- As shown in
FIG. 8 , a main part 26a of the induction coil 26 is constructed as a tubular induction coil spirally wound around the central axis S2. The main part 26a is sleeved on or surrounds a periphery of the base 25, i.e., is arranged on a circumference of the receiving cavity C or surrounding the receiving cavity C. The main part 26a may have an elliptical, circular, square, rectangular, triangular, or other polygonal-shaped cross sections. For example, for a main part 26a having a circular cross section, the central axis S2 is a line connecting a center of the circular cross section at the top of the main part 26a and a center of the circular cross section at the bottom of the main part 26a. For other shapes, the central axis S2 is defined similarly. An electric connection portion 26b and an electric connection portion 26c of the induction coil 26 are configured to be electrically connected to the battery 23. - The main part 26a is formed by winding a long wire material, for example, by winding 500 to 2000 wires, or 500 to 1900 wires, or 700 to 1900 wires, or 900 to 1900 wires, or 1000 to 1900 wires, or 1200 to 1900 wires, or 1400 to 1900 wires, or 1600 to 1900 wires. A cross section of the wire material may be rectangular, circular, or elliptical.
- The number of turns or windings of the main part 26a is in a range of 4 to 20, preferably, 6 to 20, further preferably, 6 to 15, further preferably, 6 to 12, and further preferably, 6 to 10. A spacing between adjacent turns or windings is approximately in a range of 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm. In a specific embodiment, the spacing between adjacent turns or windings is 0.2 mm or 0.4 mm.
- Based on factors such as the design of the susceptor 141 or the overall design of the electronic atomization device 100, the axial span d1 of the susceptor 141 along the central axis S1 is usually less than or equal to one third (approximately between one fourth and one third) of the axial span of the second connection portion 162. To ensure that the susceptor 141 can be completely arranged in the induction coil 26 when the second connection portion 162 of the base 16 is received in the receiving cavity C, an axial span d11 of the induction coil 26 along the central axis S2 is greater than the axial span d1 of the susceptor 141 along the central axis S1, and the axial span d11 of the induction coil 26 along the central axis S2 is greater than or equal to two thirds of an axial span d12 of the receiving cavity C along the central axis S2, and a maximum of the axial span d11 may be equal to d12. In this way, the susceptor 141 can be completely arranged in the induction coil 26, and coupling between the alternating magnetic field generated by the induction coil 26 and the susceptor 141 is significantly increased.
FIG. 9 shows a case in which the susceptor 141 is completely arranged in the induction coil 26. The susceptor 141 being completely arranged in the induction coil 26 means that an upper end and a lower end of the susceptor 141 and an upper end and a lower end of the induction coil 26 are correspondingly spaced apart from each other. - In an example, the axial span d11 of the induction coil 26 along the central axis S2 may be greater than or equal to two times the axial span d1 of the susceptor 141 along the central axis S1. Preferably, d11 is in a range of two times to three times the axial span d1 of the susceptor 141 along the central axis S1.
- In an example, the axial span d11 of the induction coil 26 along the central axis S2 is in a range of 10 mm to 15 mm, preferably, 10 mm to 14 mm, further preferably, 10 mm to 13 mm, and further preferably, 11 mm to 13 mm.
- In a further embodiment, an offset distance between the central axis S1 of the susceptor 141 and the central axis S2 of the induction coil 26 is in a range of 0 mm to 3 mm (including endpoint values). An offset distance between the midpoint K1 of the axial span of the susceptor 141 along the center axis S1 and the midpoint K2 of the axial span of the induction coil 26 along the center axis S2 is in a range of 0 mm to 3 mm (including endpoint values). When the offset distance between the central axis S1 of the susceptor 141 and the central axis S2 of the induction coil 26 is 0 mm, it means that the central axis S1 coincides with the central axis S2. When the distance between the midpoint K1 of the axial span of the susceptor 141 along the central axis S1 and the midpoint K2 of the axial span of the induction coil 26 along the central axis S2 is 0 mm, it means that a center of the susceptor 141 coincides with a center of the induction coil 26, or an axial center of the susceptor 141 coincides with an axial center of the induction coil 26.
FIG. 10 andFIG. 11 show a case in which the center of the susceptor 141 coincides with the center of the induction coil 26, and the axial center of the susceptor 141 coincides with the axial center of the induction coil 26. - This is advantageous. The alternating magnetic field generated by the induction coil 26 is the strongest at the center of the induction coil 26, and is weak at two ends of the induction coil 26. Therefore, when the central axis S1 coincides with the central axis S2, and the center of the susceptor 141 coincides with the center of the induction coil 26, it means that the coupling between the alternating magnetic field generated by the induction coil 26 and the susceptor 141 is optimal, and conversion efficiency of an induction heating assembly formed by the induction coil 26 and the susceptor 141 is optimal.
- A test was carried out by adjusting the distance between the central axis S1 and the central axis S2 (corresponding to D2 in the following table) and the distance between the midpoint K1 of the axial span of the susceptor 141 along the central axis S1 and the midpoint K2 of the axial span of the induction coil 26 along the central axis S2 (corresponding to D1 in the following table). The test result is as follows.
Sequence number D1 D2 Conversion efficiency 1 0 0 85.34% 2 1 mm 0 74.58% 3 2 mm 0 63.26% 4 3 mm 0 51.24% 5 0 1 mm 72.56% 6 0 2 mm 59.76% 7 0 3 mm 46.59% - The test result shows that when the central axis S1 coincides with the central axis S2, and the center of the susceptor 141 coincides with the center of the induction coil 26, the conversion efficiency of the induction heating assembly is optimal, which is approximately 85.34%; when the distance between the central axis S1 and the central axis S2 increases, or the distance between the midpoint K1 of the axial span of the susceptor 141 along the central axis S1 and the midpoint K2 of the axial span of the induction coil 26 along the central axis S2 increases, the conversion efficiency of the induction heating assembly decreases; and a change in the distance between the central axis S1 and the central axis S2 has a greater impact on the conversion efficiency of the induction heating assembly than a change in the distance between the midpoint K1 of the axial span of the susceptor 141 along the central axis S1 and the midpoint K2 of the axial span of the induction coil 26 along the central axis S2.
- Referring to
FIG. 4 ,FIG. 5 , andFIG. 7 , similarly, the distance between the midpoint K1 of the axial span of the susceptor 141 along the central axis S1 and the bottom surface of the second connection portion 162 is d2, a distance between the midpoint K2 of the axial span of the induction coil 26 along the central axis S2 and the bottom wall of the receiving cavity C is d13, and a difference between d2 and d13 is in a range of 0 mm to 3 mm. The distance between the central axis S1 and the outer surface of the second connection portion 162 is d3, a distance between the central axis S2 and an inner wall of the receiving cavity C is d14, and a difference between d3 and d14 is in a range of 0 mm to 3 mm. - In a further embodiment, a minimum radial distance d15 between the induction coil 26 and the susceptor 141 is in a range of 3 mm to 7 mm, preferably, 3 mm to 6 mm, further preferably, 4 mm to 6 mm. This ensures the coupling between the alternating magnetic field generated by the induction coil 26 and the susceptor 141.
- The shield member 27 surrounds or is sleeved over the induction coil 26. The shield member 27 is configured to shield a magnetic field radiated by the induction coil 26 approximately along the radial direction, to prevent the radiated magnetic field from affecting other components.
- The sensor 28 senses a change of airflow in the lower housing 21 through a sensing channel, i.e., detects vaping of the user, to generate a signal to control the atomizer 10 to start to operate.
