AEROSOL GENERATION DEVICE AND INFRARED HEATER

The present application relates to the field of smoking devices, and provides an aerosol generation apparatus and an infrared heater. The aerosol generation apparatus comprises a chamber used for receiving an aerosol-forming substrate; and at least one infrared heater configured to radiate infrared rays to the chamber to heat the aerosol-forming substrate. The infrared heater comprises multiple infrared heating regions used for heating different parts of the aerosol-forming substrate, and predetermined spacing is maintained between adjacent infrared heating regions. The multiple infrared heating regions are configured to be non-independently started. According to the present application, the multiple infrared heating regions are non-independently started to heat the different parts of the aerosol-forming substrate, and because the predetermined spacing is maintained between adjacent infrared heating regions, the parts of the aerosol-forming substrate corresponding to the infrared heating regions have a significant temperature difference from the parts of the aerosol-forming substrate corresponding to the preset spacing, thereby avoiding the problem that the volatilization of cigarette components is relatively single, and improving the smoking experience of the user.
