Is formed.

本実施形態において、発熱部110、第1の接続端121、および第2の接続端122はすべてフィラメント状であり、好ましくは同一材料のワイヤストックから形成されている。発熱部110は螺旋形状に曲げ加工されており、第1の接続端121および第2の接続端122は発熱部110の両端から延びるように形成されている。   In the present embodiment, the heat generating portion 110, the first connection end 121, and the second connection end 122 are all in the form of filaments, and preferably are formed from wire stock of the same material. The heat generating part 110 is bent into a spiral shape, and the first connection end 121 and the second connection end 122 are formed to extend from both ends of the heat generation part 110.

具体的には、本発明の好適な実施形態による発熱素子において、発熱部110、第1の接続端121、および第2の接続端122は合金材料から形成され円形の断面を有し、第1の接続端121および第2の接続端122は発熱部110の両端からそれぞれ軸方向に延在し、その延在距離は同じかまたは異なっており(異なる場合には二つの例がある:一つは第1の接続端121の延在距離が第2の接続端122の延在距離より長い場合、もう一つは第2の接続端122の延在距離が第1の接続端121の延在距離より長い場合である)、螺旋状発熱部110の両端にそれぞれ対応するよう形成されている。メッキ層123は第1および第2の接続端121、122を均一に覆うように径方向外側に向かって形成されており、発熱部110と第1の接続端121との界面の断面寸法は、発熱部110と第2の接続端122との界面の断面寸法と等しくなっている。   Specifically, in the heat generating element according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the heat generating portion 110, the first connection end 121, and the second connection end 122 are formed of an alloy material and have a circular cross section, The connecting end 121 and the second connecting end 122 extend in the axial direction from both ends of the heat generating part 110, and the extension distances thereof are the same or different (in the case of different, there are two examples: one When the extension distance of the first connection end 121 is longer than the extension distance of the second connection end 122, the other is the extension distance of the second connection end 122 is the extension of the first connection end 121. This is a case where it is longer than the distance), and is formed so as to correspond to both ends of the spiral heat generating portion 110, respectively.

Even if they are different, the contact resistance between the connecting portion 120 and the drive circuit does not vary.

本発明による発熱素子100の形状は限定されない。発熱素子100はフィラメント状、フレーク状または帯状でもよく、また断面形状は円形、楕円形、多角形(三角や矩形を含む)、あるいはどのような幾何形状でもよい。図6に示す例では、発熱素子100はすべてフレーク状の発熱部110、第1の接続端121、および第2の接続端122を備え、メッキ層123は第1および第2の接続端121、122を覆っている。   The shape of the heating element 100 according to the present invention is not limited. The heating element 100 may have a filament shape, a flake shape, or a belt shape, and a cross-sectional shape may be a circle, an ellipse, a polygon (including a triangle or a rectangle), or any geometric shape.

(There are two examples in different cases: one is when the extension distance of the first connection end 121 is longer than the extension distance of the second connection end 122, the other is the second In this case, the extension distance of the connection end 122 is longer than the extension distance of the first connection end 121). The plated layer 123 is formed on the outer peripheral surface so as to uniformly cover the first and second connection ends 121, 122, and the cross-sectional dimension of the interface between the heat generating part 110 and the first connection end 121 is defined as the heat generating part 110. And the cross-sectional dimension of the interface between the second connection end 122 and the second connection end 122.

Due to the presence of the plating layer 123 covering the connection part 120, the connection part 120 and the other part of the electronic cigarette can be welded relatively easily.

本発明はまた、下記のステップを備える電子タバコ用の発熱素子の形成方法を提供する。   The present invention also provides a method for forming a heating element for an electronic cigarette comprising the following steps.

発熱部110と接続部120とを一体に形成する。接続部120は、第1の接続端121と第2の接続端122とを含む。第1の接続端121と第2の接続端122は、発熱部110の両端に沿って延在する。   The heat generating part 110 and the connecting part 120 are integrally formed. The connection unit 120 includes a first connection end 121 and a second connection end 122. The first connection end 121 and the second connection end 122 extend along both ends of the heat generating part 110.

第1および第2の接続端121、122の外面にそれぞれ低抵抗のメッキ層123を形成する。   Low resistance plating layers 123 are formed on the outer surfaces of the first and second connection ends 121 and 122, respectively.

第1および第2の接続端121、122をそれぞれ駆動回路に接続する。接続方法は溶接、かしめ、あるいは端子または固定具を用いた接続でもよく、具体的な接続方法は当該分野で周知の方法でよいので詳細な説明は省略する。   The first and second connection ends 121 and 122 are connected to the drive circuit, respectively. The connection method may be welding, caulking, or connection using a terminal or a fixture, and a specific connection method may be a method well known in the art, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted.

電子タバコ用の発熱素子の具体的な加工方法を、本発明の好適な実施形態に従い、さらに詳しく以下のとおり説明する。   A specific method for processing a heating element for an electronic cigarette will be described in more detail as follows in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

S1.例えばニクロム、エコノメット、アルディローム、コンスタンタン合金などの高抵抗の合金材料を選択する。これらの多くは、フィラメント状またはフレーク状の汎用ワイヤストックであり、代表的には6J40やCr20Ni80などのコンスタンタン合金を利用できる。   S1. For example, a high-resistance alloy material such as Nichrome, Economet, Aldirom, or Constantan alloy is selected. Most of these are general-purpose wire stocks in the form of filaments or flakes, and typically constantan alloys such as 6J40 and Cr20Ni80 can be used.

S2.選択した合金材料を切断する。図5に示すとおり、曲げ加工前の発熱素子100と同じ長さになるように合金材料を個片に切断する。   S2. Cut the selected alloy material. As shown in FIG. 5, the alloy material is cut into individual pieces so as to have the same length as the heating element 100 before bending.

S3.切断された合金材料の個片を、発熱部110、第1の接続端121、および第2の接続端122とに分割し、第1の接続端121および第2の接続端122の外面にメッキ層123を電気メッキにて形成する。   S3. A piece of the cut alloy material is divided into a heat generating portion 110, a first connection end 121, and a second connection end 122, and the outer surfaces of the first connection end 121 and the second connection end 122 are plated. Layer 123 is formed by electroplating.

S4.電気メッキされた合金材料に曲げ加工を行って発熱部110を螺旋形状に形成し、第1の接続端121および第2の接続端122を螺旋状発熱部110の両端部にそれぞれ対応させ、第1の接続端121と螺旋状発熱部110の対応する端部との距離を、第2の接続端122と螺旋状発熱部110の対応する端部との距離と等しくする。   S4. Bending is performed on the electroplated alloy material to form the heat generating portion 110 in a spiral shape, and the first connection end 121 and the second connection end 122 are made to correspond to the both ends of the spiral heat generating portion 110, respectively. The distance between the first connection end 121 and the corresponding end of the spiral heat generating portion 110 is made equal to the distance between the second connection end 122 and the corresponding end of the spiral heat generating portion 110.

S5.発熱素子100を電子タバコの駆動回路に溶接または他の方法で接合する。   S5. The heating element 100 is welded or otherwise joined to the driving circuit of the electronic cigarette.

本発明による発熱素子の加工方法を実施することにより、次のような効果を得ることができる。発熱素子100は、大量生産によっても安定した抵抗値とばらつきのない品質が得られる。メッキ層123、第1の接続端121、および第2の接続端122は、溶接やかしめなどの複雑な技術を用いることなく、一体に設計されている。メッキ層123は低抵抗の金属または合金の電気メッキにより形成されているので、接続部120はごく低い抵抗値を有する。接続部120に形成されたメッキ層123の存在により、接続部120を電子タバコの他の部分(例えば駆動回路)と比較的容易に溶接することができる。電気メッキは充分に進化した技術に属するので、本発明による発熱素子の加工方法は、電子タバコとそれに関連する製品の生産効率を改善し、電子タバコの生産コストを低減することができる。   The following effects can be obtained by carrying out the method for processing a heating element according to the present invention. The heating element 100 can obtain a stable resistance value and quality without variations even in mass production. The plated layer 123, the first connection end 121, and the second connection end 122 are integrally designed without using a complicated technique such as welding or caulking. Since the plating layer 123 is formed by electroplating of a low resistance metal or alloy, the connecting portion 120 has a very low resistance value. Due to the presence of the plating layer 123 formed on the connection part 120, the connection part 120 can be welded to other parts (for example, a drive circuit) of the electronic cigarette relatively easily. Since electroplating belongs to a sufficiently advanced technology, the heating element processing method according to the present invention can improve the production efficiency of electronic cigarettes and related products and reduce the production cost of electronic cigarettes.
