Detailed Description

For a more clear understanding of the technical features, objects and effects of the present invention, embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 to 3 illustrate an electronic cigarette heating component 12 according to some embodiments of the present invention, where the heating component 12 may be applied to an electronic cigarette atomizer for heating and atomizing tobacco tar, and may include a porous body 121 for sucking tobacco tar from a liquid storage chamber of the atomizer, and a heating element 122 for heating and atomizing the tobacco tar adsorbed in the porous body 121. The heat generating body 122 includes a vertically long sheet-shaped heat generating portion, which is embedded in the porous body 121, and all or most of the surface area of the sheet-shaped heat generating portion is in contact with the porous body 121, thereby achieving the effects of high atomization efficiency, low heat loss, dry burning prevention or great reduction in dry burning.

Preferably, the sheet-shaped heat generating portion is embedded in the porous body 121 in a manner that the width direction of the sheet-shaped heat generating portion is along the moving direction of the smoke liquid and/or smoke in the porous body 121, so that on one hand, the smoke liquid and/or smoke can move more smoothly, and on the other hand, more heat can be concentrated near the atomizing surface 1211 rather than being transferred more in the direction of the liquid absorption surface 1212, thereby improving the utilization rate of the heat. The porous body 121 may be made of a hard capillary structure of porous ceramic, porous glass, or the like in some embodiments. The sheet-shaped heat generating portion of the heat generating body 122 may be made of stainless steel, nichrome, ferrochromium alloy, metallic titanium, or the like in some embodiments.

When the porous body 121 has a sintered structure, the sheet-like heat generating portion of the heat generating body 122 can be integrally formed with the heat generating portion of the porous body 121 by sintering. Specifically, taking the porous body 121 as a porous ceramic as an example, when the sheet-like heat generating portion is a metal sheet, a blank of the porous body 121 may be formed by a kaolin clay briquette, the sheet-like heat generating portion of the heat generating body 122 may be embedded in the blank, and the blank may be dried and sintered. When the flaky heating part is a coated flaky heating part, the flaky heating part can be firstly coated on an organic membrane, then the organic membrane with the flaky heating part is inserted into a blank, and the blank is dried and sintered, the organic membrane can be burnt off in the sintering process, and only the coated flaky heating part is tightly combined with the porous body.

Compared with a heating wire, the specific surface area of the sheet heating part is larger, and the thickness of the sheet heating part can be greatly smaller than the diameter of the heating wire (the heating wire is easy to break when the diameter of the heating wire is too small) under the condition of meeting certain mechanical performance, so that the sheet heating part can be made to be very thin, the heat accumulation in the sheet heating part is small, and the atomization efficiency is high. For example, in some embodiments the sheet-like heat generating portion may have a thickness of 0.04 to 0.1mm and a width of 0.3 to 0.6 mm. In some cases, the thickness of the sheet-like heat generating portion may be made smaller, for example, about 0.008 mm.

As shown, the porous body 121 may be substantially, but not limited to, a rectangular parallelepiped in some embodiments, which includes an atomizing surface 1211 and a liquid absorbing surface 1212 parallel to the atomizing surface 1211. The liquid suction surface 1212 is used to communicate with the liquid storage chamber to let the smoke liquid enter the porous body 121. The smoke liquid is heated in the porous body 121, atomized, and then emitted through the atomization surface 1211. The porous body 121 includes a receiving groove 1210 for receiving the sheet-like heat generating portion of the heat generating body 122, and the receiving groove 1210 extends in length in a direction parallel to the plane of the atomizing surface 1211 and in depth in a direction away from the atomizing surface 1211.

In some embodiments, since the liquid-absorbing surface 1212 and the atomizing surface 1211 are parallel to each other, the moving direction of the smoke liquid and the smoke in the porous body 121 is perpendicular to the plane of the atomizing surface 1211. The depth direction of the receiving groove 1210 is perpendicular to the plane of the atomizing surface 1211, so that the width direction is also perpendicular to the plane of the atomizing surface 1211 when the sheet-shaped heat generating portion of the heat generating body 122 is received therein. When the width direction of the sheet-like heat generating portion of the heat generating body 122 is perpendicular to the atomizing surface 1211, the movement of the smoke and the liquid smoke in the porous body 121 becomes smoother on one hand, and the manufacturing is more convenient on the other hand. In addition, the main heat-conducting surfaces (i.e., the front and rear surfaces defined by the length and width) of the sheet-like heat generating portion of the heat generating body 122 are positioned in the lateral direction, and both are used to heat the liquid smoke near the atomizing surface 1211, and the atomization efficiency is high. Further, since the sheet-like heat generating portion of the heat generating body 122 is thin and the thickness and the upper and lower surfaces of the length-defining surface are small, the smoke liquid distant from the atomizing surface 1211 absorbs less heat, thereby reducing waste of heat and saving energy.

It is to be understood that the sheet-like heat generating portion of the heat generating body 122 is not limited to the width direction being completely perpendicular to the plane of the atomizing surface 1211, and in some embodiments, it is preferable to be slightly inclined, that is, the sheet-like heat generating portion of the heat generating body 122 is substantially perpendicular to the atomizing surface 122. Preferably, the angle between the width direction of the sheet-like heat generating portion of the heat generating body 122 and the normal direction of the atomizing surface 1211 is within 20 degrees.

It should be understood that the sheet-like heat generating portions of the heat generating body 122 do not have the same correspondence relationship with the atomizing surface 1211 in the plane perpendicular to the entire length of the heat generating portion, and the advantages of the embodiment can be obtained by providing the partial heat generating portions with the correspondence relationship. Preferably, at least half or more of the heat generating portions preferably have the corresponding relationship.

It is understood that, in some embodiments, if the moving direction of the smoke liquid and/or smoke in the porous body 121 is not perpendicular to the plane of the atomizing surface 1211, the arrangement of the sheet-shaped heat generating portion of the heat generating body 122 is preferably adjusted accordingly, so that the width direction of the sheet-shaped heat generating portion is parallel to or follows the moving direction of the smoke liquid and/or smoke in the porous body 121.

In some embodiments, in order to make the heat distribution more uniform, the sheet-like heat generating portions of the heat generating body 122 need to be distributed as uniformly as possible in the porous body 121 near the atomizing surface 1211. In some embodiments, the sheet-shaped heat generating body 122 may be provided in an S-shape in a length direction, which includes a plurality of straight portions 1221 arranged in parallel with each other at equal intervals and a plurality of bent portions 1222 connecting the straight portions 1221 in series. Accordingly, the receiving groove 1210 is also formed in an S-shape and has a size adapted to the size of the sheet-shaped heat generating portion of the heat generating body 122 so that the sheet-shaped heat generating portion of the heat generating body 122 can be better received therein and is in close contact with the sheet-shaped heat generating portion of the heat generating body 122. It is to be understood that the sheet-like heat generating portion of the heat generating body 122 is not limited to the S-shape, and may be provided in other shapes such as a straight long shape, a coil shape, and a wave shape as necessary. The number of the sheet-like heat generating portions in which only one heat generating body 122 is provided in one porous body 121 is not limited to two or more.

Referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, the width of the sheet-shaped heat generating portion of the heat generating body 122 is equal to the depth of the accommodating groove 1210, and the top surface of the sheet-shaped heat generating portion of the heat generating body 122 is flush with the atomizing surface 1211 when the sheet-shaped heat generating portion of the heat generating body 122 is accommodated in the accommodating groove 1210 along the width direction, i.e. the plane where the sheet-shaped heat generating portion of the heat generating body 122 is located is parallel to the atomizing surface 1211. Since the top surface (upper surface defined by the length and thickness) of the sheet-like heat generating portion of the heat generating body 122 is exposed to the outside, the heat generating element 12 can atomize the smoke liquid near the top surface more quickly, and has the advantages of quick smoke discharge and convenient manufacture.

In some embodiments, the thermal conductivity of the porous body 121 is uniform in the direction from the liquid absorption surface 1212 to the atomization surface 1211. In other embodiments, the thermal conductivity of the porous body 121 increases from the liquid-absorbing surface 1212 to the atomizing surface 1211, so that the smoke liquid in the portion of the porous body 121 closer to the atomizing surface 1211 is atomized faster, and the smoke liquid can be accelerated to move toward the atomizing surface 1211, thereby improving the atomizing efficiency.

Further, since the sheet-like heat generating portion of the heat generating element 122 is embedded in the porous body 121 in the width direction, the contact area between the sheet-like heat generating portion of the heat generating element 122 and the porous body 121 is large, the heat generating efficiency is high, and the bonding is more firm and is less likely to come off. In addition, this arrangement makes it possible to make the sheet-like heat generating portion of the heat generating body 122 as thin as possible and to make the exposed portion of the sheet-like heat generating portion of the heat generating body 122 relatively narrow, thereby greatly reducing the occurrence of dry burning of the exposed portion.

Fig. 5 shows a heat generating component 12a in some embodiments of the invention, the heat generating component 12a being an alternative to the above-mentioned heat generating component 12, and the main differences from the heat generating component 12 are: the width of the sheet-like heat generating portion of the heat generating body 122a is smaller than the depth of the receiving groove 1210a, and therefore, the top surface of the sheet-like heat generating portion of the heat generating body 122a is lower than the atomizing surface 1211a when the sheet-like heat generating portion is received in the receiving groove 1210a in the width direction. This configuration allows for liquid accumulation in the channel from the top surface to the atomizing surface 1211a, and prevents the top surface from being exposed, thereby further reducing the occurrence of dry burning.

Fig. 6 shows a heat generating component 12b in some embodiments of the invention, and the heat generating component 12b is an alternative to the heat generating component 12 described above, and the main difference from the heat generating component 12 is that: since the sheet-like heat generating portion of the heat generating element 122b has a width larger than the depth of the receiving groove 1210b, the top surface of the sheet-like heat generating portion of the heat generating element 122b protrudes from the atomizing surface 1211b when the sheet-like heat generating portion is received in the receiving groove 1210b in the width direction. The configuration can realize multiple atomization temperatures, and achieve the effect of diversified mouthfeel, so as to meet the requirements of different users.

As an alternative to the above-described heat generating component 12, the main differences from the heat generating component 12 are: the thickness of the sheet-like heat generating portion of the heat generating body 122d increases along the depth direction of the receiving groove 1210d, so that the resistance of the sheet-like heat generating portion of the heat generating body 122d decreases along the depth direction of the receiving groove 1210 d.

When the atomizer 1 is assembled, the following steps can be adopted:

(1) firstly, the sealing sleeve 13 is sleeved on the heating component 12 v;

(2) the combined body of the sealing sleeve 13 and the heating component 12v is plugged into the nesting part 142 of the upper seat body 14;

(3) then, the upper seat body 14 is covered on the lower seat body 11, and the hook 148 of the heating component of the upper seat body 14 is buckled on the buckling

parts

1122 and 1132 of the lower seat body 11, so that the buckling connection between the upper seat body 14 and the lower seat body 11 is realized; meanwhile, the electrode lead of the heating element 12v is electrically connected with the electrode post 1114 on the lower seat body 11;

(4) then the sleeve body 15 is sleeved on the upper seat body 14 to complete the assembly of the atomization component 10;

(5) finally, the liquid outlet 230 of the liquid storage cavity 23 is blocked by pushing the liquid storage device 20 with tobacco liquid upside down into the sleeve-joint part 212, and the top surface abuts against the step 213, and the hook 1112 of the lower base 11 is clamped into the slot 2122 of the sleeve-joint part 212, so that the atomizer 1 is assembled very conveniently and quickly.

Thus, the flow path of the air in the nebulizer 1 is as shown by the arrows in fig. 32: air first enters the first air inlet passage through the second air inlet hole 2120 and the first air inlet hole 157, and then enters the atomizing chamber 110 through the through hole 1120 to be mixed with the smoke. The smoke air mixture then enters the first outlet channel through the through holes 1130 and then enters the second inlet channel 143. Then enters the annular upper seat body connecting channel and then enters the second air outlet channel 1466. And finally into the air flow duct 22 and finally out of the atomiser 1 via the air outlet 210. The smoke liquid in the liquid storage cavity 23 sequentially passes through the liquid inlet hole 155 of the sleeve body 15 and the liquid channel 144 of the upper seat body 14, enters the groove 120 of the heating component 12v, and contacts with the liquid suction surface 1212v, so that the liquid is guided.

In some embodiments, the second air inlet hole 2120 is located higher than the atomizing chamber 110, which can better prevent the leakage smoke from flowing out of the second air inlet hole 2120 under normal use condition. The bottom of the whole airflow channel of the atomizer 1 is substantially U-shaped, and the airflow direction at the position of the atomizing cavity 110 is parallel to the atomizing surface 1211v of the heating component 12v, so that the smoke atomized by the atomizing surface 1211v is more easily carried away.

In some embodiments, the top surface of the porous body 121v of the heating element 12v has a groove, and the liquid guiding efficiency can be increased after the smoke liquid enters the groove. Particularly, on one hand, the arrangement of the grooves increases the contact area of the porous body and the tobacco juice; on the other hand, the distance between the bottom surface of the groove and the outer surface of the bottom of the porous body 121v is small, so that the flow resistance of the smoke liquid reaching the outer surface of the bottom of the porous body 121v can be reduced. In addition, since the liquid guiding side of the heating body 12v needs to seal the smoke liquid by the sealing sleeve 115 to prevent the smoke liquid from flowing out into the atomizing chamber 110, the porous body 121v needs to have a certain height to meet the requirement of the sealing member and the requirement of the rigidity of the porous body 121v itself. Through setting up above-mentioned recess, can satisfy the thickness demand of porous ceramic body, also can satisfy drain efficiency demand.

It should be understood that the heating element 12v of the electronic cigarette may be another suitable heating element, and the heating element 122v may be arranged in a vertically long sheet shape, a thread shape, or other shapes.
