Abstract
Provided herein is an ultrasonic-based aerosol generation device. The aerosol generation device according to some embodiments of the present disclosure includes a liquid reservoir configured to store an aerosol-forming substrate in a liquid state, a wick configured to absorb the stored aerosol-forming substrate, an ultrasonic vibrator configured to vaporize the absorbed aerosol-forming substrate through ultrasonic waves to generate an aerosol, and a controller configured to control the ultrasonic vibrator. Here, at least a portion of the wick and at least a portion of the ultrasonic vibrator may be implemented to have a flat shape and may be disposed to come in close contact with each other. In this way, a vaporization area may be maximized, and vapor production may be significantly enhanced.
