Abstract (en)

Present invention relates to a heating system (100, 200, 300, 400, 500) for an aerosol-generating device, wherein the heating system (100, 200, 300, 400, 500) is electrically connected to a power source (230) to heat but not burn an aerosol-generating article (150, 250, 350, 450, 550) in a heating chamber (1120), comprising- A heating assembly, comprising a heating element (110, 210, 310, 410, 510) having a longitudinal axis, comprising a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the aerosol-generating article (150, 250, 350, 450, 550), wherein the heating element (110, 210, 310, 410, 510) has a hollow cavity to allow the aerosol-generating article to longitudinally move through the hollow cavity of the heating element (110, 210, 310, 410, 510), wherein the heating element is made of a heat conducting material;- A driving assembly, comprising a guiding element (120, 220, 320, 420, 520) having a longitudinal axis, mechanically connected to the heating element (110, 210, 310, 410, 510) such that the longitudinal axis of the heating element (110, 210, 310, 410, 510) is configured substantially parallel to the guiding element (120, 220, 320, 420, 520) to allow the heating element (110, 210, 310, 410, 510) to be moved longitudinally in relation with the guiding element (120, 220, 320, 420, 520) so that the heating element (110, 210, 310, 410, 510) is moved in heating engagement with different portions of the aerosol-generating article (150, 250, 350, 450, 550) in the heating chamber (1120).The invention also relates to an aerosol-generating device comprising a heating system (100, 200, 300, 400, 500) as described above.
