Aerosol generation device with capacitive sensor and manufacturing method thereof

An aerosol generation device for consuming an aerosol generation substrate, wherein the aerosol generation device comprises a housing and a control unit, the housing having an outer layer comprising an elastically deformable area, and the control unit comprising:

• a printed circuit board having a plurality of electrical transmission lines for electrically connecting components thereon, and
• a capacitive sensor component arranged on the printed circuit board;
• wherein
• the printed circuit board is fixedly arranged below the elastically deformable area of the outer layer, with one side of the layer in the elastically deformable area facing the capacitive sensor component, and
• the outer layer is spaced apart from the capacitive sensor component such that when a user depresses the outer layer in the elastically deformable area, the capacitive sensor component is configured to sense a change in capacitance between the outer layer and the capacitive sensor component,
• wherein the control unit comprises a switching module and an operational module, both arranged on the printed circuit board, wherein the switching module is electronically coupled with the capacitive sensor component and the operational module, and the operational module is configured to at least operate the switching module according to a sensing of a change in capacitance between the outer layer and the capacitive sensor component by the capacitive sensor component;
• wherein the capacitive sensor component is configured to switch on the switching module when the capacitive sensor component senses that the deflection of the outer layer of the elastically deformable area is within a predetermined range.
