Abstract

Disclosed is an aerosol generating device, comprising an extraction member and a heating member, the extraction member being internally provided with a hollow cavity for accommodating an aerosol generating substrate segment, and the hollow cavity comprising a first connecting end and a second connecting end which are oppositely arranged; and the heating member comprises a heating body for heating the aerosol generating substrate segment and a sealing plug that is mounted at one end of the heating body; when the heating body extends into the hollow cavity from the second connecting end, same is inserted into the aerosol generating substrate segment that extends from the first connecting end into the hollow cavity, and the sealing plug sealingly cooperates with an end surface opening of the second connecting end. The aerosol generating device provided in the present invention improves the sealing performance of an aerosol generating substrate segment area, reduces the oxygen content in the aerosol generating substrate segment area, and reduces the generation of harmful substances when a consumer smokes a tobacco product.
