A heating mechanism and an aerosol-generating device according to embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to fig. 1 to 6. It is noted that the following examples are merely for explaining the present application and are not to be construed as limiting the present application.
Example 1:
referring mainly to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides an aerosol-generating device comprising a heating mechanism 2, at least part of a cigarette 1 being receivable in the aerosol-generating device, the heating mechanism 2 being adapted to heat air to form a flow of hot air, the flow of hot air flowing into the cigarette 1 and to bake tobacco in the cigarette 1, such that the cigarette 1 produces an aerosol that can be consumed by a user.
Referring mainly to fig. 2 and 3, the heating mechanism 2 includes a porous substrate 21 and a heat generating tube 22.
The heating tube 22 is hollow and tubular, and is at least partially embedded in the porous substrate 21, i.e., the heating tube 22 may be formed in the porous substrate 21 by insert molding, or the heating tube 22 may be coupled to the porous substrate 21 by insertion. The heat generating pipe 22 is used for generating heat and can release the heat.
The heating tube 22 may contain a resistive heating material capable of generating joule heat when energized. Suitable resistive materials include, but are not limited to: semiconductors such as doped ceramics, conductive ceramics (e.g., molybdenum disilicide), carbon, graphite, metals, metal alloys, and composites made of ceramic materials and metal materials. Such composite materials may include doped or undoped ceramics. Examples of suitable doped ceramics include doped silicon carbide. Examples of suitable metals include titanium, zirconium, tantalum, and platinum group metals. Examples of suitable metal alloys include stainless steel, constantan (Constantan), nickel-containing alloys, cobalt-containing alloys, chromium-containing alloys, aluminum-containing alloys, titanium-containing alloys, zirconium-containing alloys, hafnium-containing alloys, niobium-containing alloys, molybdenum-containing alloys, tantalum-containing alloys, tungsten-containing alloys, tin-containing alloys, gallium-containing alloys, manganese-containing alloys, and iron-containing alloys, as well as nickel-, iron-, cobalt-based superalloys, stainless steel, iron-aluminum-based alloys, and iron-manganese-aluminum-based alloys. In the composite material, the resistive material may be embedded in, encapsulated or coated by the insulating material, or vice versa, as desired, depending on the kinetics of energy transfer and the desired external physicochemical properties.
The heating tube 22 may include a base tube, and the resistive heating material may be disposed on the base tube, for example, the resistive heating material may be prepared as a heating coil, a heating line, a heating film, a heating mesh, or the like, and the resistive heating material may be bonded on the base tube by winding, sintering, embedding, printing, spraying, or the like. It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the heating tube 22 may be made of conductive ceramics.
The heating tube 22 may further include two electrodes electrically connected to opposite ends of the resistive heating material, respectively. Both electrodes may extend to the distal end of the heat pipe 22, thereby facilitating welding of both electrodes to the lead wire 23.
Referring to fig. 1 and 5, the aerosol-generating device further comprises a power supply assembly 3, the power supply assembly 3 comprising a battery cell and a circuit board, the circuit board being electrically connected to the battery cell, the circuit board being configured to control the power supplied from the battery cell to the heating mechanism, so that the power supply assembly 3 is capable of controlling the operation of the heating mechanism 1, and in particular, the power supply assembly 3 is capable of controlling the operation of the heating tube 22 by controlling the power supplied to the heating tube 22. The heating mechanism 2 further comprises two wires 23, one ends of the two wires 23 are respectively welded with the two electrodes, and the other ends of the two wires 23 are respectively connected with the power supply assembly 3, so that the heating tube 22 can take electricity from the power supply assembly 3 through the two wires 23, and further joule heat is generated.
The porous substrate 21 is provided with air holes 211 allowing air to pass therethrough, and the number of the air holes 211 may be one or more. Air can flow from the distal end face of the porous substrate 21 to the proximal end face of the porous substrate 21 through the air holes 211, that is, the air inlet of the air holes 211 is opened on the distal end face of the porous substrate 21, and the air outlet of the air holes 211 is opened on the proximal end face of the porous substrate 21, wherein the distal end face of the porous substrate 21 and the proximal end face of the porous substrate 21 are two oppositely arranged end faces. Also, the proximal face of the porous matrix 21 may be closer to the cigarette 1 received in the aerosol-generating device than the distal face of the porous matrix 21. Accordingly, when the cigarette received in the aerosol-generating device is smoked, i.e. when a smoking event occurs, cold air enters the air holes 211 and the porous matrix 21 from the air inlet of the air holes 211, and the cold air is heated during the flow within the air holes 211, eventually forming a hot air flow which exits the air holes 211 and the porous matrix 21 from the air outlet of the air holes 211.
The porous matrix 21 is not self-heating, and heats up mainly by absorbing heat released from the heat receiving and transmitting pipe 22 and releases at least part of the absorbed heat to heat the air flowing through the air holes 211, so that the air flowing through the air holes 211 forms a hot air flow.
The porous matrix 21 may contain a thermally conductive material, which refers to a material having a thermal conductivity greater than or equal to 100W/m.k, and may be, for example, graphite, graphene, graphite alloy, aluminum, copper, zinc, steel, silver, or the like. Therefore, the porous substrate 21 can rapidly transfer heat under the heat released by the heating tube 22, so that the heat can be uniformly distributed on the porous substrate 21, which is beneficial to reducing the temperature distribution gradient on the porous substrate 21 and uniformly heating the air flowing through the air holes 211.
Referring to fig. 6, the air holes 211 have a plurality of air holes 211, and the plurality of air holes 211 may be arranged in layers around the periphery of the heat generating tube 22, for example, the plurality of air holes 211 may be arranged in a plurality of layers, and each layer may form a concentric circle with the heat generating tube 22. In more detail, the heating tube 22 may be located at the center of the porous substrate 21.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 2 and 3, the proximal end surface of the porous substrate 21 is disposed facing the bottom of the cigarette 1 received in the aerosol-generating device, and the proximal end surface of the porous substrate 21 is parallel to the bottom of the cigarette 1, in order to prevent the tobacco tar permeated by the cigarette 1 from leaking into the heating tube 22, the proximal end of the heating tube 22 is disposed inside the porous substrate 21 and the proximal end of the heating tube 22 is isolated from the proximal end surface of the porous substrate 21, so that the tobacco tar leaked onto the proximal end surface of the porous substrate 21 cannot contact the heating tube 22, thereby protecting the heating tube 22.
Referring to fig. 4 and 5, the heating mechanism 1 may further include a temperature measuring part 27, and the temperature measuring part 27 is connected to the porous substrate 21, so that the temperature measuring part 27 can detect the temperature of the porous substrate 21. Since the air flowing through the air holes 211 is warmed up mainly by absorbing heat released from the porous substrate 21 and the heat generating pipe 22 is warmed up and heated up under the control of the power supply module 3, the temperature of the porous substrate 21 is closer to the temperature of the air flowing through the air holes 211 than the temperature of the heat generating pipe 22. It will be appreciated that the temperature measuring member 27 may also be connected to the power supply assembly 3 to transmit at least one electrical parameter or data to the power supply assembly 3 caused by the temperature of the porous matrix 21.
Specifically, the temperature measuring part 27 may include two thermocouple wires 271 and a metal ring 272, the two thermocouple wires 271 are made of different materials, the metal ring 272 may be made of a heat conductive material such as copper or a copper alloy, and the metal ring 272 surrounds the outer side of the porous substrate 21 such that the metal ring 272 has substantially the same temperature as the outer side of the porous substrate 21. The hot ends of the two thermocouple wires 271 may be welded together to the metal ring 272 after being connected to each other, or the hot ends of the two thermocouple wires 271 may both be welded to the metal ring 272 and the two thermocouple wires 271 are electrically connected through the metal ring 272. The two thermocouple wires 271 and the metal ring 272 constitute a thermocouple for detecting the temperature of the porous substrate 21, and the thermocouple is connected to the outer side surface of the porous substrate 21, so that the temperature of the outer side surface of the porous substrate 21 can be detected. The cold ends of the two thermocouple wires 271 are used for connection with the circuit board of the power supply unit 3.
Since the cool air can pass through the porous substrate 21 through the air holes 211 and exchange heat with the porous substrate 21 during the passing through the porous substrate 21, a temperature change of the porous substrate 21 is caused when a large amount of cool air flows into the air holes 211, so that it is possible to determine whether a pumping event occurs by checking the temperature change of the porous substrate 21. The heating tube 22 is heated and warmed up under control of the power supply assembly 3, so that the temperature change of the heating tube 22 is not significant relative to the temperature change of the porous substrate 21 upon occurrence of a pumping event. The detection of the temperature change of the porous substrate 21 by the temperature measuring part 27 is more accurate and reliable than the detection of the temperature change of the heating tube 22 to judge the pumping event. When the temperature measuring member 27 is connected to the outer side surface of the porous base 21 and the heating tube 22 is located at the center of the porous base 21, the temperature change is more remarkable and severe than that of the outer side surface of the porous base 21 when a pumping event occurs, so that the sensitivity and accuracy of the pumping event judgment can be further improved and the missing judgment and the erroneous judgment can be reduced by connecting the temperature measuring member 27 to the outer side surface of the porous base 21.
More specifically, referring to fig. 4, the porous substrate 21 may be partially formed into the first portion 213 and partially formed into the second portion 214, and the first portion 213 and the second portion 214 may be integrally formed, or the first portion 213 and the second portion 214 may be separately formed and then assembled or connected to form a part of the porous substrate 21. The distal end face of the porous matrix 21 is the end face of the second portion 214, whereby the air holes 211 penetrate the first portion 213 and the second portion 214, and the second portion 214 is located upstream of the first portion 213 along the flow direction of the air flow in the porous matrix 21. Wherein the heat pipe 22 is embedded in the first portion 213, e.g., the heat pipe 22 is embedded in the center of the first portion 213; the metal ring 272 surrounds the outer side of the second portion 214, i.e., the metal ring 272 is located upstream of the heating tube 22; and a space is provided between the metal ring 272 and the heat generating tube 22 in the radial direction of the porous base 21. Therefore, when cool air is introduced or when there is a pumping event, the temperature measuring part 27 can greatly improve the detection precision and accuracy of the pumping event by detecting the temperature change of the surface of the second part 214, compared to the first part 213 and other parts of the porous substrate 21, in which the temperature change of the second part 214 is most remarkable and intense. Wherein, referring to fig. 4, the center of the first portion 213 may be provided with a mounting hole, which may be a blind hole closed at a proximal end, and the second portion 214 may be provided with an inlet hole communicating with the mounting hole, and the heating tube 22 may be configured to pass through the inlet hole and be embedded in the mounting hole.
The hot ends of the two thermocouple wires 271 may be closer to the distal end of the metal ring 272 than to the proximal end of the metal ring 272 to further improve the sensitivity and accuracy of detecting aspiration events.
The circuit board in the power supply module 3 may count the number of suction ports based on the suction event and control the heat generation temperature of the heat generation pipe 22 based on the number of suction ports. Alternatively, the circuit board in the power supply assembly 3 may control other operations of the aerosol-generating device based on the puff event, such as controlling a respiratory light on the aerosol-generating device to flash or a motor to vibrate, etc.
The metal rings 272 may have an extension length in the longitudinal direction of the porous substrate 21 of between 1mm and 2mm. The second portion 214 may have an extension in the longitudinal direction of the porous substrate 21 of between 1mm and 2mm. The extension length of the metal ring 272 in the longitudinal direction of the porous base 21 may be equal to the extension length of the second portion 214 in the longitudinal direction of the porous base 21.
Referring to fig. 2 and 3, the heating mechanism 2 further includes a heat insulating pipe 24.
The thermal barrier 24 may be made of a thermally insulating material, meaning that the thermal conductivity of the material is less than 100W/m.k, preferably less than 40W/m.k or less than 10W/m.k at 23 ℃ and 50% relative humidity. For example, the insulating material may be made of at least one of PAEK-like material, PI material, or PBI material, wherein the PAEK-like material includes PEEK, PEKK, PEKEKK or PEK material. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 3, the thermal insulation tube 24 is a vacuum tube with a vacuum interlayer.
Referring to fig. 2 and 3, the porous substrate 21 is held in the heat insulating tube 24, and the heat insulating tube 24 helps to reduce heat loss on the porous substrate 21, and helps to improve the heating efficiency of the porous substrate 21 to air and reduce energy consumption. The interior of the insulating tube 24 may also be formed with a receiving chamber 25 for receiving at least part of the cigarette 1, the receiving chamber 25 being located downstream of the porous matrix 21 in the direction of the airflow within the insulating tube 24.
Referring to fig. 3 and 6, the heating mechanism 1 further includes a ceramic support 26, the ceramic support 26 is disposed on the periphery of the porous substrate 21, and the ceramic support 26 abuts against the heat insulation tube 24. The ceramic scaffold 26 may further insulate the porous matrix 21 on the one hand and may help to retain the porous matrix 21 in the insulating tube 24 on the other hand.
The ceramic support 26 may include a first support 261 having a substantially semicircular shape and a second support 262 having a substantially semicircular shape, the porous substrate 21 being surrounded by the first support 261 and the second support 262, and the first support 261 and the second support 262 may be mirror images of each other. By dividing the ceramic support 26 into the first support 261 and the second support 262, the difficulty in assembling the porous base 21 into the ceramic support 26 is reduced, and it can be ensured that the porous base 21 is not worn out when the porous base 21 is assembled into the ceramic support 26.
In embodiments where the insulating tube 24 is a vacuum tube, the insulating tube 24 may be made of metal, such as stainless steel, which has a relatively high hardness, the inner and outer side walls of the vacuum tube may be relatively small in thickness, thereby helping to reduce the overall thickness of the vacuum tube and to miniaturize the heating mechanism 2. However, the metal has a higher thermal conductivity and the gas flow temperature near the proximal face of the porous matrix 21 is highest, so that the wall of the insulating tube 24 near the proximal face of the porous matrix 21 has a higher temperature.
In order to prevent the bottom of the cigarette 1 from being burnt by high temperature or burning at high temperature, the receiving chamber 25 of the heat insulating tube 24 may have a first chamber 251 and a second chamber 252 which are communicated with each other, the second chamber 252 being located between the first chamber 251 and the porous substrate 21, the second chamber 252 having an inner diameter larger than that of the first chamber 251, the bottom of the cigarette 1 being accommodated in the second chamber 252 such that the bottom of the cigarette 1 is spaced from the wall of the heat insulating tube 24 defining the second chamber 252.
Referring to fig. 4 and 5, the distal end of the porous substrate 21 has a groove 212, a metal ring 272 is disposed at the periphery of the groove 212, and the hot ends of two thermocouple wires 271 are welded with the metal ring 272 in the groove 212. So that the hot end of the wire 271 does not interfere with the assembly of the porous matrix 21 with the ceramic support 26.
Referring to fig. 4 and 5, the outer diameter of the metal ring 272 is equal to the outer diameter of the first portion 213 of the porous substrate 21, so that the metal ring 272 does not affect the assembly of the porous substrate 21 with the ceramic support 26, and helps to ensure that the ceramic support 26 is better able to retain the porous substrate 21.
In the heating mechanism and the aerosol-generating device described above, the air holes in the porous substrate allow air to flow from the distal surface of the porous substrate to the proximal surface of the porous substrate, i.e. cool air enters the porous substrate from the distal surface of the porous substrate, so that the temperature change at the distal surface of the porous substrate is most severe when a pumping event occurs. The hot ends of the two thermocouple wires are connected to the metal ring, so that the two thermocouple wires and the metal ring form a thermocouple capable of detecting temperature, the metal ring surrounds the outer side face of the porous base, and the metal ring is arranged adjacent to the far end face of the porous base, so that the thermocouple can accurately detect temperature change caused by cold air entering, and an accurate and reliable basis can be provided for judging whether a suction event occurs or not.
The foregoing is illustrative of the present utility model and is not to be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model, but rather as enabling modifications, variations in the structure, shape and principles of the utility model, which are obvious to those skilled in the art, are intended to be included within the scope of the utility model.
