Aerosol-generating device with induction heater and movable component

1. An aerosol-generating device, comprising:

a housing having a chamber configured to receive at least a portion of an aerosol-generating article; and

an induction heater configured to heat the aerosol-generating article received within the chamber of the housing, the induction heater comprising an induction coil and a heating element, the heating element being arrangeable within the induction coil, and the induction coil being movable relative to the chamber of the housing,

wherein the induction coil and the heating element are moveable with respect to each other between at least a first operable position and a second operable position.

2. The aerosol-generating device according to claim 1 ,

wherein in the first operable position, a first portion of the heating element is surrounded by the induction coil,

wherein in the second operable position, a second portion of the heating element is surrounded by the induction coil, and

wherein the first portion and the second portion of the heating element do not overlap.

3. The aerosol-generating device according to claim 1 , wherein the heating element is movable relative to the chamber of the housing.

4. The aerosol-generating device according to claim 3 , wherein the heating element is movable in a longitudinal direction of the chamber.

5. The aerosol-generating device according to claim 3 , further comprising a guiding element configured to restrict movement of the heating element within the chamber.

6. The aerosol-generating device according to claim 3 , further comprising a sliding actuator configured to move the heating element within the chamber.

7. The aerosol-generating device according to claim 2 , wherein the first portion and the second portion of the heating element are thermally isolated from each other.

8. The aerosol-generating device according to claim 1 , wherein the induction coil is movable in a longitudinal direction of the chamber.

9. The aerosol-generating device according to claim 1 , further comprising a guiding element configured to restrict movement of the induction coil relative to the chamber.

10. The aerosol-generating device according to claim 3 , wherein the heating element is movable in a transverse direction of the chamber.

11. The aerosol-generating device according to claim 10 ,

further comprising a base section,

wherein the heating element is elongate and extends perpendicular to the base section into the chamber of the housing, and

wherein the base section is configured to move between a first position in which the heating element is aligned with a central axis of the induction coil, and a second position in which the heating element is not aligned with the central axis of the induction coil.

12. The aerosol-generating device according to claim 11 , wherein the base section comprises a dial and a pin offset from the central axis of the induction coil, the dial being configured to pivot about the pin.

13. The aerosol-generating device according to claim 11 , wherein the base section comprises a sliding element configured to slide relative to a slot in the housing.

14. An aerosol-generating system, comprising:

an aerosol-generating article comprising an aerosol-generating substrate;

a housing having a chamber configured to receive at least a portion of the aerosol-generating article; and

an induction heater configured to heat the aerosol-generating article received within the chamber of the housing, the induction heater comprising an induction coil and a heating element,

wherein the heating element is arrangeable within the induction coil,

wherein the induction coil is movable relative to the chamber of the housing, and

wherein the induction coil and the heating element are moveable with respect to each other between at least a first operable position and a second operable position.
