The base 110 has a substantially tubular shape, and preferably has a circular tubular shape. The hollow interior of the substrate 110 defines or forms a chamber that receives an aerosol-forming substrate. The inner diameter of the base 110 is between 7mm and 14mm, or between 7mm and 12mm, or between 7mm and 10mm.
An aerosol-forming substrate is a substrate capable of releasing volatile compounds that can form an aerosol. Such volatile compounds may be released by heating the aerosol-forming substrate. The aerosol-forming substrate may be solid or liquid or comprise solid and liquid components. The aerosol-forming substrate may be adsorbed, coated, impregnated or otherwise loaded onto a carrier or support. The aerosol-forming substrate may conveniently be part of an aerosol-generating article.
The aerosol-forming substrate may comprise nicotine. The aerosol-forming substrate may comprise tobacco, for example may comprise a tobacco-containing material comprising volatile tobacco flavour compounds which are released from the aerosol-forming substrate when heated.

The infrared electrothermal coating 111 receives electric power to generate heat, and then radiates infrared rays with a certain wavelength, for example: far infrared rays of 8-15 μm. When the wavelength of the infrared light matches the absorption wavelength of the aerosol-forming substrate, the energy of the infrared light is readily absorbed by the aerosol-forming substrate. In this example, the wavelength of the infrared ray is not limited, and may be an infrared ray of 0.75 μm to 1000 μm, preferably a far infrared ray of 1.5 μm to 400 μm.
In this example, the infrared electrothermal coating 111 is formed on the outer surface of the substrate 110, and the infrared electrothermal coating 111 includes two infrared electrothermal coatings disposed at intervals, which are shown as infrared electrothermal coating 111a and infrared electrothermal coating 111 b. Wherein the infrared electrothermal coating 111a is closer to the mouth end of the aerosol-generating device 100 than the infrared electrothermal coating 111 b.
The infrared electrothermal coating 111a is arranged at the upper end of the substrate 110 with a spacing distance of 0.2 mm-1 mm, which is beneficial to manufacturing production. The distance between the infrared electrothermal coating 111a and the infrared electrothermal coating 111b is 0.2 mm-1 mm. The infrared electrothermal coating 111b is also spaced from the lower end of the substrate 110 by a distance of 1 mm-4 mm, which is advantageous for the arrangement of the conductive electrode and prevents the lower end of the substrate 110 from being too high in temperature. The upper end of the base 110 is located downstream of the lower end of the base 110 in terms of the flow direction of the aerosol. The infrared electrothermal coating 111a and the infrared electrothermal coating 111b may have the same axial extension length or different axial extension lengths.
The conductive elements include conductive electrodes 112a, 112b, 112c, 112d and 112e disposed on the surface of the substrate 110 at intervals from each other.
The conductive electrode 112a includes a coupling portion 112a1 extending in the circumferential direction of the base 110 and a conductive portion 112a2 extending axially from the coupling portion 112a1 toward the upper end of the base 110. The coupling portion 112a1 is arc-shaped, the coupling portion 112a1 and the infrared electrothermal coating 111b are arranged at intervals, and the coupling portion 112a1 is arranged between the infrared electrothermal coating 111b and the lower end of the substrate 110; wires may be soldered to the coupling portion 112a1 to form an electrical connection with a power source external to the heater 11, such as the battery cell 7 or a voltage converted by the battery cell 7, or may be electrically connected with the power source through other electrical connectors. The conductive part 112a2 is in a strip shape, the axially extending length is longer than that of the infrared electrothermal coating 111b, and the upper end of the conductive part 112a2 is flush with the upper end of the infrared electrothermal coating 111 b; the conductive portion 112a2 is held in contact with the infrared electrothermal coating 111b to form an electrical connection.
The conductive electrode 112b has a bar shape, and its axially extending length is the same as that of the infrared electrothermal coating 111 a. The conductive electrode 112b is held in contact with the infrared electrothermal coating 111a to form an electrical connection.
The conductive electrode 112c is similar in structure to the conductive electrode 112 a. The coupling portion 112c1 of the conductive electrode 112c is disposed between the infrared electrothermal coating 111b and the lower end of the substrate 110, and the conductive portion 112c2 is in a strip shape, but its axially extending length is greater than the sum of the axially extending lengths of the infrared electrothermal coating 111a and the infrared electrothermal coating 111b, and the upper end of the conductive portion 112c2 is flush with the upper end of the infrared electrothermal coating 111 a. The conductive portion 112c2 is in contact with both the infrared electrothermal coating 111a and the infrared electrothermal coating 111b to form an electrical connection.
The connection electrode 112d and the connection electrode e are each in a bar shape and are disposed in the infrared electrothermal coating 111 b. The connection electrode 112d and the connection electrode e have the same length extending in the axial direction as the infrared electrothermal coating 111 b.
The connection electrode 112d is disposed between the conductive electrode 112a and the conductive electrode 112 c. The connection electrode 112d separates the infrared electrothermal coating between the conductive electrode 112a and the conductive electrode 112c into two sub-infrared electrothermal coatings (shown as B1 and B2 in fig. 4) connected in series between the conductive electrode 112a and the conductive electrode 112c, and the sub-infrared electrothermal coatings B1 and B2 are distributed along the circumferential direction of the substrate 110; the equivalent resistance of the sub-infrared electrothermal coating B1 and the equivalent resistance of the sub-infrared electrothermal coating B2 can be the same or different.
The connection electrode 112e is also disposed between the conductive electrode 112a and the conductive electrode 112 c. The connection electrode 112e separates the infrared electrothermal coating between the conductive electrode 112a and the conductive electrode 112c into two sub-infrared electrothermal coatings (shown as B3 and B4 in fig. 4) connected in series between the conductive electrode 112a and the conductive electrode 112c, and the sub-infrared electrothermal coatings B3 and B4 are distributed along the circumferential direction of the substrate 110; the equivalent resistance of the sub-infrared electrothermal coating B3 and the equivalent resistance of the sub-infrared electrothermal coating B4 can be the same or different.
By providing the connection electrode 112d and the connection electrode 112e, the overall resistance value of the infrared electrothermal coating 111b can be reduced.
It should be noted that, if necessary, a plurality of connection electrodes 112d and/or connection electrodes 112e may be disposed between the conductive electrodes 112a and 112c to divide the infrared electrothermal coating into a plurality of sub-infrared electrothermal coatings connected in series between the conductive electrodes 112a and 112 c; for example: the 2 connection electrodes 112d are divided into 3 sub-infrared electrothermal coatings connected in series between the conductive electrode 112a and the conductive electrode 112c, and the equivalent resistances of the 3 sub-infrared electrothermal coatings may all be the same or all be different, or the equivalent resistances of the 2 sub-infrared electrothermal coatings are the same.
It should be noted that, as needed, a plurality of connection electrodes 112d and/or connection electrodes 112e may be disposed between the conductive electrodes 112b and 112c to reduce the overall resistance of the infrared electrothermal coating 111 a.
The conductive electrode 112a, the conductive electrode 112b, the conductive electrode 112c, the connection electrode 112d, and the connection electrode 112e preferably employ a continuous conductive coating, and the conductive coating may be a metal coating, and the metal coating may include silver, gold, palladium, platinum, copper, nickel, molybdenum, tungsten, niobium, or a metal alloy material as described above. The widths of the connection electrode 112d and the connection electrode 112e are 0.5mm to 3mm; or 0.5mm to 2.5mm; in a specific example, the thickness may be 1mm or 2mm.
In other examples, the connection electrode 112d and the connection electrode 112e may also employ a discontinuous conductive coating, such as the conductive coating having a mesh as shown in fig. 5.
In the process of manufacturing the heater 11, the connection electrode 112d and/or the connection electrode 112e may be disposed between the substrate 110 and the infrared electrothermal coating 111b along the direction perpendicular to the surface of the substrate 110; an infrared electrothermal coating 111b may also be provided between the base 110 and the connection electrode. The conductive portion 112a2 of the conductive electrode 112a and the conductive portion 112c2 of the conductive electrode 112c may be provided as such.
By the conductive element arrangement in fig. 3, the infrared electrothermal coating 111a and the infrared electrothermal coating 111b are independently controllable. Specifically, the power supply may be controlled to provide heating power to the infrared electrothermal coating 111a and/or the infrared electrothermal coating 111 b; for example, the power supply is controlled to provide heating power to the infrared electrothermal coating 111a to heat the upper half of the aerosol-generating article (the portion corresponding to the region of the infrared electrothermal coating 111 a); the power supply is then controlled to provide heating power to the infrared electrothermal coating 111b to heat the lower half of the aerosol-generating article (the portion corresponding to the region of the infrared electrothermal coating 111 b). Vice versa.
Alternatively, the power supply is controlled to provide heating power to the infrared electrothermal coating 111a to heat the upper half of the aerosol-generating article; the power supply is then controlled to simultaneously provide heating power to the infrared electrothermal coating 111a and the infrared electrothermal coating 111b to heat the entire aerosol-generating article.
Alternatively, the power supply is controlled to provide heating power to the infrared electrothermal coating 111b to heat the lower half of the aerosol-generating article; the power supply is then controlled to simultaneously provide heating power to the infrared electrothermal coating 111a and the infrared electrothermal coating 111b to heat the entire aerosol-generating article.
When the infrared electrothermal coating 111a is controlled to be heated, for example, the conductive electrode 112b is electrically connected to the positive electrode of the power supply, and the coupling portion 112c1 is electrically connected to the negative electrode of the power supply; thus, the current flows from the conductive electrode 112b, passes through the sub-infrared electrothermal coating A1 or the sub-infrared electrothermal coating A2 along the circumferential direction of the base 110, and then flows out from the conductive portion 112c 2.
When the infrared electrothermal coating 111B is controlled to be heated, for example, the coupling portion 112a1 is electrically connected to the positive electrode of the battery cell 7, the coupling portion 112c1 is electrically connected to the negative electrode of the battery cell 7, and current flows in from the conductive portion 112a2, sequentially passes through the infrared electrothermal coating B1 and the infrared electrothermal coating B2, sequentially passes through the infrared electrothermal coating B4 and the infrared electrothermal coating B3, and then flows out from the conductive portion 112c 2. The connection electrode 112d and the connection electrode 112e are not connected to a power source or a circuit outside the heater 11, i.e., the connection electrode 112d and the connection electrode 112e are suspended, and current cannot directly flow in from the connection electrode 112c and then flow out from the conductive portion 112b2 or the conductive portion 112a 2. The presence of the connection electrode 112d and the connection electrode 112e can reduce the overall resistance of the infrared electrothermal coating 111 b.
Referring again to fig. 3, the infrared electrothermal coating 111a is provided with a mark 113, and the mark 113 is used for positioning when the temperature sensor 2 is assembled. The temperature sensor 2 detects a real-time temperature of the region of the infrared electrothermal coating 111a and transmits the detected real-time temperature to the circuit board 3, and the circuit board 3 can control the temperature of the infrared electrothermal coating 111a and/or the infrared electrothermal coating 111b according to the real-time temperature (described below).
In the embodiments in which the heater 11 shown in fig. 3 to 5 has various variations, for example: it is also possible that the conductive electrode 112c is replaced with two electrodes similar to the conductive electrode 112a and the conductive electrode 112 b; alternatively, the conductive electrode 112a, the conductive electrode 112b and the conductive electrode 112c all adopt ring electrode structures, so that the infrared electrothermal coating 111 is divided into an upper infrared electrothermal coating and a lower infrared electrothermal coating, and one or more connection electrodes with ring structures can be arranged on the lower infrared electrothermal coating, which is also feasible; alternatively, it is also possible that the conductive electrode 112a, the conductive electrode 112b, and the conductive electrode 112c each have a spiral electrode structure, and the connection electrode has a spiral structure.
Fig. 6-7 illustrate another heater provided by embodiments of the present application.
Unlike the examples of fig. 3-4, the conductive portion 112a2 of the conductive electrode 112a has an axially extending length that is greater than the sum of the axially extending lengths of the infrared electrothermal coating 111a and the infrared electrothermal coating 111b, and the upper end of the conductive portion 112c2 is flush with the upper end of the infrared electrothermal coating 111 a. The conductive electrode 112b and the conductive electrode 112d are each disposed between the conductive portion 112a2 of the conductive electrode 112a and the conductive portion 112c2 of the conductive electrode 112c, and the conductive electrode 112b and the conductive electrode 112d are each disposed in the infrared electrothermal coating 111a region.
Unlike the examples of fig. 3-4, infrared electrothermal coating 111a may be independently controllable, while infrared electrothermal coating 111b may not be independently controllable.
When controlling the heater 11 to heat, firstly, a control power supply supplies heating power to the infrared electrothermal coating 111a through the conductive electrode 112b and the conductive electrode 112 d; then, the power supply is controlled to simultaneously supply heating power to the infrared electrothermal coating 111a and the infrared electrothermal coating 111b through the conductive electrode 112a and the conductive electrode 112 c.
When the conductive electrode 112b and the conductive electrode 112d are energized, the conductive portion (the conductive portion 112a2 of the conductive electrode 112a and the conductive portion 112c2 of the conductive electrode 112 c) between the conductive electrode 112b and the conductive electrode 112d is not energized, and the conductive portion is equivalent to the connection electrode in the examples of fig. 3-4, so that the overall resistance value of the infrared electrothermal coating 111a is reduced, the infrared electrothermal coating 111a is quickly heated, the upper half of the aerosol-generating article can be quickly heated, and the purpose of quickly generating aerosol is achieved.
When the conductive electrode 112a and the conductive electrode 112c are energized, the conductive electrode 112b and the conductive electrode 112d between the conductive electrode 112a and the conductive electrode 112c are not energized, which is also equivalent to the connection electrode in the examples of fig. 3 to 4, thereby reducing the overall resistance value of the infrared electrothermal coating 111 a. At this time, since the infrared electrothermal coating 111a and the infrared electrothermal coating 111b are heated simultaneously or the infrared electrothermal coating 111 is heated integrally, the overall resistance of the infrared electrothermal coating 111a is reduced due to the conductive electrode 112b and the conductive electrode 112d, so that the temperature of the infrared electrothermal coating 111a region is increased, and the temperature field of the whole infrared electrothermal coating 111 region is changed.
Similar to the examples of fig. 3-4, the real-time temperature of the region of the infrared electrothermal coating 111a may be detected by the temperature sensor 2 and transmitted to the circuit board 3, and the circuit board 3 may control the temperature of the infrared electrothermal coating 111a and/or the infrared electrothermal coating 111b according to the real-time temperature.
Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of a control curve of a heater provided in an embodiment of the present application.
In fig. 8, the abscissa T represents time, and 0 to T5 are control periods of the infrared electrothermal coating 111a region, and the ordinate T represents the temperature of the infrared electrothermal coating 111a region, and the temperature value can be detected and fed back by the temperature sensor 2. The heating power provided by the power supply is controlled according to the temperature information of the infrared heating coating 111a region in the whole control period of the infrared heating coating 111a region.
The heater 11 illustrated in fig. 3 to 4 is described below as an example:
1. during the period of 0 to T1, the control power supply supplies heating power to the infrared electrothermal coating 111a such that the temperature of the region of the infrared electrothermal coating 111a rises from the initial temperature to the first preset target temperature T1.
The initial temperature may be ambient temperature or a temperature greater than ambient temperature.
The first preset target temperature T1 is between 230 ℃ and 300 ℃, preferably between 240 ℃ and 300 ℃, further preferably between 240 ℃ and 290 ℃, further preferably between 240 ℃ and 280 ℃. In a specific example, 250 ℃, 260 ℃, 270 ℃, and the like may be set.
Generally, during the duration of this period, the control power is supplied to the infrared electrothermal coating 111a with the maximum heating power, for example: the heating power of 20w to 40w enables the temperature of the infrared electrothermal coating 111a region to rapidly rise to the first preset target temperature T1.
Generally, the start time of the period 0 to t1 is a predetermined time (including a time when the start signal is received and a time after the start signal is received) after the start signal is received by the controller, and the controller starts the control operation at this time. The activation signal may be a signal generated by an air flow sensor or a signal generated by a key switch.
2. During T1-T2, the control power supply provides heating power to the infrared electrothermal coating 111a such that the infrared electrothermal coating 111a region maintains the first preset target temperature T1.
Generally, during the duration of this period, the control power is supplied to the infrared electrothermal coating 111a with a relatively small heating power, for example: the heating power of about 5w to 15w is such that the temperature of the infrared electrothermal coating 111a region maintains the first preset target temperature T1. Maintaining the first preset target temperature T1 means that the temperature of the infrared electrothermal coating 111a region may fluctuate up and down at the target temperature T1, or that the temperature of the infrared electrothermal coating 111a region does not exceed the target temperature T1.
The period 0 to t2 may also be referred to as a warm-up phase or warm-up period, which has a duration of 10s to 30s (inclusive), for example: and may be 12s, 15s, 20s, 25s, 30s, etc. A prompt may be generated at time t2 to prompt the user to aspirate the aerosol; means of prompting include, but are not limited to, sound, light, vibration, and the like. the period t2 to t5 may also be referred to as a puff period, during which the user may puff the aerosol generated by the aerosol-generating substrate.
During the period of 0-t 2, no heating power is supplied to the infrared electrothermal coating 111b by the power supply, i.e., only the infrared electrothermal coating 111a starts heating, and the infrared electrothermal coating 111b does not start heating. In other words, the aerosol-generating article being heated at this time has only a first portion of the article corresponding to the infrared electrothermal coating 111a, with fewer portions being heated relative to the entire aerosol-generating article; in this way, on the one hand a rapid generation of the smokable aerosol is facilitated and on the other hand the water content in the heated product is relatively reduced, avoiding the problem of the user feeling hot when sucking the aerosol, in particular when sucking the first aerosol.
It will be appreciated that due to the thermal conductivity of the substrate 110, article, etc., the infrared electrothermal coating 111b region and its corresponding second portion of the article, all slowly rise in temperature. The first part of the article corresponding to the infrared electrothermal coating 111a and the second part of the article corresponding to the infrared electrothermal coating 111b may be aerosol-forming substrates having substantially the same composition or may comprise different components. There is no physical separation between the two partial articles, or there is heat transfer between the two partial articles.
In other examples, a so-called hold or hold period is not used during t1 to t2, but is also possible; at this time, during the period of 0 to T2, the region of the infrared electrothermal coating 111a may be controlled to rise from the initial temperature to the first preset target temperature T1 with a relatively gentle rising trend (or a small slope of the curve).
3. During T2-T3, the control power supply simultaneously provides heating power to the infrared electrothermal coating 111a and the infrared electrothermal coating 111b such that the region of the infrared electrothermal coating 111a maintains the first preset target temperature T1 at the allocated heating power.
the duration of the period t 2-t 3 is 30 s-50 s. In a specific example, 40s may be possible.
During this time, the heating power supplied from the power supply to the infrared heating coating 111 is distributed to two heating areas of the infrared heating coating 111a and the infrared heating coating 111b, and the infrared heating coating 111a and the infrared heating coating 111b correspond to two heating areas operating in parallel, so that the area with smaller resistance value has larger heating power and vice versa. If the resistance R of the infrared electrothermal coating 111a 111a And resistance R of infrared electrothermal coating 111b 111b For 3:2, the power supply provides 10w of heating power, 4w of heating power is allocated to the infrared electrothermal coating 111a region, and 6w of heating power is allocated to the infrared electrothermal coating 111b region.
Similar to the period t 1-t 2, during the period t 2-t 3, the power supply may be controlled to provide relatively little heating power to the infrared electrothermal coating 111, for example: the heating power of about 5w to 15w enables the temperature of the infrared electrothermal coating 111a region to be maintained at the first preset target temperature T1 under the allocated heating power.
Unlike the period 0-t 2, the temperature of the infrared electrothermal coating 111b region can rise rapidly at the distributed heating power (although the power is small) and the temperature difference from the infrared electrothermal coating 111a region during the period t 2-t 3.
4. During T3-T4, the control power supply simultaneously supplies heating power to the infrared electrothermal coating 111a and the infrared electrothermal coating 111b such that the infrared electrothermal coating 111a region falls from the first preset target temperature T1 to the second preset target temperature T2 and maintains the second preset target temperature T2 at the allocated heating power.
the duration of the period t 3-t 4 is 30 s-50 s. In a specific example, 40s may be possible.
Generally, the difference between the first preset target temperature T1 and the second preset target temperature T2 is between 10 ℃ and 30 ℃. In a specific example, it may be 20 ℃.
Similar to the period t2 to t3, the heating power supplied from the power supply is distributed to two areas of the infrared electrothermal coating 111a and the infrared electrothermal coating 111b during the period t3 to t 4.
Similar to the period t 2-t 3, during the period t 3-t 4, the power supply may be controlled to provide relatively little heating power to the infrared electrothermal coating 111, for example: the heating power of about 5w to 15w enables the temperature of the infrared electrothermal coating 111a region to be reduced from the first preset target temperature T1 to the second preset target temperature T2 and to maintain the second preset target temperature T2 at the allocated heating power.
Unlike the period t2 to t3, the temperature change of the infrared electrothermal coating 111b region is substantially the same as the change of the infrared electrothermal coating 111a region at the allocated heating power and the temperature difference from the infrared electrothermal coating 111a region during the period t3 to t 4.
5. During T4-T5, the control power supply simultaneously supplies heating power to the infrared electrothermal coating 111a and the infrared electrothermal coating 111b such that the infrared electrothermal coating 111a region falls from the second preset target temperature T2 to the third preset target temperature T3 and maintains the third preset target temperature T3 at the allocated heating power.
the duration of the period t4 to t5 is between 30s and 200s.
Generally, the difference between the second preset target temperature T2 and the third preset target temperature T3 is between 10 ℃ and 20 ℃. In a specific example, it may be 15 ℃.
Similar to the period t3 to t4, the heating power supplied from the power supply is distributed to the infrared electrothermal coating 111a region and the infrared electrothermal coating 111b region during the period t4 to t 5.
Similar to the period from t3 to t4, during the period from t4 to t5, the power supply may be controlled to supply a relatively small heating power to the infrared electrothermal coating 111, for example: the heating power of about 5w to 15w enables the temperature of the infrared electrothermal coating 111a region to be reduced from the second preset target temperature T2 to the third preset target temperature T3 and to maintain the third preset target temperature T3 at the allocated heating power.
Similar to the period from t3 to t4, the temperature change of the infrared electrothermal coating 111b region is substantially the same as the change of the infrared electrothermal coating 111a region at the assigned heating power and the temperature difference from the infrared electrothermal coating 111a region during the period from t4 to t 5.
It should be noted that, during the period from t4 to t5, the temperature difference between the infrared electrothermal coating 111a region and the infrared electrothermal coating 111b region is determined by the resistance relationship between them: if the resistance values of the two are the same, there is no temperature difference between the two; if the resistance values of the two are different, the heating power distributed by the region with smaller resistance value is larger, and the temperature of the region with smaller resistance value is higher than that of the region with larger resistance value. Based on the characteristics, in the actual operation process, the overall resistance value of the infrared electric heating coating 111b is reduced through the connecting electrode 112d and the connecting electrode 112e, on one hand, the infrared electric heating coating 111b is beneficial to obtain larger heating power in the period from t4 to t5, so that the temperature of the infrared electric heating coating 111b is higher than that of the infrared electric heating coating 111a, the problem that less aerosol is generated in the period from t4 to t5 to cause the reduction of the user suction experience is avoided, and meanwhile, the suction consistency is maintained; on the other hand, the time for which the partial product corresponding to the infrared electrothermal coating 111b is heated is later than the time for which the partial product corresponding to the infrared electrothermal coating 111a is heated, and the whole resistance value of the infrared electrothermal coating 111b is reduced by the connection electrode 112d and the connection electrode 112e, so that the partial product corresponding to the infrared electrothermal coating 111b can be ensured to be sufficiently heated, or the waste caused by that the partial product is not heated completely can be avoided.
At time t5, an aerosol-generating article has been or is deemed to be depleted, at which point the controllable power source ceases to provide heating power to the infrared electrothermal coating 111. Further, a prompt may be generated to prompt the user to update the aerosol-generating article or that the aerosol-generating article has been depleted; means of prompting include, but are not limited to, sound, light, vibration, and the like.
It should be noted that the control curve shown in fig. 8 may also be applied to other heating methods, such as resistive heating, electromagnetic heating, air heating, and the like.
It should be noted that, in other examples, there is no so-called temperature drop trend during t3 to t5, and it is also possible; at this time, during T3 to T5, the power supply may be controlled to simultaneously supply heating power to the infrared electrothermal coating 111a and the infrared electrothermal coating 111b such that the temperature of the region of the infrared electrothermal coating 111a is always maintained at the first preset target temperature T1.
Fig. 9 is a schematic diagram of an actual temperature profile of a heater provided in an embodiment of the present application.
Based on the heater 11 illustrated in fig. 3-4, the control curve shown in fig. 8 is used to control the heater 11, and then the real-time temperatures of the infrared electrothermal coating 111a region and the infrared electrothermal coating 111b region are measured by two temperature sensors, respectively (the temperature sensor in the infrared electrothermal coating 111a region may be used as the temperature sensor in the examples in fig. 3-4), and finally a graph of time versus temperature is obtained.
As shown in fig. 9, S1 is a graph of time versus temperature for the infrared electrothermal coating 111a region, and S2 is a graph of time versus temperature for the infrared electrothermal coating 111b region.
The "control curve" indicates that the controller controls the operation of the heater 11 according to the curve, and the "temperature curve" indicates the relationship between the temperature and time generated during the operation of the heater 11. The controller may be part of the wiring board 3 including, but not limited to, an MCU.
During the period of 0 to 30 seconds (corresponding to the control period of 0 to t2 in fig. 8), the temperature of the infrared electrothermal coating 111a region rises from the initial temperature (about 28 c) to about 270 c. The temperature of the infrared electrothermal coating 111b region is gradually increased to about 80 ℃ due to the effect of heat transfer, since the heating is not started in the infrared electrothermal coating 111b region.
During the period of 30s to 70s (corresponding to the period of t2 to t3 in fig. 8), since the infrared electrothermal coating 111b and the infrared electrothermal coating 111a are simultaneously activated to be heated at the time of 30s, the temperature of the region of the infrared electrothermal coating 111b rapidly rises. While the temperature in the region of infrared electrothermal coating 111a tends to be gentle (slightly decreased).
During the period of 70s to 110s (corresponding to the period of t3 to t4 control in fig. 8), the temperature of the infrared electrothermal coating 111a region is reduced to about 230 ℃, and the temperature change of the infrared electrothermal coating 111b region is substantially the same as the temperature change of the infrared electrothermal coating 111a region.
During the period 110s to 240s, (corresponding to the period of t4 to t5 control in fig. 8), the temperature of the infrared electrothermal coating 111a region is reduced to about 210 ℃, and the temperature change of the infrared electrothermal coating 111b region is also about the same as the temperature change of the infrared electrothermal coating 111a region. Thereafter, the temperature in the region of infrared electrothermal coating 111b and the temperature in the region of infrared electrothermal coating 111a are equilibrated at about 140 s. During 140s to 240s, the temperature of the infrared electrothermal coating 111b region is significantly higher than the temperature of the infrared electrothermal coating 111a region because the resistance of the infrared electrothermal coating 111b is smaller than that of the infrared electrothermal coating 111 a.
