
- wherein when the barrier stick moves from the second wall toward the first wall, the first material and the second material are mixed,
- the aerosol generating device further comprises a push unit configured to push the barrier stick,
- when the aerosol generating module is inserted into the housing, the push unit pushes the barrier stick from the second wall toward the first wall, and thus, the first material and the second material are mixed through the through-hole, and
- wherein the aerosol forming substrate is heated by heat generated by the mixed first material and second material.
