Description

    TECHNICAL FIELD
  • The present application relates to the field of atomization technology, and particularly to electromagnetic heating coils, heating assemblies, and electronic atomizing devices.
  • BACKGROUND
  • An aerosol is a colloidal dispersion system formed by dispersing and suspending small solid or liquid particles in a gas medium. The aerosol can be absorbed by the human body through the respiratory system, providing users with a new alternative absorption method. For example, an electronic atomizing device that can generate aerosols by heating herbal or ointment aerosol-generating substrates can be used in different fields to deliver inhalable aerosols to the users, replacing conventional product forms and absorption methods.
  • The electronic atomizing device heats an aerosol-generating substrate through a heating assembly to generate an aerosol for the user to inhale. As for the electronic atomizing device using an electromagnetic heating way, the heating assembly includes an electromagnetic heating coil and a heat-generating body. A magnetic field is generated by the electromagnetic heating coil conducting an electric current. The temperature of the heat-generating body located in the magnetic field generated by the electromagnetic heating coil is increased. The aerosol-generating substrate is in contact with the heat-generating body, and thus heated and atomized by the heat-generating body.
  • However, the conventional electronic atomizing device with the electromagnetic heating generates an aerosol at a low speed, which causes an undesirable user experience.
  • SUMMARY
  • In view of this, aiming to address the problem that the conventional electronic atomizing device generates an aerosol at a low speed, there is a need to provide an electromagnetic heating coil, a heating assembly, and an electronic atomizing device which have a relatively high aerosol-generating speed.
  • An electromagnetic heating coil includes a plurality of turns arranged in an axial direction. From one end to another end in the axial direction, the electromagnetic heating coil includes a first helical section and a second helical section sequentially connected to the first helical section.

  • As mentioned in the background section, the conventional electronic atomizing device with the electromagnetic heating generates an aerosol at a low speed, which causes an undesirable user experience.
  • The inventors have found through research that the fundamental cause of the above problem is that the pitch of the electromagnetic heating coil in the conventional electronic atomizing device does not change in the axial direction, so that the heat-generating body, which faces the electromagnetic heating coil, has a higher temperature in the middle in the axial direction. The aerosol-generating substrate is heated and atomized by the heat-generating body. As the higher temperature occurs in the middle of the heat-generating body, an upper portion of a core body of the aerosol-generating substrate will not be the first portion to be heated and atomized, causing a relatively low generation speed and a small volume of an aerosol at the first puff.
  • In view of the above problems, referring to FIG. 1, the present application provides an electronic atomizing device 100, which can be used for heating and atomizing an aerosol-generating substrate 300, which is a liquid, solid, or ointment of flowers, leaves, herbs, or synthetics.
  • Referring to FIG. 2, the electronic atomizing device 100 includes a heating assembly 200. The heating assembly 200 includes a heat-generating body 10 and an electromagnetic heating coil 20 sleeved outside the heat-generating body 10. The electromagnetic heating coil 20 helically extends about the axial direction. At least a portion of the heat-generating body 10 is opposite to the electromagnetic heating coil 20 in the radial direction. The electromagnetic heating coil 20 is adapted to conduct an electric current thereby generating a magnetic field. The heat-generating body 10 is disposed in the magnetic field generated by the electromagnetic heating coil 20, thereby generating heat. The heat-generating body 10 is configured to heat the aerosol-generating substrate 300. Specifically, the electromagnetic heating coil 20 has a central position in the axial direction. The heat-generating body 10 extends in the axial direction to both sides of the central position. That is, the heat-generating body 10 is opposite to the electromagnetic heating coil 20 on both sides of the central position.
  • Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the heat-generating body 10 is provided with an accommodating cavity 11. An opening 12 is defined at one end of the heat-generating body 10 in the axial direction, and the opening 12 is in communication with the accommodating cavity 11. An aerosol-generating substrate 300 includes a tube body 301 and a core body 302 located inside the tube body 301. The aerosol-generating substrate 300 can be accommodated in the accommodating cavity 11 through the opening 12. The electromagnetic heating coil 20 is adapted to conduct an electric current to generate a magnetic field, and the heat-generating body 10 is disposed in the magnetic field to generate heat. Since the core body 302 of the aerosol-generating substrate 300 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 11, at this time, the heat-generating body 10 transfers heat to the core body 302 of the aerosol-generating substrate 300, and the temperature of the core body 302 of the aerosol-generating substrate 300 rises and the aerosol-generating substrate 300 is atomized to form an aerosol.
  • In an embodiment, in the axial direction, both ends of the heat-generating body 10 protrude from the electromagnetic heating coil 20, so that entire of the electromagnetic heating coil 20 in the axial direction is opposite to the heat-generating body 10, reducing waste of energy. Of course, in some other embodiments, the length of the heat-generating body 10 in the axial direction can be smaller than the length of the electromagnetic heating coil 20 in the axial direction, and at least one end of the heat-generating body 10 in the axial direction is located inside the electromagnetic heating coil 20.
  • In the axial direction, the size of the core body 302 of the aerosol-generating substrate 300 is smaller than the size of the accommodating cavity 11, so as to ensure that the entire core body 302 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 11, and the entire core body 302 is in contact with the heat-generating body 10 and is thereby heated and atomized by heat-generating body 10.
  • Specifically, when the aerosol-generating substrate 300 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 11, the end surface of the core body 302 adjacent to the opening 12 is located in the electromagnetic heating coil 20. It should be understood that, in other embodiments, when the aerosol-generating substrate 300 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 11, the end surface of the core body 302 adjacent to the opening 12 can be in alignment with the end surface of the electromagnetic heating coil 20, which is not limited herein.
  • The heating assembly 200 further includes a mounting frame 30. The electromagnetic heating coil 20 is helically wound around the mounting frame 30, and the heat-generating body 10 is disposed inside the mounting frame 30. In this way, the assembly and fixing between the heat-generating body 10 and the electromagnetic heating coil 20 are facilitated.
  • Referring to FIG. 4, the mounting frame 30 includes a positioning groove 31 extending helically about the axial direction. The electromagnetic heating coil 20 is embedded in the positioning groove 31. Specifically, the positioning groove 31 is a shape-matching groove that matches the electromagnetic heating coil 20 in shape, so that the electromagnetic heating coil 20 can be firmly fixed on the mounting frame 30.
  • Referring to FIG. 3, the heating assembly 200 further includes a magnetic shield 40, and the magnetic shield 40 is arranged outside the electromagnetic heating coil 20. On the one hand, the magnetic shield 40 can fix the electromagnetic heating coil 20, and on the other hand, the magnetic shield 40 can prevent the electromagnetic heating coil 20 from radiating electromagnetic waves to the outside. Specifically, the magnetic shield 40 is adhered and fixed to the electromagnetic heating coil 20.
  • Referring to FIG. 5, the electromagnetic heating coil 20 includes a plurality of coil turns 21 arranged in the axial direction. Specifically, the electromagnetic heating coil 20 is at least one wire bundle helically wound around the axial direction. Each wire bundle includes at least two strands of conducting wires, i.e., each wire bundle incudes at least two conducting wires. Each wire bundle is formed by twisting the at least two conducting wires (two strands of conducting wires) together.
  • Referring to FIG. 6, in each turn 21, the at least one wire bundle has a first size H in the axial direction and a second size W in the radial direction. The first size H is greater than the second size W.
  • In the electromagnetic heating coil 20, the size of the at least one wire bundle in the radial direction is smaller than the size of the at least one wire bundle in the axial direction. Compared with prior art in which the electromagnetic heating coil composed of a wire bundle with a circular cross-section, so that the radial size and the axial size of the wire bundle are equal to each other, the electromagnetic heating coil 20 has the following advantages:
    1. 1. The size of the electromagnetic heating coil 20 in the radial direction is reduced, so that the size of the electronic atomizing device 100 in the radial direction (e.g., a horizontal direction) is reduced, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the electronic atomizing device 100.
    2. 2. On the condition that the diameter of the entire electromagnetic heating coil 20 is the same as that in the prior electromagnetic heating coil, the outer surface area of the electromagnetic heating coil 20 is relatively large, which is more conducive to the heat dissipation of the electromagnetic heating coil 20, thus reduces the temperature of the electromagnetic heating coil 20 and the loss of the electromagnetic heating coil 20, and improves the service life of the electromagnetic heating coil 20.
    3. 3. On the condition that the diameter of the entire electromagnetic heating coil 20 is the same as that the prior electromagnetic heating coil, the area of the orthographic projection of the electromagnetic heating coil 20 on the outer surface of the heat-generating body 10 is relatively large, which can increase the heating area and improve the uniformity of the magnetic field.
  • Meanwhile, in the present embodiment, the electromagnetic heating coil 20 is formed by at least one wire bundle helically wound about the axial direction, and each wire bundle includes at least two conducting wires. Compared with prior art in which the electromagnetic heating coil is formed by helically wound flat metal strips, the AC resistance of the electromagnetic heating coil 20 under a high-frequency alternating current can be reduced, and the energy loss of the electronic atomizing device 100 can be reduced.
  • In an embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the wire bundle is a rectangle. In the rectangle, the length of one pair of sides is greater than the length of the other pair of sides. When the cross-sectional shape of the wire bundle is a rectangle, the pair of longer sides is arranged along the axial direction, and the pair of shorter sides is arranged along the radial direction, which can ensure that the size of the wire bundle in the axial direction is larger than the size of the wire bundle in the radial direction, i.e., ensure that the first size H is larger than the second size W.
  • In another embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the wire bundle is an ellipse. The ellipse has a major axis and a minor axis. When the cross-sectional shape of the wire bundle is an ellipse, the major axis is arranged along the axial direction, and the minor axis is arranged along the radial direction, which can ensure that the size of the wire bundle in the axial direction is larger than the size of the wire bundle in the radial direction, i.e., ensure that the first size H is larger than the second size W.
  • It can be understood that, in some other embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the wire bundle is not limited to the above-described rectangle and ellipse, and can be set as needed.
  • In an embodiment, the electromagnetic heating coil 20 is a wire bundle helically wound about the axial direction. Each wire bundle includes 15 to 300 conducting wires, and a diameter of each conducting wire is 0.02 mm to 0.5 mm. In an embodiment, each wire bundle includes 100 conducting wires, and the diameter of each conducting wire is 0.1 mm. In preparation of the electromagnetic heating coil 20, 100 conducting wires with a diameter of 0.1 mm are twisted together to form the wire bundle, then the wire bundle is compressed into the required cross-sectional shape by using a special equipment, and finally the wire bundle is helically wound about the axial direction to form the electromagnetic heating coil 20.
  • In another embodiment, the electromagnetic heating coil 20 includes a plurality of wire bundles helically wound about the axial direction. Each wire bundle includes 15 to 300 conducting wires, and a diameter of each conducting wire is 0.02 mm to 0.5 mm. In an embodiment, the electromagnetic heating coil 20 is formed by three wire bundles helically wound about the axial direction, each wire bundle includes 100 conducting wires, and the diameter of each conducting wire is 0.1 mm. In preparation of the electromagnetic heating coil 20, 100 conducting wires with a diameter of 0.1 mm are twisted together to form each wire bundle, then three wire bundles are twisted together, and the three wire bundles as a whole are compressed into the required cross-sectional shape by using a special equipment, and finally the three wire bundles that are compressed into the specific shape are helically wound about the axial direction to form the electromagnetic heating coil 20.
  • Of course, in some other embodiments, the number of the wire bundles in the electromagnetic heating coil 20, the number of conducting wires in each wire bundle, and the diameter of each conducting wire are not specifically limited. For example, in some embodiments, the electromagnetic heating coil 20 is formed by helically winding two wire bundles about the axial direction, each wire bundle includes 150 conducting wires, and the diameter of each conducting wire is 0.05 mm.
  • Referring still to FIG. 6, from one end to the other end in the axial direction, the electromagnetic heating coil 20 includes a first helical section 22 and a second helical section 23 sequentially connected to the first helical section 22. The pitch between any two adjacent turns 21 of the first helical section 22 is smaller than the pitch between any two adjacent turns 21 of the second helical section 23.
  • Referring to FIG. 2, taking the directions shown in FIG. 2 as an example, the axial direction of the electromagnetic heating coil 20 is the up-down direction in FIG. 2, and the radial direction is the left-right direction in FIG. 2.
  • The opening 12 is disposed at the upper end of the heat-generating body 10, and the aerosol-generating substrate 300 is inserted into the accommodating cavity 11 from the top to the bottom. At this time, the core body 302 of the aerosol-generating substrate 300 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 11. The first helical section 22 is disposed on the upper end of the second helical section 23.
  • The pitch between any two adjacent turns 21 of the first helical section 22 is smaller than the pitch between any two adjacent turns 21 of the second helical section 23. Compared with the conventional electromagnetic heating coil having uniform pitch in the axial direction, when an electric current is conducted through the electromagnetic heating coil 20, the electromagnetic induction of the electromagnetic heating coil 20 changes, so that the temperature of the upper portion of the heat-generating body 10 opposite to the electromagnetic heating coil 20 is increased, and thus the temperature rising speed of the upper portion of the core body 302 accommodated in the accommodating cavity 11 is increased, thereby increasing the generation speed and volume of the aerosol generated by the electronic atomizing device 100 at the first puff, and improving the taste of the aerosol.
  • It should be noted that the pitch between the two adjacent turns 21 is the axial distance between the two adjacent turns 21.
  • Further, referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the pitch between every two adjacent turns 21 is constant in the first helical section 22, and the pitch between every two adjacent turns 21 is constant in the second helical section 23. In this way, the preparation of the electromagnetic heating coil 20 is facilitated. It should be understood that, in some other embodiments, the pitches between adjacent turns 21 in the first helical section 22 are unequal or partially unequal to each other, and the pitches between adjacent turns 21 in the second helical section 23 are unequal or partially unequal to each other.
  • In an embodiment, the number of turns 21 in the first helical section 22 is greater than or equal to the number of turns 21 in the second helical section 23, so as to further increase the temperature of the upper portion of the electric heat-generating body 10 in the axial direction. Of course, in some other embodiments, the number of turns 21 in the first helical section 22 can be smaller than the number of turns 21 in the second helical section 23.
  • The pitch between any two adjacent turns 21 of the first helical section 22 is in a range from 0 to 4 mm, and the pitch between any two adjacent turns 21 of the second helical section 23 is in a range from 0.5 mm to 8 mm. It should be noted that the pitch between two adjacent turns 21 of the first helical section 22 and the pitch between two adjacent turns 21 of the second helical section 23 are not specifically limited, and can be set as needed.
  • In an embodiment, referring to FIG. 7, the electromagnetic heating coil 20 further includes a third helical section 24. The second helical section 23 is connected between the first helix section 22 and the third helical section 24. The pitch between any two adjacent turns 21 of the third helical section 24 is smaller than the pitch between any two adjacent turns 21 of the second helical section 23.
  • In this way, the pitch between any two adjacent turns 21 of the first helical section 22 and the pitch between any two adjacent turns 21 of the third helical section 24 are smaller than the pitch between any two adjacent turns 21 of the second helical section 23. Compared with the conventional electromagnetic heating coil having a uniform pitch, when an electric current is conducted through the electromagnetic heating coil 20, the electromagnetic induction of the electromagnetic heating coil 20 changes, so that the temperature of the upper portion of the heat-generating body 10 opposite to the electromagnetic heating coil 20 is increased, and the temperature difference among the upper, middle, and lower portions of the heat-generating body 10 in the axial direction is decreased, so that the attenuation of aerosol volume is slowed, and the uniformity of aerosol volume during the suction process is improved.
  • The pitch between every two adjacent turns 21 is constant in the third helical section 24 to facilitate the preparation of the electromagnetic heating coil 20. It should be understood that, in some other embodiments, the pitches between adjacent turns 21 in the third helical section 24 are unequal or partially equal to each other.
  • Further, the pitch between any two adjacent turns 21 of the first helical section 22 is smaller than or equal to the pitch between any two adjacent turns 21 of the third helical section 24. Of course, in some other embodiments, the pitch between any two adjacent turns 21 of the first helical section 22 can be greater than the pitch between any two adjacent turns 21 of the third helical section 24, or the pitch between any two adjacent turns 21 of the first helical section 22 is greater than the pitch between any two adjacent turns 21 of the third helical section 24.
  • In an embodiment, the number of turns 21 in the first helical section 22 is greater than or equal to the number of turns 21 in the third helical section 24, so as to further increase the temperature of the upper portion of the electric heat-generating body 10 in the axial direction. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of turns 21 in the first helical section 22 can be smaller than the number of turns 21 in the third helical section 24.
  • The pitch between any two adjacent turns 21 of the third helical section 24 is in a range from 0 to 4 mm. It should be noted that the pitch between two adjacent turns 21 of the third helical section 24 is not specifically limited, and can be set as needed.
  • In order to understand the present application more clearly, an embodiment and a comparative example are given below for illustration.
  • Both the embodiment and the comparative example have the following parameters:
    The size of the electromagnetic heating coil 20 in the axial direction is 18 mm. The length of the core body 302 is 20 mm. The core body 302 is entirely accommodated in the accommodating cavity 11 of the heat-generating body 10. The upper end surface of the core body 302 is 3 mm higher than the upper end surface of the electromagnetic heating coil 20. The axial size of the wire bundle for each turn 21 is 1.6 mm.
  • Referring to FIG. 8, the three circles in each electronic atomizing device 100 shown in FIG. 8 from top to bottom represent the high temperature field, the medium temperature field, and the low temperature field theoretically formed by the heat-generating body 20.
  • In the comparative example, the electromagnetic heating coil 20 is a uniformly wound coil, that is, the pitches between adjacent turns 21 of the electromagnetic heating coil 20 are equal to each other.
  • It can be seen from FIG. 8 that in the comparative example, the center of the theoretical high-temperature field of the heat-generating body 10 is at the center position of the electromagnetic heating coil 20 in the axial direction, that is, 6 mm lower than the upper end surface of the core body 302.
  • In the embodiment, the electromagnetic heating coil 20 includes the first helical section 22 and the second helical section 23, the axial size of the first helical section 22 is 8 mm, and the axial size of the second helical section 23 is 10 mm. The first helical section 22 includes five turns 21, and the pitch between every two adjacent turns 21 of the first helical section 22 in the axial direction is 0. The second helical section 23 includes 3 turns 21, and the pitch between every two adjacent turns 21 of the second helical section 23 in the axial direction is about 2 mm.
  • As can be seen from FIG. 8, in the embodiment, the center of the theoretical high temperature field of the heat-generating body 10 is above the center position of the electromagnetic heating coil 20 in the axial direction, that is, 3 mm lower than the upper end surface of the core body 302.
  • Through the above comparison, it can be seen that the temperature of the upper portion of the heat-generating body 10 can be increased by using the electromagnetic heating coil 20 provided in the embodiment of the present application, thereby ensuring the electronic atomizing device 100 generating an aerosol quickly at the first puff and having a good user experience.
  • Another embodiment of the present application further provides the heating assembly 200 included in the above-mentioned electronic atomizing device 100.
  • Another embodiment of the present application further provides the electromagnetic heating coil 20 included in the above heating assembly 200. The electromagnetic heating coil 20 includes a plurality of turns 21 arranged in the axial direction, and, from one end to the other end in the axial direction, includes a first helical section 22 and a second helical section 23 sequentially connected one another. The pitch between any two adjacent turns 21 of the first helical section 22 is smaller than the pitch between any two adjacent turns 21 of the second helical section 23. In this way, compared to the conventional electromagnetic heating coil with a uniform pitch, when the magnetic field is induced by an electric current, the heat-generating body 10 in the magnetic field generates heat, and the temperature of the heat-generating body 10 opposite to the first helical section 22 is increased, so that end of the core body 302 of the aerosol-generating substrate 300 adjacent to the user suction end heats up faster to generate an aerosol quickly from the electronic atomizing device 100, thereby improving the user experience.
  • The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features are described in the embodiments. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, the combinations should be considered as being disclosed in the present disclosure.
