Description

Oven assembly for personal electronic carburettor

The present invention is directed to a personal electronic vaporizer that can be used to generate vapor from a plurality of materials, such as using a heating chamber or oven assembly comprising an unexposed heating element.

Smoking devices such as cigarette holders and pipes are well known in the art for providing flavored flavors to users from smoking materials for smoking pleasure. However, such devices do not provide a means to control the heating and combustion of tobacco and other products. As a result, the device tends to produce by-products that can impart a bitter and / or burning taste to the user's mouth, including combustion byproducts.

In an effort to overcome this problem, numerous attempts have been made to provide devices for delivery of active ingredients to consumers through vaporization rather than combustion. For example, many personal electronic vaporizers on the market today heat the material without burning it to release steam containing the active ingredient to be delivered to the user. In some cases, the material is placed in contact with a metal heating coil inside a chamber that can be made of metal to produce steam. The airflow is passed through the heated material and the exposed coil, often through a path made of metal, to deliver the desired steam to the user. However, contact with the metal may impart undesirable flavor or vaporized metal particles to the vapor.

In addition to eliminating the problem of steam taste, most personal electronic carburettors do not provide a means to customize the vaping experience. For example, many personal electronic carburettors use the same heating profile regardless of the type of material to be vaporized, for example, solids, liquids or waxes. As a result, the user may not have the option to heat the material to an ideal temperature that maximizes steam generation without burning the material. Moreover, many personal electronic carburettors do not provide integrated means of filtering the steam to the user and / or controlling the flow of steam to the user in a desired amount.

For these and other reasons, there is a need for a personal electronic vaporizer capable of delivering tasty vapors to a user while providing a customized bake experience to the user. Although a variety of personal electronic carburettors have been created and used, it is believed that none of the pre-inventor has made or used the invention described herein.

I. Personal electronic carburettor

Referring to Figures 1, 2 and 3, an embodiment of a personal electronic carburetor is shown and described as a PEV (1). The PEV 1 generally extends from the upper end 3 to the lower end 5 and includes a mouthpiece assembly 7, an upper shell assembly 9, a container assembly 11, one or more oven assemblies 13, (15), and a battery compartment assembly (17). Each component or element of the component may be formed or coated using a medical grade material such as medical grade glass, medical grade stainless steel, or anodized aluminum.

The mouthpiece assembly 7 forms a mouthpiece channel 29 surrounded by a material such as glass, ceramic, polycarbonate or silicone. The mouthpiece assembly 7 includes a shaft 34 extending through the channel 34 and outwardly from the channel 29. The shaft 34 is displaced into the shoulder 47 and the boss 49 and the channel 29 extends through. 3, the channel 29 is a channel 29 extending from the mouth region 33 to the boss 49 and facilitating fluid communication between the mouth region 33 and the boss 49, And a nonlinear channel with 180 degree rotation. The fluid communication includes a fluid such as air. As such, the rotation and loopback of the channel 29 creates a bubbler region 30, so that the user can add water or other material into the channel 29 to fill the bubbler region 30, (1) through the material of the bubbler region (30). For example, the user may fill the bubbler area 30 with a certain amount of tap water 32. [ When the user pulls fluid through the PEV 1, the fluid passes through the tap water 32 in the bubbler region 30 and heavier particles and water-soluble molecules are trapped in the tap water 32, From entering the airway. The user can flip the mouthpiece assembly 7 upside down to empty the tap water 32 from the bubbler area 30. [

The upper shell assembly 9 extends from the upper end 39 to the lower end 41 and includes a display screen 19 and buttons 21. The display screen 19 can be configured to be positioned behind a mirror or otherwise one transparent outer surface 23 of the top shell assembly 9 such that the display screen 19 is illuminated through the outer surface 23 when energized and illuminated And is not projected through the outer surface 23 when the display is not illuminated. The display screen 19 may be a liquid crystal display, a light emitting diode (LED) display, or any other mechanism for displaying visual information. The upper shell assembly 9 further includes an annular lip 43 and a corresponding annular shoulder 44 proximal to the second end 41 for use in securing the upper shell assembly 9 to the battery compartment assembly 17. [ do.

The upper shell assembly 9 further includes a ring 31 proximal to the upper portion 39. The ring 31 defines a first suction opening 35 and a second suction opening 37 and is rotatable in the directions of arrow A and arrow B. The first suction opening 35 can be rotated about a corresponding lower opening to adjust the size of the entire fluid path guided to the PEV 1. Similarly, the second air intake opening 37 may be rotated with respect to the corresponding lower opening to fine-tune the size of the entire fluid path guided to the PEV 1. By rotating the ring 31, the user can adjust the size of the opening for passing the fluid to the PEV 1 and ultimately the flow rate of the fluid to the PEV 1. In another embodiment of the PEV 1, the ring 31 may be embodied by a ring 31A disposed proximal to the second end 41 of the upper shell assembly 9. The ring 31A operates similarly to the ring 31 having the first suction opening 35A and the at least one second suction opening 37A. The ring 31A can be manually rotated by the user to open the suction opening according to the user's preference.

The container assembly 11 includes a hollow body 51 and a corresponding lid 53 surrounding the hollow body 51. The container assembly 11 is shaped to define a recess 55 generally corresponding to another portion of the PEV 1 such that the recesses 55 align with and are densely arranged on that portion.

The battery compartment assembly 17 includes a battery 26 disposed proximal to the outer wall 25. The outer wall 25 defines a series of dimples 27 or holes for aesthetic purposes. Alternatively, the outer wall 25 may form a ventilation hole (not shown) configured to emit excess heat generated through use of the battery 26, or a ventilation hole may be used to allow the sound to exit the PEV 1 have. The battery compartment assembly 17 further includes an annular shoulder 59 and an annular shoulder 44 of the upper shell assembly 9 that are sized and oriented to match the annular lip 57 and annular lip 43 , The upper shell assembly 9 is selectively engaged with the battery compartment assembly 17 to engage. The battery compartment assembly 17 further includes a pair of electrodes 61 configured to electronically couple with the positive and negative electrodes of the battery 26. A pair of electrodes 61 are shown in Fig. 2A and Fig. 3 as electrode 61A and electrode 61B. The battery compartment assembly 17 also includes a latch 63 that is sized and aligned and slidingly engaged to mate with a corresponding latch (not shown) proximal to the second end 41 of the upper shell assembly 9 To selectively secure the upper shell assembly 9 to the battery compartment assembly 17 and ensure proper orientation.

The battery 26 is preferably a rechargeable battery such as those currently used in electronic carburettors (e.g., nickel cadmium batteries, lithium ion batteries, lithium ion polymer batteries, etc.). The battery may be charged through an electrical outlet, a car charger, a charging base and / or a USB on a suitable power source (e.g., a computer device).

3 to 7, the oven assembly 13 is sized to be removably received within the heater receptacle 95. As shown in Fig. As such, the oven assembly 13 includes a generally cylindrical profile extending from the top portion 67 to the bottom portion 69. The pair of electrodes 71 extend outward from the lower end portion 69, one electrode has the anode shown by the electrode 71A, and the other electrode has the cathode shown by the electrode 71B. Electrode 71 transfers power to heating plate 73, which is configured to heat up and rise in temperature in accordance with the amount of power supplied from oven mounting assembly 15 in oven mounting assembly 15. The heating plate 73 can be any type of heater that can be used to heat the power from an integrated heating coil (not shown), a thermal film (not shown), a transparent film conductor (not shown) . ≪ / RTI >

The preheating zone 74 (FIG. 3) may be located under and around the heating plate 73. The preheating zone is configured to be disposed in the path of air moving through the PEV 1 to the oven assembly 13, such as being preheated before the air moves to the oven assembly 13. The preheating zone 74 increases the rate at which the PEV 1 can heat the air surrounding the media in the oven assembly 13 which is used by the user < RTI ID = 0.0 > Thereby shortening the waiting time. The preheating zone 74 can be configured to create a convection-like environment in which air is circulated past the heating element to continuously heat and heat the air before it is drawn into the oven assembly 13. [

5, the oven assembly 13 is configured to allow the ceramic tray 75 to absorb heat generated by the heating plate 73 and to heat the heated plate 73 73 of the porous ceramic tray 75 in contact therewith. The oven assembly 13 further includes a plenum ring 77 that is proximal to the ceramic tray 75 and defines a through opening 78. The oven assembly 13 further comprises an oven base 79 having a plurality of air holes 81 for allowing air to pass in the direction of arrow D. The oven base (79) is covered by a cylindrical shroud (83). 5, the plenum ring 77 is configured to pass through the air hole 81 of the oven base 79 in the direction of arrow D after the fluid has passed through the through opening 78 in the direction of arrow C do. The oven assembly 13 moves air relatively slowly through the frit to allow more time for the air to retain heat and to retain heat so that as the air travels through the path of the PEV 1, A porous glass filter or frit element (not shown) oriented to reduce the velocity. The frit in turn acts to increase the residence time for heat transfer along the path.

In some modified oven assemblies 13, frit or glass filters may be disposed within ceramic tray 75, openings 78 and / or air holes 81, or between various elements within oven assembly 13, . For example, a frit layer may be disposed between the plenum ring 77 and the oven base 79 to slow air through the oven assembly 13 and allow the heating plate 73 to be exposed longer.

The oven assembly 13 may comprise zero, one or two identification prongs. In the illustrated embodiment, the oven assembly 13 includes a first identification prong 85 and a second identification prong 87. The identification prongs represent the intended heating profile of the particular oven assembly (13). As will be described in greater detail below, the identified heating profile is used by the other components of the PEV 1 to heat the oven assembly in accordance with certain criteria. In one embodiment of the invention, the heating profile comprises a target temperature, wherein the PEV 1 heats the oven assembly 13 to a target temperature specified by the heating profile. Since both the first identification prongs 85 and the second identification prongs 87 may or may not be present in the particular oven assembly 13, the PEV 1 may have a particular profile of the particular oven assembly 13 The presence or absence of these two components, or any combination thereof. For example, the PEV (1) may be configured such that the presence of the first identification prong (85) in combination with the member of the second identification prong (87) indicates to the PEV (1) that the first heating profile is associated with the lower oven assembly . If the first heating profile comprises a target temperature or target temperature range of 345 to 355 degrees Fahrenheit, the PEV 1 will act to heat the media in the oven assembly 13 to 345 to 355 degrees. The temperature of the medium is determined through one or more sensors configured to sense or induce the temperature of the medium.

As will be described later, the PEV 1 may include a temperature sensor. For example, there is an infrared sensor, a thermocouple style sensor, and / or a thermistor style sensor for accurate temperature sensing of temperature. One important drawback of the prior art relates to temperature control. Prior art PEVs are based on the actuation or termination of heating at a measured temperature, after simply measuring the mechanical element of the PEV, such as a heating coil or a particular plate or surface. However, the temperature of a particular PEV element and the temperature of the underlying medium can vary greatly. Thus, the PEV may operate or terminate heating in an inefficient manner with respect to the requirements of the medium for proper and efficient steam generation. The PEV 1 includes multiple sensors and logic configured to determine or induce the temperature of the medium itself and to activate or deactivate heating based on whether the temperature of the medium is within the target range. This results in greater experience for the user through heating the medium and increasing the vaporization efficiency.

Other smokable materials or media may be most suitable for different heating profiles. For example, the solid material may best suit the first heating profile, while the liquid material may best suit the second heating profile. In addition, the wax material may require a third heating profile. Thus, the user can select a particular oven assembly 13 based on the intended material and the heating profile associated with the selected oven assembly 13. [ For example, if the user wishes to vaporize the solid cigarette at the PEV 1, the user selects the oven assembly 13 configured for use with the solid material and loads the selected oven assembly 13 into the PEV 1 will be. Based on the arrangement of the first identification prong 85 and the second identification prong 87, the PEV 1 then recognizes that the particular heating profile is associated with the selected oven assembly 13, The oven assembly 13 will heat the oven assembly 13 in a similar manner.

The correlation of the presence or absence of discrimination prongs is a non-limiting example of a mechanism for signaling different heating profiles in the present invention. The oven assembly 13 may include other mechanisms for signaling the heating profile. For example, in a particular configuration of the PEV (1), a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag or other similar identification method may be used, or may be incorporated into signal delivery of different heating profiles.

5, 8 and 9, the oven mounting assembly 15 includes three major components: a cap 89, a circuit board assembly 91, and a backing plate 93. The cap 89 defines multiple recesses and openings for accessing elements on the circuit board assembly 89. The cap 89 includes a heater receptacle 95 that defines a channel 97 therein to receive the selected oven assembly 13. [ The cap 89 includes a pair of electrode through holes 99 configured to allow the corresponding electrode 71 of the oven assembly 13 to pass through the cap 89 and into the elements of the circuit board assembly 91 (Fig. 11). Similarly, the cap 89 may include a pair of identifications configured to allow the first identification prong 85 and the second identification prong 87 to pass through the cap 89 and into the elements of the circuit board assembly 91 Through hole (101). As such, the cap 89 is configured to receive the selected oven assembly 13 in the heater receptacle 95 and to preferentially align the electrode 61 and the identification prongs 85 and 87 with the lower elements of the circuit board assembly 91 .

9, the circuit board assembly 91 includes various electronic components, logic devices, and support structures that allow the battery 26 to interface with the oven assembly 13 as needed. As such, the circuit board assembly 91 includes a microprocessor 103 coupled with a circuit board 105. The pair of receiving terminals 107 is configured to receive the electrode 61 extending from the battery 26 and to receive the battery 26 from the battery 26 through a bracket < RTI ID = 0.0 > (106) proximate the circuit board (105). Similarly, a pair of receiving terminals 109 may include a circuit board 105 configured to receive an electrode 71 extending from the oven assembly 13 and to electrically connect the oven assembly 13 to the circuit board assembly 91, . The circuit board assembly 91 further includes an identification terminal 111 and an identification terminal 113. The identification terminal 111 is configured to receive the first identification prong 85, 2 identification prong (87). As such, the circuit board assembly 91 polls the identification terminal 111 and the identification terminal 113 so that the selected particular oven assembly 13 can be removed from either the first identification prong 85 and the second identification prong 87 Or both, or whether the selected oven assembly 13 does not include either prong. As described above, the circuit board assembly 91 has a specific heating profile for the selected oven assembly 13 based on the presence or absence of one or both of the first identification prong 85 and the second identification prong 87 .

The circuit board assembly 91 further includes a temperature sensor 115 extending from the circuit board 105 and oriented so as to be proximal to the oven assembly 13 when the oven assembly 13 is disposed in the heater receptacle 95 . The circuit board assembly 91 includes a multi-infrared sensor (not shown), a thermocouple style sensor (not shown) and a thermistor (not shown) for precisely sensing or guiding the temperature of the medium for use in controlling thermal directivity in a smoking substance or medium. The temperature sensor 115 is an example of an embodiment of the present invention, since it may further include a style sensor. The circuit board assembly 91 is connected to the display screen 19 and the button 22 so that the microprocessor 103 can operate the display screen 19 in accordance with the logic device stored therein and in accordance with the operation of the button 21 by the user. Further includes a jumper socket 116 configured to receive corresponding electrical wiring (not shown) from the display screen 21 and to electrically and logically couple the display screen 19, the button 21 and the microprocessor 103. Although the circuit board assembly 91 is shown as being characteristic of the oven mounting assembly 15 in other embodiments of the present invention, the circuit board assembly 91 or similar elements may be attached to other assemblies or components of the PEV 1 . For example, in the present embodiment, the circuit board assembly may be disposed in the upper shell assembly 9. Alternatively, the PEV 1 may include a master controller and a slave controller, which are disposed at arbitrary positions of the PEV 1 and communicate through various wiring and logic circuits.

The backing plate 93 is sized and configured to support the circuit board assembly 91 and to securely hold the circuit board assembly 91 between the cap 89 and the backing plate 93. As such, the backing plate 93 includes a plurality of fastener receptacles for receiving a corresponding series of fasteners 119, whereby the fasteners 119 secure the circuit board assembly 91 to the backing plate 93 Fixed and maintained. The backing plate 93 includes a pair of aligned and sized electrodes 61 that allow the electrodes 61 from the battery 26 to pass through the backing plate 93 and into the receiving terminals 107 of the circuit board assembly 91 Thereby forming the opening 121.

As shown in FIG. 12, the PEV 1 may include a wireless module 121 that is electronically coupled to the microprocessor 103 via a corresponding wire (not shown). The wireless module 121 is configured to wirelessly and electronically couple to a corresponding wireless communication module 122 of the mobile communication device 123. The mobile communication device 123 includes a logic device and circuitry for coupling the wireless communication module 122 with an interface application 125 having a graphical user interface (not shown). Interface application 125 may be configured to send these user commands from mobile communication device 122 to PEV 1 in response to input from a user. In turn, the PEV 1 is configured to accept these user instructions via the wireless module 121 and provide these instructions to the microprocessor 103. [ The microprocessor 103 interprets these user commands and operates the various components and elements of the PEV 1 accordingly. The microprocessor 103 is also configured to collect various metrics, data points and related information and provide this data to the mobile communication device 123 for display to the user via the interface application 125. [

The PEV 1 may further include a speaker 127 electrically connected to the microprocessor 103 through a corresponding wiring (not shown). The speaker 127 is configured to receive information and data from the microprocessor 103 and transmit sound waves in accordance with the received information. For example, the microprocessor 103 can provide music data to the speaker 127, so that the speaker 127 can transmit the music data as sound waves to the user via the PEV (1). The speaker 127 may ultimately be controlled by the user through any combination of the display screen 19, the button 21 and the interface application 125 of the mobile communication device 123. 12, the speaker 127 may be disposed at the lower end portion of the PEV 1. In the PEV 1 of the other modified example, the speaker 127 may be disposed at the lower end portion of the PEV 1.

The PEV 1 may further include a path 129 that is entirely surrounded by the material 131 and extends from the inside of the oven assembly 13 through the mouthpiece channel 29 of the mouthpiece assembly 7. As shown in Figure 13, the oven assembly 13, tray 75. Ring 77, oven base 79, and cylindrical shroud 83 are both formed of material 131. Also, the shaft 34 defining the bubbler area 30 and the mouth area 33 is also formed of the material 131. As such, since the media is heated in the oven assembly 13, the media itself and the vapors emitted therefrom are completely surrounded by the material 131 as the vapor moves along the path 129. In one embodiment of the present invention, the material is inert, chemically stable, and thermodynamically stable. This ensures that the steam is not contaminated by the material as it travels along path 129. In addition, by heating the oven assembly 13 through the heating plate 73 located outside the path 129, the steam may be heated by a heating coil or other undesirable elements that may alter the vapor or medium in an unwanted manner, Is not contaminated by the electrical components of the PEV (1). In an embodiment of the present invention, material 131 is a relatively pure glass material, a ceramic glass material, a relatively pure ceramic material, or a polycarbonate material. The term "relatively pure" means that the material may contain some common minor impurities or coloring agents.

In operation, the user can hold the PEV 1 and rotate the upper shell assembly 9 and the battery compartment assembly 17 in the axial direction to disengage the latch 63 and release the two components. This release exposes the container assembly 11, which can be detached around the heater receptacle 95 of the oven mounting assembly 15, to the user. The user then opens the lid 53 of the compartment assembly 17 to expose the medium stored in the hollow body 51. Depending on the medium, the user then selects the appropriate oven assembly 13. For example, if the medium is solid, the user can select a corresponding oven assembly 13 that is configured to properly and efficiently heat the solid medium using a particular heating profile associated with the selected oven assembly 13. [ Alternatively, if the medium is liquid or wax, another more suitable oven assembly 13 may be selected.

After the oven assembly 13 is selected, the user inserts the media into the cylindrical shroud such that the medium rests on the oven base 79. 4, the user then inserts the oven assembly 13, which is selected in the direction of arrow D, into the channel 97 of the heater receptacle 95 of the oven mounting assembly 15. As shown in Fig. The oven assembly 13 is inserted into the heater receptacle 95 in a specific orientation so that the respective electrodes 71A and 71B pass through the electrode through hole 99 of the cap 89 and the corresponding As shown in Fig. Similarly, if the selected oven assembly 13 includes the first identification prongs 85, the first identification prongs 85 will pass through one of the identification prong through-holes 101, As shown in Fig. When the selected oven assembly 13 includes a second identification prong 87 the second identification prong 87 passes through one of the identification prong through holes 101 and is received by the corresponding receptacle of the circuit board assembly 91 And is accommodated in the terminal 113.

Once the selected oven assembly 13 is loaded with media and inserted into the oven mounting assembly 15, the user then aligns the upper shell assembly 9 with the battery compartment assembly 17 and engages the latch 63, Axially deflect the two elements to secure the assembly 9 to the battery compartment assembly 17. [ If desired, the user can then remove the mouthpiece assembly 7 and fill the bubbler region 30 with a liquid such as water and filter the vapor of the media.

Once the mouthpiece assembly 7 is engaged with the upper shell assembly 9 and the selected oven assembly 13 is placed in the oven mounting assembly 15 the PEV 1 is heated to heat the media in the oven assembly 13 . The user can heat through the manual operation of the button 21 or the operation of the interface application 125 of the mobile communication device 123 and can provide feedback to the user through the display screen 19. [

The microprocessor 103 determines a particular configuration through the resistance or combination of the presence or absence of the first identification prong 85 and the second identification prong 87 of the selected oven assembly 13 The identification terminal 111 and the identification terminal 113 are polled. In one embodiment, the presence or absence of an identification prong correlates to a two digit binary number such as 00, 01, 10, or 11 stored in the lookup table of the microprocessor 103. The microprocessor 103 then retrieves the specific heating profile associated with the configuration of the identification prong and initiates heating of the heating plate 73 in accordance with the retrieved heating profile. Heating of the heating plate 73 is performed by supplying energy to the heating plate 73 through a current supplied by the battery 26 and adapted to the heating profile.

Next, the medium is heated in the oven assembly 13 through heating of the heating plate 73. The user then engages the mouth area 33 of the mouthpiece assembly 7 into the mouth and applies a negative pressure to the mouthpiece assembly 7 to pull air through the PEV 1. The negative pressure of the mouthpiece assembly 7 draws air from the first suction opening 35 and the second suction opening 37 through the oven assembly 13 and around the heated medium. Vapor from the heated medium is drawn through path 129, through the bubbler region 30, and into the mouthpiece channel 29 where the vapor is aspirated or used by the user. The user can selectively rotate the ring 31 of the upper shell assembly 9 to expose or cover the first suction opening 35 and / or the second suction opening 37, Pressure and air flow can be customized. The vapor from the heated medium travels along a path 129 that is completely surrounded by the material 131 that is configured not to contaminate or chemically destroy the vapor.

It is possible to operate the PEV 1 to reproduce music or other audible sound through the speaker 127, thereby improving the overall experience.

II. Wax oven assembly

Many wax vaporizers on the market use high temperature heated bare wires that vaporize the wax. Bare wire wax vaporizers quickly deplete wax due to high temperatures. One of the disadvantages of this approach is generally the short spacing between the application of the wax. Users often have to stop supplying wax and replenish the wax supply. Also, the material in the vaporized wax does not require relatively high heat. High heat can provide a less desirable vaporization experience to the user and can result in combustion.

Figs. 16-19 illustrate an exemplary oven assembly for use with a wax material, hereinafter referred to as a wax oven 201. Fig. The wax oven 201 generally includes a chamber 204 defined by a base 202, an outer wall 215 extending from the base 202, an outer wall 215 and a base 202, Includes at least one convection aperture 221 defined by element 213, baffle element 217 disposed within chamber 204, wax chamber 225 defined by baffle element 217 and baffle element 217 do.

More specifically, the wax oven 201 generally extends from the top portion 203 to the bottom portion 205 and includes a heating assembly 207 and a wax pocket assembly 209. The wax oven 201 does not have a bare wire configuration that heats the wax material through convection and minimizes the burning of the material to be vaporized.

The heating assembly 207 includes various components that are intended to provide convection oven style heating to the contents of the wax oven 201 and thus provide a different taste profile when compared to a bare wire wax vaporizer. The heating assembly 207 includes an identification prong 211 electrically connected to the PEV 1 for receiving power therethrough. The identification prong 211 can be configured to provide identification information to the PEV 1 and can be associated with a specific heating profile whereby the PEV 1 can be configured to measure electrical resistance, the number of identification prongs 211, Recognizes the wax oven 201 through the arrangement of the prongs 211 or any other feature that can provide identification information regarding the wax oven 201. [ Once the heating profile is identified, the PEV (1) heats the wax oven (201) in accordance with the heating profile associated with the wax oven (201).

The heating assembly 207 also includes a heating element 213 that is electrically connected to the battery 26 of the PEV 1 via an identification prong 211. The heating element 213 is configured to provide convection style heating to the wax pocket assembly 209 and any wax material disposed therein.

The wax pocket assembly 209 includes a cylindrical shroud as an outer layer described below as an outer wall 215. The outer wall 215 surrounds the baffle element 217 (Figures 18 and 19) and facilitates directing air heated by the heating element 213 through the baffle element 217 and around the baffle element 217 . Baffle element 217 forms a lower opening 219 for receiving heated air. The lower opening 219 is in fluid communication with a plurality of convection openings 221 defined by the baffle element 217 and disposed about the perimeter thereof.

The chamber element 223 extends into a generally cylindrical lower opening 219 and defines a wax chamber 225 therein. The wax chamber 225 extends from the top opening 227 to the bottom surface 229. In some embodiments, the depth of the wax chamber 225 is between 1 and 13 millimeters. The top opening 227 is surrounded by the top surface 231. The upper surface 231 may be in the form of a bowl or depression or it may be inclined towards the top opening 227 to direct the wax material towards the wax chamber 225. To load the upper surface 231 with wax material, the user may scrape or otherwise deposit the wax material directly in the container of wax material. In addition, the teeth 233 extend upward from the upper surface 231 and are configured to allow the user to scrape the wax material out of the container to deposit the wax material into the wax oven 201 and settle onto the upper surface 231.

In some embodiments, baffle element 217 is formed of a ceramic material having beneficial thermal conduction properties. The baffle element 217 has an outer wall 218 to facilitate airflow around the lower wall 219, the convection aperture 221, the chamber element 223 and the wax chamber 225 and the upper portion 203 of the wax oven 201. [ Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > 215 < / RTI >

17, the wax material 235 may be scraped by the teeth 233 to deposit the wax material 235 on the upper surface 231. As shown in FIG. As the heated air is introduced around the wax material 235, the viscosity of the wax material 235 is reduced and the wax material 235 begins to move in the direction of arrows AA, BB and finally CC, The material 235 is seated against the lower end face 229 of the wax chamber 225. Although the user has processed the PEV 1 and maintained the PEV 1 at various angles, the wax chamber 225 is generally vertically oriented to provide a deep chamber for retaining the wax material 235 therein do. Thus, the wax chamber 225 reduces the outflow of the wax material 235 within the wax oven 201, but the PEV 1 is handled at various locations.

When the user sucks a certain amount of air through the PEV 1, air is heated by the heating element 213 and directed around the chamber element 223 in a convection style heating method. The wax material 235 is heated, vaporized, and entrained in the air stream flowing to the user through the wax oven 201.

Methods of using a wax oven 201 are provided and discussed herein. The method may be used to remove wax material 235 from the container and from the container of wax material 235 directly to the upper surface 231 or through the use of the teeth 233 to scrape the wax material 235 out of the container Begin to scratch. In some embodiments of the wax oven 201, loading onto the upper surface 231 of the wax material 235 may be performed while the wax oven 201 resides in the PEV 1. In another embodiment, the user operates the PEV 1 after removing the wax oven 201 to load the wax material 235 and then returning the wax oven 201 back to the PEV 1.

The battery 26 of the PEV 1 is instructed by the heating profile of the wax oven 201 and by one or more characteristics of the identification prong 211, such as electrical resistance, number of prongs 211, And provides power through the identification prongs 11, as shown. For example, the wax oven 201 may include three prongs that identify to the PEV 1 that the wax oven 201 should be heated to 300 degrees. The other wax oven (not shown) may include two prongs 211 that indicate to the PEV 1 that the wax oven should be heated to 200 degrees. Other wax ovens may be formed of different materials with different thermal requirements or may be intended to heat materials of different styles, such as liquids, rather than wax materials 235. [

Once the heating element 213 is activated, the heated air flows through the lower opening 219 around the chamber element 223 and through the convection hole 221. This heated air also travels across the top surface 231 and the teeth 233 to heat the wax material 235 and reduce its viscosity. Once the wax material 235 is less viscous, the wax material 235 moves from the upper surface 231 to the wax chamber 225. Once inside the wax chamber 225, the wax material 235 is heated through the convection air moving around the chamber element 223. If the wax chamber 225 is a deep and substantially vertical chamber, the user can physically taper or angle the PEV 1 without spilling wax material 235 out of the wax chamber 225.

More efficient heating of the wax material 235 is less likely to cause the desired wax material 235 compared to the direct combustion method with more accurate heat transfer due to the convection style heating of the wax material 235 and the absence of the bare wire heater. Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > temperature < / RTI > Thus, the wax oven 201 minimizes loss to the surrounding oven environment and extends the vaping time between subsequent wax additions.

III. Convection oven assembly

Figure 20 shows an exemplary oven assembly 301 suitable for integration with the PEV 1. [ The oven assembly 301 generally includes a chamber 302 defined by an oven holder 304, an outer wall 303 extending from the oven holder 304, an outer wall 303 and an oven holder 304, At least one filter opening 319 defined by the heated disk 311, the oven cup 309 disposed in the chamber 302, the chamber 310 defined by the oven cup 309 and the oven cup 309, .

20, the oven assembly 301 includes an outer wall 303 extending from the oven holder 304 and surrounding the oven cup 309. As shown in FIG. The outer wall 303 is spaced from the oven cup 309 to form an air channel 305 between the outer wall 303 and the oven cup 309. The outer wall 303 may be made of stainless steel, glass, ceramics or any other suitable medical material. In some variations of the oven assembly 301, the outer wall 303 is not heated. In an alternative embodiment of the oven assembly 301, the outer wall 303 is heated. The outer wall 303 extends upwardly from the oven holder 304 to surround or surround the oven cup 309 in the manner of a chimney. The oven holder 304 may be formed of a polymeric material selected to withstand the temperatures contained in the PEV 1. For example, some variations of the oven holder 304 may be formed using materials of the polyetheretherketone (PEEK) type.

The bottom region 306 of the oven cup 309 defines a plurality of air openings 307 into the interior of the oven cup 309. The opening 307 allows heated air in the air channel 305 to enter the oven cup 309. 20, the openings 307 may be disposed on the lower end of the oven cup 309 and / or on the side of the oven cup 309 as desired or desired. The number and location of the air openings 307 may vary depending on the application of the PEV 1. The oven cup 309 may be made of glass, ceramic, stainless steel or any other suitable medical material. Although a PEV 1 with particular characteristics is shown and described, the oven cup 309 can be sized and shaped to suit other vaporizer configurations, such as a pen-type vaporizer, a large vaporizer, or a single use device. Thus, oven cup 309 can be provided to have any size and shape relative to the underlying vaporizer structure.

The heating disc 311 is located within the chamber 302 and between the outer wall 303, the bottom region 306 and the oven holder 304. The heating disk 311 may be a metal such as stainless steel or copper, glass, ceramic or any other suitable medical material. In some variations of the oven assembly 301, the heating disk 311 is a thin heating film. In another variation, heating disk 311 is a heater enclosed with glass, ceramic or other suitable medical material. The heating disk 311 is electronically coupled to a power source, such as the battery 26 of the PEV 1, through an identification prong 316 that extends through the oven holder 304 to be electronically coupled to the heating disk 311 .

The air can be drawn through or over the frit 313 located between the heating disc 311 and the bottom region 306 of the oven cup 309. [ The frit 313 is porous and can be made of glass, ceramics or any other suitable high temperature film. 20, air enters the plurality of chamber openings 308 defined by the lower chamber walls 312 and accumulates heated air before entering the chamber 310 defined by the oven cups 309, An air plenum 315 is provided between the lower end region 306 of the oven cup 309 and the frit 313. It should be noted that the air plenum 315 is only optional. In some variations of the oven assembly 301, the air plenum 315 is omitted or associated with the chamber 310. In some variations of the oven assembly 310, a temperature sensor is contained within the chamber 310, the air plenum 315, or is directed at the frit 313 to control the air temperature.

In some variations of the oven assembly 301, the chamber 310 is capped by a seal 317. Seal 317 may be formed using a silicon material or any other material suitable for temperature and environment. The seal 317 forms a filter opening 319 in which a frit filter 321 is disposed to allow heated air from the chamber 310 to pass therethrough. The tube 323 is disposed in a seal 317 opposite the chamber 310 and is generally aligned with the frit filter 321 for all heated air and passes through the mouthpiece assembly 7. Some variations of the tube 323 may be formed as a bubbler to hold the liquid therein and to provide heated air and additional filtration components to the vaporized material.

The air in the air channel 305 is heated by the heat generated by the heating disk 311 and heated by the outer wall 303 in a variant of the oven assembly 301 having a heated outer wall 303. In operation, . The heated air is circulated through the air plenum 315 and the chamber 310. The heated and circulated air thereby heats the walls of the oven cup 309 to more evenly and efficiently heat the material to be vaporized in the oven cup 309. For example, the air heated and circulated in the air channel 305 provides a more uniform temperature distribution along the wall of the oven cup 309. This can prevent combustion and / or non-uniform heating of the material to be vaporized in the oven cup 309. The frit 313 is further provided to further allow the air circulating through the air channel 305 to be heated more efficiently as the air passes through the frit 313 between the heating disc 311 and the air opening 307 Can be accepted. The air plenum 315 may cause the heated air to accumulate before entering the chamber 310 of the oven cup 309. [ This heated air then passes through the chamber opening 308 of the oven cup 309 to heat the material to be vaporized in the chamber 310. The heated air and vaporized material then exits the chamber 310 through the filter opening 319 and the frit filter 321 and enters the tube 323. The tube 323 may further filter heated air and vaporized material through a bubbler configuration or other mechanism. The vaporized material in the heated air produced by the oven assembly 301 is then transferred to the mouthpiece assembly 7 and ultimately delivered to the user.

Figure 21 shows an exemplary oven assembly 401 suitable for integration with the PEV 1. Oven assembly 401 is similar in many respects to oven assembly 301 and has similar elements with the same number. However, the oven assembly 401 includes a second heating disk 403 disposed between the frit 313 and the air plenum 315. The second heating disk 403 is configured to allow heated air to pass through the second heating disk 403 and into the air plenum 310 to further more uniformly heat the air passing through the chamber 310 Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > 405 < / RTI > The heated air moves through the air channel 305 to the opening 307 in the direction of the arrow FF. The heated air then enters the frit 303 and passes through the opening 405 in the direction of the arrow GG and into the chamber 310 in the direction of arrow HH.

Although the opening 405 is shown as a single opening, some variations of the oven assembly 401 may include a plurality of openings 405. Some variations of the second heating disk 403 may be stainless steel or metal such as copper, glass, ceramic or any other suitable medical material. The second heating disk 403 may comprise a thin heating film and / or the second heating disk 403 may be enclosed with glass, ceramic or any other suitable medical material. The second heating disk 403 is electrically connected to a power source such as the battery 26 of the PEV 1 to provide electric power for heating the second heating disk 403. [

Figure 22 shows an exemplary oven assembly 501 suitable for integration with the PEV 1. Oven assembly 501 is similar in many respects to oven assembly 301 and has similar elements with the same number. However, oven assembly 501 does not include a heating disk element such as heating disk 311 or second heating disk 403. In some variations of the oven assembly 501, the outer wall 303 is heated to act to heat the air moving through the air channel 305 and the opening 307. Rather, instead of heating the heating disk 311 and the air plenum 315, the oven assembly 501 does not have a heating disk and provides an air plenum 503 disposed below the frit 505. The frit 505 acts as a filter or first material to heat the air entering the chamber 310 immediately adjacent the lower chamber wall 312. As shown in FIG. 22, the heated air travels in the direction of arrow II and into the frit 505 through the air channel 305. Air passes through frit 505 as shown by arrow JJ into chamber opening 308 and into chamber 310. [ The temperature sensor 507 may be disposed in the air plenum 503 to determine the temperature of the heated air just before entering the frit 505. [ The temperature sensor 314 may be omitted in some variations of the oven assembly 501 or may be used in conjunction with the temperature sensor 507 to provide additional information to the microprocessor 103.
