The patent application (Publication Number: US20240032606A1) describes an aerosol generating system that includes an aerosol generating device and a cradle. The aerosol generating device has a first accommodation space for an aerosol generating article and features a battery charged by power from the cradle. Additionally, the device includes an induction coil that creates a magnetic field to heat the aerosol generating article when inserted into the first accommodation space. The controller in the device is responsible for controlling the induction coil's power supply based on the presence or absence of the aerosol generating article in the space.
Furthermore, the system includes features such as a specific time frame for stopping the power supply to the induction coil when the aerosol generating article is moved or removed from the space, a mode for detecting reinsertion of the article, and a puff sensor to detect user inhalation. The induction coil is designed as a solenoid wound along the first accommodation space and can be made of various materials like copper, silver, gold, aluminum, tungsten, zinc, or nickel. These components work together to create an efficient and user-friendly aerosol generating system with advanced control and detection capabilities.
