- the heating element 32 is embedded in the outer side of the container 31, and the outer wall surface of the heating element 32 (i.e., the surface away from the central axis of the accommodating cavity 310) is exposed to the outside. Furthermore, the outer wall surface of the heating element 32 may be flush with the outer wall surface of the container 31, so that the outer surface of the aerosol generating article 30 is a smooth surface. Of course, in other embodiments, the outer wall surface of the heating element 32 may also protrude or be recessed from the outer wall surface of the container 31.
- the heating element 32 and the container 31 may be separately provided, and/or the heating element 32 may not be embedded in the container 31 .
- an aerosol generating system 100 in some embodiments of the present invention, which includes a nozzle 10, a main unit 20, and an aerosol generating product 30.
- the specific structures of the nozzle 10, the main unit 20, and the aerosol generating product 30 can all refer to the relevant descriptions of the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.
- the aerosol generating system 100 in this embodiment further includes a magnet 28 for magnetically fixing the aerosol generating product 30 in the cavity 240.
- the magnetic fixing method is reliable and easy to assemble and disassemble.
- the heating element 32 includes a ferromagnetic material or is made of a ferromagnetic material. When the aerosol generating product 30 is installed in the cavity 240, the heating element 32 can be magnetically attracted to the magnet 28, thereby reliably fixing the aerosol generating product 30 in the cavity 240.

Abstract
L'invention concerne un produit de génération d'aérosol (30) et un système de génération d'aérosol (100). Le produit de génération d'aérosol (30) comprend un contenant (31). Une cavité de réception (310) destinée à recevoir une matrice de génération d'aérosol (33) est formée dans le contenant (31). Le produit de génération d'aérosol (30) est conçu pour pouvoir chauffer dans un champ magnétique pour chauffer la matrice de génération d'aérosol (33). Le système de génération d'aérosol (100) comprend le produit de génération d'aérosol (30) et un dispositif d'atomisation (40) accouplé au produit de génération d'aérosol (30). Le dispositif d'atomisation (40) comprend une source de chauffage par induction (242) utilisée pour générer un champ magnétique. La matrice de génération d'aérosol (33) peut être régénérée par remplacement du produit de génération d'aérosol (30), ce qui permet de commander avec précision la quantité d'utilisation de la matrice de génération d'aérosol (33), d'assurer la qualité de la matrice de génération d'aérosol (33), et d'éviter l'introduction d'autres impuretés dans le processus d'ajout manuel de la matrice de génération d'aérosol (33).
