Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to the technical field of electronic atomization, and particularly relates to an aerosol generation base material, and an aerosol generation device and system.

DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART

A heat-not-burning (HNB) device is a kind of electronic equipment that heats, but does not burn, an aerosol generation base material (which is a product of processed plant leaves). The heating device heats, at a high temperature, the aerosol generation base material to a temperature that can generate an aerosol, but is not sufficient to cause burning, so that, without being caused to burn, the aerosol generation base material generates an aerosol desired by a user.
The heat-not-burning devices that are currently available in the market generally adopts resistor heating means, namely a centered heating plate or a heating pin perforates, at a center location of the aerosol generation base material, into the interior of the aerosol generation base material to proceed with heating. Such a utensil takes a long time to wait for preheating before use, making it hard to freely start or stop vaping, and the aerosol generation base material cannot be uniformly carbonized, leading to insufficient baking of the aerosol generation base material and low efficiency of utilization. Secondly, the heating plate of the HNB device may easily causes generation of contaminants, which are hard to cleanse, in an aerosol generation base material extractor and a heating plate holder, and a portion of the aerosol generation base material that is in contact with the heating body may get locally excessively high temperature, causing partial decomposition and releasing substances that are harmful to humans. Thus, the resistor heating means is gradually replaced by microwave heating technology, which becomes a new solution of heating. The microwave heating technology has advantages in respect of high efficiency, timeliness, optionality, and non-delay heating, and is only effective of heating for specific substances having certain dielectric properties. Advantages of microwave heating based atomization include: (a) instantaneous vaping or stopping being achievable as the microwave heating is radiation based heating, rather than heat conduction; (b) there being no plate breaking or heating plate cleansing issues as no heating plate is involved; and (c) the utilization efficiency of the aerosol generation base material being high and mouthfeel being consistent, and the mouthfeel being much closer to cigarettes.
However, although the portion of the aerosol generation base material that is at a location close to a microwave emission end can be uniformly heated, yet portions of the aerosol generation base material that are at locations away from the microwave emission end have relatively poor heating effect, leading to the utilization efficiency of the aerosol generation base material being relatively low.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The application is made to resolve one of the technical issues that the prior art or the related art is suffering.
In view of this, in a first aspect, the application provides an aerosol generation base, which comprises: an aerosol base material section. An aerosol base material is arranged in the interior of the aerosol base material section. The aerosol base material section is provided with an insertion section, the insertion section configured to receive insertion of a resonance pillar of an aerosol generation device therein, and spaced from the resonance pillar.
The aerosol base material section is provided therein with the aerosol base material, and when a microwave acts on the aerosol base material, the aerosol base material is heated as acted upon by the microwave, so that the aerosol base material generates an aerosol. The aerosol base material section is formed with the insertion section, and the resonance pillar is inserted into the insertion section. Distances between the resonance pillar and two ends of the aerosol base material section are both reduced, and a portion of the aerosol base material section having a relatively large distance from the resonance pillar does not easily occur, meaning the aerosol base material in every portion of the aerosol base material section can be uniformly heated by the microwave transmitted through the resonance pillar, helping enhance the utilization efficiency of the aerosol base material.
The resonance pillar and the aerosol base material section are arranged to space from each other to prevent contact between the resonance pillar and the aerosol base material, so as to avoid contamination of the resonance pillar and reduce the working load of cleansing the resonance pillar.
Further, the aerosol generation base of the above technical solution provided according to the application may further comprise the following additional technical features:
In a feasible arrangement, the aerosol base material section further comprises: a isolation section. The aerosol base material is disposed in the isolation section. The isolation section is configured to isolate the aerosol base material and the resonance pillar from each other.
In the arrangement, the aerosol base material section comprises the aerosol base material and the isolation section, wherein the aerosol base material is located inside the isolation section, and the isolation section encloses the aerosol base material to prevent the aerosol base material from contacting the resonance pillar, so as to avoid contact between the aerosol base material and the resonance pillar. Further, the aerosol base material, when heated, shows a relatively high temperature, and arranging the aerosol base material to be isolated from the resonance pillar helps prevent adhering and attaching of the aerosol base material to the resonance pillar, and the working load of cleansing the resonance pillar is reduced.
Certainly, to prevent adhering and attaching between the isolation section and the resonance pillar, the isolation section is necessarily made of a material that is not easy to react with the microwave, and, the isolation section is necessarily arranged to show an effect of supporting. Thus, the isolation section can be made of at least one of high permeability rigid paper sheet, white kraft paper, poly tetra fluoroethylene film, porous ceramic plate, synthetic resin, chemical fiber product, polylactic acid film, aluminum foil sheet, and nonwoven fabric.
In a feasible arrangement, the insertion section perforates completely through the aerosol base material section.
In the arrangement, the insertion section is set to completely penetrate through the aerosol base material section, and since the resonance pillar needs to be inserted into the aerosol base material section, directly forming a penetration section in the aerosol base material section could enhance easiness of machining of the insertion section. Further, since the resonance pillar may penetrate through the aerosol base material section, adjusting a size of the resonance pillar located inside the insertion section can be easily achieved. The size of the resonance pillar that is inserted into the insertion section can be varied according to the thickness of the aerosol base material section, so as to allow the aerosol base material in the aerosol base material section to be uniformly heated to improve the effect of heating to the aerosol base material and also to enhance the utilization efficiency of the aerosol base material.
In a feasible arrangement, the aerosol base material section further comprises: a constraining member, which is arranged in the insertion section and configured to abut the end of the resonance pillar.
In the arrangement, the receptacle section is provided internally with the constraining member, and the constraining member is configured to constrain and position the resonance pillar. Specifically, the constraining member constrains a maximum size of the resonance pillar that is insertable into the insertion section. Although insertion of the resonance pillar into the insertion section could help improve the effect of heating to the aerosol base material, yet the effect of heating is not bettered with the greater length of insertion, and instead, it is necessary to have the microwave transmitting through the end of the resonance pillar uniformly acting on the aerosol base material in each portion of the interior of the aerosol base material section. In case that the resonance pillar is extended to penetrate through the insertion section, there will be a situation that a great portion of the microwave transmitting through the end of the resonance pillar does not act on the aerosol base material, resulting in wastage of microwave. If the end of the resonance pillar perforates through the insertion section, then there will be a situation that one side of the aerosol base material section that faces the resonance chamber is spaced by a relatively large distance from the end of the resonance pillar, and the heating effect that the end of the resonance pillar applied toward the side of the aerosol base material section that faces the resonance chamber will be lowered. To ensure that the resonance pillar can uniformly heat each portion of the aerosol base material, the constraining member constrains the maximum length that the resonance pillar is allowed to be inserted into the insertion section, so as to guarantee the effect of heating to the aerosol base material and enhance the utilization efficiency of the aerosol base material.
In a feasible arrangement, the constraining member comprises at least two parts, and the at least two parts of the constraining member are arranged at intervals in a circumferential direction of the insertion section; or alternatively, the constraining member is of an annular structure.
In the arrangement, the structure of the constraining member is set, and the constraining member comprises at least two parts, and the at least two parts of the constraining member are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the insertion section. The at least two parts of the constraining member can constrain and position the end of the resonance pillar. Since the at least two parts of the constraining member are arranged at intervals, the end of the resonance pillar can be uniformly acted upon by resisting forces, so as to prevent situations of angular deviation of the resonance pillar with respect to the aerosol generation base, reducing damage rate of the aerosol generation base and the resonance pillar, and thus enhancing users' experience of using the aerosol generation device.
Certainly, the constraining member can possibly be made in an annular structure. The constraining member of an annular structure can also stably constrain and position the end of the resonance pillar, to prevent angular deviation of the resonance pillar with respect to the aerosol generation device.
In a second aspect, the application provides an aerosol generation device, which comprises: a housing, the housing formed with a resonance chamber; a microwave assembly, which is arranged in the housing, the microwave assembly configured to feed microwaves into the resonance chamber; and a resonance pillar, a first end of the resonance pillar being connected to a chamber bottom wall of the resonance chamber, a second end of the resonance pillar facing an opening of the resonance chamber, the resonance pillar configured to be inserted into the aerosol generation base, wherein when the resonance pillar is inserted into the aerosol generation base, the resonance pillar and the aerosol generation base are spaced from each other.

The resonance pillar is inserted into the aerosol base material section, and the distances between the resonance pillar and the two ends of the aerosol base material section are made relatively small, so that a portion of the aerosol base material section having a relatively large distance from the resonance pillar does not easily occur, meaning the aerosol base material in every portion of the interior of the aerosol base material section can be uniformly heated by the microwave transmitted through the resonance pillar, and the utilization efficiency of the aerosol base material can be advantageously enhanced.
The resonance pillar and the aerosol base material section are arranged to isolate from each other so as to prevent contact between the resonance pillar and the aerosol base material, thereby avoiding occurrence of contamination on the resonance pillar and the working load of cleansing the resonance pillar is reduced.

In a feasible arrangement, the aerosol generation device further comprises: a holder, which is arranged in the housing. The holder is located in the resonance chamber.

A radial dimension of the aerosol generation base is made equal to or smaller than a radial dimension of the mounting compartment. The aerosol assembly can be tightly inserted into the mounting compartment to make the aerosol generation base not readily detach from the holder, ensuring the security of mounting of the aerosol assembly.

The aerosol base material section is provided therein with the insertion section, and the resonance pillar is insertable into the insertion section, and the distances between the resonance pillar and the two ends of the aerosol base material section are made relatively small, so that a portion of the aerosol base material section having a relatively large distance from the resonance pillar does not easily occur, meaning the aerosol base material in every portion of the interior of the aerosol base material section can be uniformly heated by the microwave transmitted through the resonance pillar, and the utilization efficiency of the aerosol base material can be advantageously enhanced.
The resonance pillar and the aerosol base material section are arranged to isolate from each other so as to prevent contact between the resonance pillar and the aerosol base material, thereby avoiding occurrence of contamination on the resonance pillar and the working load of cleansing the resonance pillar is reduced.
In a feasible arrangement, the aerosol generation system further comprises: a holder, which is arranged in the housing. The holder is located in the resonance chamber. The holder is formed with a mounting compartment. The mounting compartment is configured to receive a portion of the aerosol generation base to insert thereinto.
In the arrangement, the housing is provided with the holder, and the holder is formed with the mounting compartment to allow a portion of the aerosol generation base to insert into the mounting compartment to mount the aerosol generation base to the holder, so that the aerosol generation base does not easily shake relative to the housing to thereby enhance stability when users operate the aerosol generation device.

Since the second lead-in part faces toward the bottom wall of the resonance chamber, the microwave is transmitted toward the bottom wall of the resonance chamber, and the microwave at the bottom wall of the resonance chamber is transmitted by means of the resonance pillar toward the aerosol base material. Arranging the second lead-in part to face toward the bottom wall of the resonance chamber ensures the microwave can be transmitted such that the transmission of the microwave in the resonance pillar starts from the first end thereof. When the microwave is transmitted through the first lead-in part and the second lead-in part, the direction of transmission of the microwave is changed.

The first lead-in part is arranged on the sidewall of the housing, and the first lead-in part is connected to the microwave emission source, so that the microwave generated by the microwave emission source is fed through the first lead-in part into the resonance chamber.

Referring jointly to FIGS. 1 and 2, in a feasible embodiment, the aerosol base material section 310 further comprises a isolation section 312, and the aerosol base material 311 is located inside the isolation section 312. The isolation section 312 functions to isolate the aerosol base material 311 and the resonance pillar 400 from each other.
In the embodiment, the aerosol base material section 310 comprises the aerosol base material 311 and the isolation section 312, wherein the aerosol base material 311 is located inside the isolation section 312, and the isolation section 312 encloses the aerosol base material 311 to prevent the aerosol base material 311 from contacting the resonance pillar 400. Further, the aerosol base material 311, when heated, shows a relatively high temperature, and arranging the aerosol base material 311 to be isolated from the resonance pillar 400 helps prevent adhering and attaching of the aerosol base material 311 to the resonance pillar 400, and the working load of cleansing the resonance pillar 400 is reduced.
Certainly, to prevent adhering and attaching between the isolation section 312 and the resonance pillar 400, the isolation section 312 is necessarily made of a material that is not easy to react with the microwave, and, the isolation section 312 is necessarily arranged to show an effect of supporting. Thus, the isolation section 312 can be made of at least one of high permeability rigid paper sheet, white kraft paper, poly tetra fluoroethylene film, porous ceramic plate, synthetic resin, chemical fiber product, polylactic acid film, aluminum foil sheet, and nonwoven fabric.
Referring jointly to FIGS. 1 and 2, in a feasible embodiment, the insertion section 360 extends completely through the aerosol base material section 310.
In the embodiment, the insertion section 360 is set to completely penetrate through the aerosol base material section 310, and since the resonance pillar 400 needs to be inserted into the aerosol base material section 310, directly forming a penetration section in the aerosol base material section 310 could enhance easiness of machining of the insertion section 360. Further, since the resonance pillar 400 may penetrate through the aerosol base material section 310, adjusting a size of the resonance pillar 400 located inside the insertion section 360 can be easily achieved. The size of the resonance pillar 400 that is inserted into the insertion section 360 can be varied according to the thickness of the aerosol base material section 310, so as to allow the aerosol base material 311 in the aerosol base material section 310 to be uniformly heated to improve the effect of heating to the aerosol base material 311 and also to enhance the utilization efficiency of the aerosol base material 311.
In a feasible embodiment, the aerosol base material section 310 further comprises a constraining member 350. The constraining member 350 is arranged in the insertion section 360 to abut the end of the resonance pillar 400.
In the embodiment, the receptacle section is provided internally with the constraining member 350, and the constraining member 350 functions to constrain and position the resonance pillar 400. Specifically, the constraining member 350 constrains a maximum size of the resonance pillar 400 that is insertable into the insertion section 360. Although insertion of the resonance pillar 400 into the insertion section 360 could help improve the effect of heating to the aerosol base material 311, yet the effect of heating is not bettered with the greater length of insertion, and instead, it is necessary to have the microwave transmitting through the end of the resonance pillar 400 uniformly acting on the aerosol base material 311 in each portion of the interior of the aerosol base material section 310. In case that the resonance pillar 400 is extended to penetrate through the insertion section 360, there will be a situation that a great portion of the microwave transmitting through the end of the resonance pillar 400 does not act on the aerosol base material 311, resulting in wastage of microwave. If the end of the resonance pillar 400 perforates through the insertion section 360, then there will be a situation that one side of the aerosol base material section 310 that faces the resonance chamber 110 is spaced by a relatively large distance from the end of the resonance pillar 400, and the heating effect that the end of the resonance pillar 400 applied toward the side of the aerosol base material section 310 that faces the resonance chamber 110 will be lowered. To ensure that the resonance pillar 400 can uniformly heat each portion of the aerosol base material 311, the constraining member 350 constrains the maximum length that the resonance pillar 400 is allowed to insert into the insertion section 360, so as to guarantee the effect of heating to the aerosol base material 311 and enhance the utilization efficiency of the aerosol base material 311.
In a feasible embodiment, the constraining member 350 comprises at least two parts, and the at least two parts of the constraining member 350 are arranged at intervals in a circumferential direction of the insertion section 360; or alternatively, the constraining member 350 is of an annular structure.

The at least two parts of the constraining member 350 can constrain and position the end of the resonance pillar 400. Since the at least two parts of the constraining member 350 are arranged at intervals, the end of the resonance pillar 400 can be uniformly acted upon by resisting forces, so as to prevent situations of angular deviation of the resonance pillar 400 with respect to the aerosol generation base 300, reducing damage rate of the aerosol generation base 300 and the resonance pillar 400, and thus enhancing users' experience of using the aerosol generation device.
Certainly, the constraining member 350 can possibly be made in an annular structure.
