Heating element and electronic atomization device

Technical Field

The utility model relates to an atomizing technical field especially relates to heating element and electronic atomization device.

Background

An aerosol is a colloidal dispersion of small solid or liquid particles dispersed and suspended in a gaseous medium, and can be generated, for example, by baking and heating an aerosol-generating substrate such as a herb or a paste by an electronic atomizer.

Generally, electronic atomisation devices typically utilise a heating element to heat an aerosol-generating substrate, which is a substrate material that is capable of generating an aerosol when heated. However, the prior art heating elements suffer from the disadvantage of slow aerosol formation and in order to increase the rate of aerosol formation, some embodiments provide the high temperature zone of the heating element close to the mouth suction portion of the user, with the location and volume of the high temperature zone being fixed, resulting in the baked aerosol-generating substrate being prone to charring and to taste impairment. In other embodiments, the aerosol-generating substrate may be heated by applying a relatively large amount of heating energy to the aerosol-generating substrate at the initial stage of heating in order to increase the aerosol-forming rate, but the initial heating energy is relatively large, so that the carbonization rate of the aerosol-generating substrate is too high, the number of effective pores is reduced, and the aerosol-generating substrate cannot be effectively baked and used.

Thus, heating elements in the related art tend to cause local scorching when increasing the aerosol formation rate, or are unable to effectively bake utilize the aerosol-generating substrate, affecting the user experience.

Accordingly, there is a need for a heating element and an electronic atomizing device that can improve the aerosol forming speed, avoid local scorching, effectively bake and utilize the aerosol generating substrate, and improve the user experience.

the heating film is arranged on the base body and comprises at least two sub heating films which are sequentially distributed along the longitudinal direction of the base body;

wherein the initial heating power per unit area of the sub-heating film positioned at the top end in each sub-heating film is larger than the initial heating power per unit area of each of the rest sub-heating films; and the heating power change rate of the sub heating film which is positioned at the top end and has the maximum initial heating power per unit area is smaller than the heating power change rate of each of the rest sub heating films.

In the heating element, the initial heating power per unit area of the sub heating film positioned at the top end is the largest, and a high-temperature area is formed at the top end in the initial stage of suction so as to improve the forming speed of aerosol. And, the heating power rate of change of this initial maximum heating power's sub-heating film is minimum, and the heating power rate of change of other sub-heating films is great, and the change volume of the sub-heating film heating power of top end is less after circular telegram a period of time, and the change volume of the sub-heating film heating power of bottom end is great, can make the heating power of the sub-heating film of top end and the sub-heating film of bottom end approach gradually, and even the heating power of the sub-heating film of bottom end anti-super-top terminal heating film, and then the sub-heating film of bottom end can heat up to being close with the temperature of the sub-heating film of top relatively fast, and whole heating film can evenly generate heat in lengthwise direction.

Equivalently, aerosol is formed by rapidly baking the high-temperature area at the top end in the initial stage of suction, and then the heating temperature of each area is gradually close to that of the whole aerosol generating substrate, so that the whole aerosol generating substrate is uniformly and sufficiently baked, the phenomenon that the temperature of a certain area is too high for a long time to generate scorch is prevented, the aerosol generating substrate is effectively baked and utilized, and the user experience is improved.

Referring to fig. 1-3, in one embodiment of the invention, a heating element 100 is provided for heating an aerosol-generating substrate to form an aerosol that can be drawn into the mouth of a user for ingestion by the user.

The heating element 100 comprises a base body 10 and a heat generating film 20, the base body 10 is of a longitudinal structure and comprises a bottom end and a top end opposite to the bottom end, and the base body 10 is used for carrying an aerosol generating substrate. The heating films 20 are disposed on the base 10, and include at least two sub-heating films 21 sequentially arranged along the longitudinal direction B of the base 10, and the initial heating power per unit area of the sub-heating film 21 at the top end in each sub-heating film 21 is greater than the initial heating power per unit area of each of the rest sub-heating films 21, which is equivalent to that the initial heating power of the sub-heating film 21 at the top end is greater, and the initial heating power of the sub-heating film 21 at the bottom end is smaller, so that the sub-heating film 21 at the top end can be heated up relatively faster, the initial temperature of the sub-heating film 21 at the bottom end is relatively lower, and the sub-heating film 21 at the top end with higher initial temperature is closer to the position where the user sucks, so as to quickly form aerosol when the user sucks, and improve the sucking taste of several mouths in front of the user.

The heating power change rate of the sub heating film 21 positioned at the top end and having the largest initial heating power per unit area is smaller than the heating power change rate of each of the remaining sub heating films 21. The initial heating power per unit area of the sub-heater 21 located at the tip is maximized, and a high-temperature region is formed at the tip in the initial stage of suction, thereby increasing the aerosol formation rate. Moreover, the heating power change rate of the sub-heating film 21 with the maximum initial heating power is the minimum, the heating power change rates of the other sub-heating films 21 are large, the variation amount of the heating power of the top sub-heating film 21 after being electrified for a period of time is small, the variation amount of the heating power of the bottom sub-heating film 21 is large, the heating powers of the top sub-heating film 21 and the bottom sub-heating film 21 can gradually approach each other, even the heating power of the bottom sub-heating film 21 exceeds the heating power of the top sub-heating film 21, and then the bottom sub-heating film 21 can be quickly heated to approach the temperature of the top sub-heating film 21, and the whole heating film 20 can uniformly heat in the longitudinal direction.

In this way, at least two of the sub-heating films 21 in the heating film 20 ultimately heat-atomize the entire aerosol-generating substrate uniformly, preventing the occurrence of scorching due to local excess temperature in a certain region. At the same time, the whole aerosol generating substrate does not need to be provided with larger heating energy in the initial heating stage, so that the phenomenon that the carbonization speed of the whole aerosol generating substrate is too high to reduce the effective opening number is prevented, and the aerosol generating substrate is fully baked and utilized. Equivalently, aerosol is formed by rapidly baking the high-temperature area at the top end in the initial stage of suction, and then the heating temperature of each area is gradually close to that of the whole aerosol generating substrate, so that the whole aerosol generating substrate is uniformly and sufficiently baked, the phenomenon that the temperature of a certain area is too high for a long time to generate scorch is prevented, the aerosol generating substrate is effectively baked and utilized, and the user experience is improved.

The heating power change rate is a vector, and the heating power change rate may be a positive value or a negative value, for example, the heating power change rate of the top sub-heating film 21 is a negative value, the heating power change rate of the bottom sub-heating film 21 is a positive value, the heating power of the bottom sub-heating film 21 is gradually increased, the power of the top sub-heating film 21 is gradually decreased, and the heating power of the bottom sub-heating film 21 may be inversely exceeded the heating power of the top sub-heating film 21 after a period of time elapses. For another example, the heating power change rates of the top sub-heating film 21 and the bottom sub-heating film 21 are both positive values, and the heating power change rate of the top sub-heating film 21 is small, and the increment is small, so that the heating power of the bottom sub-heating film 21 can be inversely exceeded the heating power of the top sub-heating film 21 after a period of time. For another example, the resistance change rates of the top sub-heating film 21 and the bottom sub-heating film 21 are both negative values, and the heating power change rate of the top sub-heating film 21 is small (the negative value is small, and the absolute value is large), that is, the absolute value of the reduction of the heating power of the top sub-heating film 21 is large, and the heating power of the bottom sub-heating film 21 can be inversely exceeded the heating power of the top sub-heating film 21 after a period of time elapses.

Further, in a direction in which the bottom end points to the top end, the initial heat generation power per unit area of each of the sub heat generation films 21 gradually increases, and the heat generation power change rate of each of the sub heat generation films 21 gradually decreases. That is, the sub heat generating film 21 located at the bottom end initially generates a small amount of heat but has a large rate of change of heat power, and the sub heat generating film 21 located downstream of the suction air flow is closer to the position where the user sucks, and the initial heat generating power is large to form an aerosol quickly but has a small rate of change of heat power. Like this, through the dynamic adjustment of a period of time, the less sub-heating film 21 of initial heating power heats up fast, and the great sub-heating film 21 of initial heating power heats up slowly, and the final heating temperature of the sub-heating film 21 of top and bottom approaches, and the difference in temperature alright reduce between each sub-heating film 21, makes the holistic heating temperature of heating film 20 comparatively even.

Optionally, the final temperature difference between the respective sub-exothermic films 21 is 0-5 degrees, i.e. the final exothermic temperature of the respective sub-exothermic films 21 is the same, or the final temperature difference between the respective sub-exothermic films 21 is smaller, to heat the entire aerosol-generating substrate uniformly.

In some embodiments, at least two of the sub heating films 21 are connected in series, and the initial resistance per unit area of each of the sub heating films 21 connected in series gradually increases along a direction from the bottom end to the top end. In the entire heating circuit, when the plurality of sub heating films 21 are connected in series, the greater the resistance of each sub heating film 21, the greater the heating power, and the proportional relationship therebetween is established. Therefore, the initial resistance of the sub heating film 21 at the bottom end is small, the initial heating power is low, the initial heating temperature is low, the initial resistance of the sub heating film 21 at the top end is large, the initial heating power is large, and the initial heating temperature is high, so as to quickly form aerosol flowing to a position sucked by a user, optionally, two adjacent sub heating films 21 in the heating film 20 are connected in series with each other through edge lamination, or two adjacent sub heating films 21 in the heating film 20 are connected in series through coating of a conductive material.

Each of the sub heat generating films 21 is a thermistor. The resistance change rate of each sub heating film 21 gradually decreases in a direction from the bottom end toward the top end. That is, the resistance value of each sub heating film 21 changes correspondingly with the change of the self temperature. Moreover, the resistance change rate of the sub heating film 21 at the bottom end is large, which is equivalent to that the sub heating film 21 at the bottom end can increase the resistance quickly, and further can increase the heating temperature quickly; the resistance change rate of the sub heating film 21 at the top end is smaller, which is equivalent to that the speed of increasing the resistance of the sub heating film 21 at the top end is slower, and then the heating temperature is increased slowly, so that the heating temperature of the sub heating film 21 at the bottom end can catch up with the heating temperature of the sub heating film 21 at the top terminal after a period of time, and the final heating temperature between every two adjacent sub heating films 21 is close to heat the whole aerosol generating substrate uniformly.

Specifically, taking the number of the sub heating films 21 as two as an example, the initial resistances of the two sub heating films 21 are R1 and R2, the temperature coefficients of the resistances of the two sub heating films 21 are TCR1 and TCR2, respectively, and TCR1 ≠ TCR2, wherein the rate of change of the resistance of one sub heating film 21 is R1 × TCR1, and the rate of change of the resistance of the other sub heating film 21 is R2 × TCR2. In the initial pumping stage, R1 is greater than R2, R1 is TCR1 < R2 is TCR2, the resistance of R2 is increased to be greater than R1 after a period of time, the heating power of R2 is further increased, the heating value of R2 is increased, and the temperature can be quickly increased to be close to the temperature of R1, so that the temperature difference between the two can be reduced, for example, the heating temperature of the two can finally reach the expected temperature.

It is understood that, under the same control condition of the total power and/or the total resistance, by adjusting the magnitude of the difference between R1 and R2 and the difference between R1 TCR1 and R2 TCR2, the time difference between the temperature rise of the two sub heat generating films 21 to the desired temperature can be adjusted; the larger the difference between R1 and R2 is, the larger the time difference between the temperature rise of the two sub heat generation films 21 to the desired temperature is; the smaller the difference between R1 TCR1 and R2 TCR2, the greater the difference in time for the two sub-films 21 to heat up to the desired temperature, and thus a heating element 100 can be designed that fits different sizes of aerosol-generating substrates.

Specifically, in an embodiment, all the sub heating films 21 are made of positive temperature coefficient materials, that is, the resistance of each sub heating film 21 increases gradually with the increase of the temperature, the heating power increases gradually, the resistance change rate of the sub heating film 21 at the top end is small, the increase of the heating power is small, the resistance increase rate of the sub heating film 21 at the bottom end is large, and the increase of the heating power is large, so that the heating power and the temperature between the sub heating films 21 with large initial heating power difference gradually approach each other. Alternatively, the material of each sub heating film 21 is a mixture of metal Ag and glass or a silver-palladium alloy, and is a positive temperature coefficient material, and the appropriate TCR (temperature coefficient of resistance) and resistivity are adjusted by the ratio of the components.

Specifically, in another embodiment, all the sub heating films 21 are made of negative resistance coefficient material, that is, the resistance of each sub heating film 21 gradually decreases with the increase of temperature, the heating power gradually decreases, the change rate of the resistance of the sub heating film 21 at the top end is smaller, the absolute value of the decrease of the resistance value in unit time is larger, the absolute value of the decrease of the heating power is larger, the decrease rate of the resistance of the sub heating film 21 at the bottom end is larger, the absolute value of the decrease of the resistance value in unit time is smaller, and the absolute value of the decrease of the heating power is smaller.

Alternatively, each sub heating film 21 is formed by fully mixing, molding, sintering and other processes of two or more metal oxides of manganese, copper, silicon, cobalt, iron, nickel and zinc, or each sub heating film 21 is a non-oxide material such as silicon carbide, tin selenide, tantalum nitride and the like, is a negative temperature coefficient material, and can adjust a suitable TCR and resistivity by adjusting a component ratio, a sintering atmosphere, a sintering temperature and a structural state.

In another embodiment, a part of the at least two sub heating films 21 at the bottom end is made of positive temperature coefficient material, and another part of the at least two sub heating films 21 at the top end is made of negative temperature coefficient material 21. The resistance change rate of the positive temperature coefficient material is greater than that of the negative temperature coefficient material, namely, the resistance of the bottom terminal heating film 21 is gradually increased, the resistance of the top terminal heating film 21 is gradually reduced until the resistance of the bottom terminal heating film 21 is greater than that of the top terminal heating film 21, the heating power of the bottom terminal heating film 21 is greater at the moment, the bottom terminal heating film 21 can be rapidly heated to be close to the temperature of the top terminal heating film 21, so that the final temperature difference between the adjacent terminal heating films 21 can be reduced, and the aerosol generating substrate can be uniformly heated and baked.

Alternatively, the material of the partial sub heating film 21 is a mixture of metal Ag and glass or a silver-palladium alloy, and is a positive temperature coefficient material, and the appropriate TCR (temperature coefficient of resistance) and resistivity are adjusted by the ratio of the components. Still alternatively, another part of the sub heating films 21 is formed by fully mixing, molding, sintering and other processes of two or more metal oxides of manganese, copper, silicon, cobalt, iron, nickel and zinc, or each sub heating film 21 is a non-oxide material such as silicon carbide, tin selenide and tantalum nitride, and is a negative temperature coefficient material, and the appropriate TCR and resistivity can be adjusted by adjusting the component ratio, the sintering atmosphere, the sintering temperature and the structural state.

In other embodiments, at least two sub heating films 21 are connected in parallel, and the initial resistance per unit area of each sub heating film 21 connected in parallel gradually decreases along the direction from the bottom end to the top end. In the entire heating circuit, when the plurality of sub heating films 21 are connected in parallel, the larger the resistance of each sub heating film 21 is, the smaller the heating power is, and the inverse proportional relationship is formed between the two. Therefore, the initial resistance of the sub heating film 21 at the bottom end is relatively large, the initial heating power is relatively low, the initial heating temperature is relatively low, the initial resistance of the sub heating film 21 at the top end is relatively small, the heating power is relatively large, and the initial heating temperature is relatively high, so that the aerosol flowing to the suction position of the user is rapidly formed. Alternatively, adjacent two sub heating films 21 in the heating film 20 are connected in parallel by coating a conductive material.

Each of the sub heat generating films 21 is a thermistor. The rate of change in resistance of each sub heating film 21 gradually decreases in the direction from the bottom end toward the top end. That is, the resistance value of each sub heating film 21 changes correspondingly with the change of the self temperature. Moreover, the resistance change rate of the sub heating film 21 at the bottom end is large, which is equivalent to that the sub heating film 21 at the downstream can increase the resistance quickly, and further can increase the heating temperature quickly; the resistance change rate of the sub heating film 21 at the top end is smaller, which is equivalent to that the speed of increasing the resistance of the sub heating film 21 at the top end is slower, and then the heating temperature is increased slowly, so that the heating temperature of the sub heating film 21 at the bottom end can catch up with the heating temperature of the sub heating film 21 at the top terminal after a period of time, and the final heating temperature between every two adjacent sub heating films 21 is close to heat the whole aerosol generating substrate uniformly.

Specifically, taking the number of the sub heating films 21 as two as an example, the initial resistances of the two sub heating films 21 are R1 and R2, the temperature coefficients of the resistances of the two sub heating films 21 are TCR1 and TCR2, respectively, and TCR1 ≠ TCR2, wherein the rate of change of the resistance of one sub heating film 21 is R1 × TCR1, and the rate of change of the resistance of the other sub heating film 21 is R2 × TCR2. In the initial pumping stage, R1 < R2, R1 TCR1 < R2 TCR2, that is, the resistance of R2 becomes small rapidly, the heating power becomes large rapidly, until the heating power of R1 is smaller than that of R2, the heating value of R2 is large, and the temperature can be raised to be close to the temperature of R1 rapidly, so as to reduce the temperature difference between the two, for example, to make the heating temperatures of both reach the expected temperature finally.

Specifically, in an embodiment, all the sub heating films 21 are made of positive temperature coefficient materials, that is, the resistance of each sub heating film 21 gradually increases with the increase of the temperature, the heating power gradually decreases, the resistance change rate of the sub heating film 21 at the bottom end is smaller, the heating power decrease amount is smaller, the resistance increase rate of the sub heating film 21 at the top end is larger, and the heating power decrease amount is larger, so that the heating power and the temperature between the two with a larger initial heating power difference gradually approach each other.

Alternatively, the material of each sub heating film 21 is a mixture of metal Ag and glass or a silver-palladium alloy, and is a positive temperature coefficient material, and the appropriate TCR (temperature coefficient of resistance) and resistivity are adjusted by the ratio of the components.

Specifically, in another embodiment, all the sub heating films 21 are made of negative resistance coefficient materials, that is, the resistance of each sub heating film 21 gradually decreases with the increase of temperature, the heating power gradually increases, the resistance change rate of the sub heating film 21 at the bottom end is small, the amount of decrease of the resistance value of the sub heating film 21 in unit time is large, and the absolute value of increase of the heating power is large; the resistance reduction rate of the sub heating film 21 positioned at the top end is large, the reduction amount of the resistance value of the sub heating film 21 in unit time is small, the absolute value of the increase of the heating power is small, so that the heating power is increased by the small absolute value in the area with the high initial temperature, the heating power is increased by the large absolute value in the area with the low initial temperature, the heating power in the area with the low initial temperature can be larger than the heating power in the area with the high initial temperature gradually, the heating temperature can be increased at a high speed, and the final heating temperature between the two with the large initial heating temperature difference can be gradually close to each other.

In another embodiment, a part of the at least two sub heat generating films 21 located at the bottom end is made of a positive temperature coefficient material, and another part of the at least two sub heat generating films 21 located at the top end is made of a negative temperature coefficient material. The initial resistance of the bottom sub-heating film 21 is greater than that of the downstream sub-heating film 21, and the resistance change rate of the positive temperature coefficient material is greater than that of the negative temperature coefficient material, i.e. the resistance of the top sub-heating film 21 is gradually increased, the heating power is gradually reduced, the resistance of the bottom sub-heating film 21 is gradually reduced, and the heating power is gradually increased until the heating power of the top sub-heating film 21 is less than that of the bottom sub-heating film 21, and at this time, the heating power of the bottom sub-heating film 21 is greater, so that the temperature of the bottom sub-heating film 21 is rapidly increased to be close to that of the top sub-heating film 21, and thus the final temperature difference between the adjacent sub-heating films 21 can be reduced, and the aerosol generating substrate can be uniformly heated and baked.

In some embodiments, the heating element 100 further includes a first electrode layer 32 and a second electrode layer 34 disposed on the substrate 10, the first electrode layer 32 and the second electrode layer 34 are respectively in contact with two sub heating films 21 at the head and tail ends of at least two heating films 20, so that the first electrode layer 32 and the second electrode layer 34 are respectively disposed at the head and tail ends of all the sub heating films 21 to form connection terminals for connecting the heating films 20 with the outside, and thus, power can be conveniently supplied to the heating films 20.
