The heating element 33 is made of a resistance heating material capable of generating heat when being electrified, the heating element 33 can be attached to the side 323 of the substrate 32 by any one of thick film printing, surface spraying, electroplating, PVD or CVD coating, laser carving and the like, so that heat generated on the heating element 33 can be transferred to the substrate 32, and then transferred to the aerosol-generating product 200 in the chamber 31 by the substrate 32, thereby realizing heating of the aerosol-generating product 200.
It will be readily appreciated that the substrate 32 is fabricated from a highly thermally conductive material to efficiently transfer heat generated by the heating element 33 to the aerosol-generating article 200. The high thermal conductivity material may be a metal or a ceramic material, and the ceramic material may be any one of an oxide, nitride, carbide, boride, and the like.

As shown in fig. 2, the heating assembly 22 further includes an electrode 331 disposed on the heating element 33, where the electrode 331 covers a partial surface of the heating element 33 to be electrically connected to the heating element 33, and similarly, the electrode 331 may be attached to the surface of the heating element 33 by any one of thick film printing, surface spraying, electroplating, PVD or CVD coating, laser engraving, and the like. The electrode 331 includes a positive electrode 3311 and a negative electrode 3312 disposed opposite to each other, and the heating element 33 is located between the positive electrode 3311 and the negative electrode 3312.
As shown in fig. 2, 3 and 4, the positive electrode 3311 and the negative electrode 3312 are disposed adjacently and longitudinally extending between the first surface 321 and the second surface 322, the heating element 33 includes a first heating region 332 and a second heating region 333, the second heating region 333 is distributed on both sides of the first heating region 332, wherein the second heating region 333 on one side is electrically connected with the positive electrode 3311, the second heating region 333 on the other side is electrically connected with the negative electrode 3312, the resistance value of the first heating region 332 is smaller than the resistance value of the second heating region 333, and the first heating region 332 and the electrode 331 are disposed substantially 180 degrees in the circumferential direction of the substrate 32, that is, the first heating region 332 is disposed right opposite to the electrode 331, and the second heating region 333 is symmetrically distributed with respect to the first heating region 332.
Since the resistance value of the first heating region 332 is smaller than the resistance value of the second heating region 333, so that when the electrode 331 supplies power to the heating element 33, current flows from the positive electrode 3311 to the negative electrode 3312, since the first heating region 332 and the second heating region 333 are connected in series, the current flowing through the first heating region 332 and the second heating region 333 is equal, and since the resistance value of the first heating region 332 is smaller than the resistance value of the second heating region 333, the heat generated by the first heating region 332 is smaller than the heat generated by the second heating region 333. The material of the first heating region 332 may preferably be a low resistance metal such as silver or copper, and the material of the second heating region 333 may preferably be a high resistance metal such as iron or aluminum.
In this embodiment, the first heating region 332 is disposed right opposite to the electrode 331, so that the first heating region 332 is located in the central region of the heating element 33, and the resistance heating characteristic is balanced because the resistance heating itself has the characteristic that the temperature of the central region is generally higher, that is, the temperature of the two ends is generally lower, that is, the temperature of the second heating region 333 is lower, the temperature of the first heating region 332 is higher, while the resistance value of the second heating region 333 is set higher, and the resistance value of the first heating region 332 is set lower, so that the entire heating element 33 can generate heat uniformly.
In some embodiments, to further balance the resistive heating characteristics and thereby provide a better uniform heating effect of the heating element 33, the first heating region 332, the second heating region 333, and the electrode 331 are substantially identical in shape. As shown in fig. 4, when the heating element 33 is unfolded, the first heating region 332, the second heating region 333, and the electrode 331 are rectangular in shape, so that the second heating region 333 may be better symmetrically arranged about the first heating region 332, which is more advantageous for balancing the above-described characteristics of resistance heating.
And in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, when the shapes of the first heating region 332, the second heating region 333 and the electrode 331 are substantially the same, the sum of the areas of the positive electrode 3311 and the negative electrode 3312, that is, the area of the electrode 331 is substantially the same as the area of the first heating region 332, and the areas of the second heating regions 333 distributed on both sides of the first heating region 332 are also substantially the same, which is advantageous for further balancing the above heating characteristics of the resistance.
Alternatively, in some embodiments, when the shapes of the first heating region 332, the second heating region 333, and the electrode 331 are substantially the same, the areas of the electrode of the positive electrode 3311 and the electrode of the negative electrode 3312 are also substantially the same, and the areas of the second heating region 333 distributed on both sides of the first heating region 332 may also be substantially the same, which is also advantageous for further balancing the above heating characteristics of the resistance.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, to avoid shorting the positive electrode 3311 and the negative electrode 3312, an insulating layer 34 is also attached to the surface of the electrode 331, the insulating layer 34 being used to electrically isolate the electrode 331. And, in some embodiments, the insulating layer 34 is provided with a through hole 341, and the heating element 33 further includes a wire 35 for electrically connecting the electrode 331 with the motherboard 20, where the wire 35 passes through the through hole 341 and is electrically connected with the electrode 331.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, the heating element 33 includes a first heating element 334 and a second heating element 335 sequentially distributed along the length of the substrate 32, the first heating element 334 is provided with an electrode 3341, and the first heating element 334 also includes a first heating region 3342 and a second heating region 3343; similarly, the second heating element 335 is provided with an electrode 3351, a first heating region 3352 and a second heating region 3353, the first heating region 3342 and the electrode 3341 are disposed substantially 180 degrees along the circumferential direction of the substrate 32, and the second heating region 3352 and the electrode 3351 are disposed substantially 180 degrees along the circumferential direction of the substrate 32, so as to balance the resistive heating characteristics of the first heating element 334 and the second heating element 335, i.e., the temperature of the central region far from the electrode is higher and the temperature of the two end regions near the electrode is lower during resistive heating.
Configuring the heating element 33 as a first heating element 334 and a second heating element 335 distributed sequentially along the length of the substrate 32 may result in a more uniform amount of heat being generated by the heating element 33 and thus transferred to the aerosol-generating article 200 than if the heating element 33 alone was heated. While in other embodiments the heating element 33 may be more, for example 3 or 4.
Further in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, the first heating area 3342 and the second heating area 3352 are aligned in the longitudinal direction, where the electrode 3341 of the first heating element 334 and the electrode 3351 of the second heating element 335 are also aligned in the longitudinal direction, that is, when the heating element 33 includes a plurality of heating elements, the plurality of first heating areas are disposed on the plurality of first heating areas in the longitudinal direction, so that the heating temperature of the entire heating element 33 can be balanced better, and the heating element 33 can generate uniform heat on the whole.
Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical solution of the present application, and are not limiting thereof; the technical features of the above embodiments or in the different embodiments may also be combined under the idea of the present application, the steps may be implemented in any order, and there are many other variations of the different aspects of the present application as described above, which are not provided in details for the sake of brevity; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it should be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that: the technical scheme described in the foregoing embodiments can be modified or some technical features thereof can be replaced by equivalents; such modifications and substitutions do not depart from the spirit of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
