Power supply unit of aerosol generating device, aerosol generating device, and control method of aerosol generating device

Abstract

A power supply unit of an aerosol generating device includes: a housing; a power supply; an aerosol generator configured to generate an aerosol from an aerosol source by using power supplied from the power supply; a controller configured to control the aerosol generator; an aerosol source accommodation part configured to allow the aerosol source to be inserted and removed, and configured to accommodate at least a part of the aerosol source; a movable member configured to move in an insertion direction accompanying insertion of the aerosol source; a biasing member configured to bias the movable member in a direction opposite to the insertion direction; and a detection device disposed inside the housing and configured to detect a movement of the movable member in the insertion direction. The controller starts generation of the aerosol when an input to the detection device is detected.
