  • the present invention relates to an induction heating assembly for a vapour generating device.
  • Such devices can use one of a number of different approaches to provide heat to the substance.
  • One such approach is that of simple provision of a heating element to which electrical power is provided to heat the element, the element in turn heating the substance to generate vapour.
  • vapour generation device which employs an inductive heating approach.
  • an inductions coil hereinafter also referred to as an inductor and induction heating device
  • EM electromagnetic
  • induction heating to generate vapour has the potential to provide controlled heating and therefore controlled vapour generation.
  • in practice can result in unsuitable temperatures unknowingly being produced in the vapour generation substance. This can waste power making it expensive to operate and risks damaging components or making ineffective use of the vapour generation substance inconveniencing users who expect a simple and reliable device.
  • the present invention seeks to mitigate at least some of the above problems.
  • an induction heating assembly for a vapour generating device, the heating assembly comprising: an induction heating device and an electronic component having material able to act as a first susceptor, wherein the induction heating device is arranged to heat, in use, a second susceptor for a first period, and the electronic component is arranged to be activated for a second period, and wherein the first period and the second period are non-concurrent.
  • the electronic component may be susceptible to interference by excitation caused by operation of the induction heating device during use of the induction heating device.
  • the induction heating device and the electronic component are able to function as desired without either having a detrimental effect on the functioning of the other.
  • the electronic component may be an LED indicator; a sensor arranged to detect presence of a consumable, such as a cartridge or an induction heatable body, in a heating chamber, such as a photo or light sensor; a battery monitor; or a sensor arranged to detect age of a consumable.
  • the electronic component is a temperature sensor, the temperature sensor being arranged to monitor, in use, a temperature related to heat generated from the second susceptor for the second period.
  • the amount of noise in a signal output by the temperature sensor when the temperature sensor is used to monitor temperature due to the EM field generated by the induction heating device is able to be reduced by operating the temperature sensor at a different time to when the induction heating device is operated. This allows the temperature to be monitored to a greater level of accuracy and precision making the monitored temperature to be more representative of the true temperatures produced. This leads to an improvement in the reliability and safety of the device since the temperatures produced by the heating can be more reliably measured allowing any unsuitable temperatures to be addressed more easily and with a greater amount of certainty.
  • the induction heating device and the electronic component/temperature sensor may be separate or distinct components from each other.
  • the first and/or second susceptor may comprise one or more, but not limited, of aluminium, iron, nickel, stainless steel and alloys thereof, e.g. nickel chromium. With the application of an electromagnetic field in its vicinity, the susceptor may generate heat due to eddy currents and magnetic hysteresis losses resulting in a conversion of energy from electromagnetic to heat.
  • first period and second period do not overlap, they may be arranged to occur in any possible way, such as with a gap between the first and second periods.
  • first and second period are arranged to be sequential.
  • the term“sequential” to mean one substantially following the next, ideally without there being any gap or overlap between the first and second periods.
  • This allows the monitored temperature to be as representative of the temperature achieved before or during heating by avoiding fluctuations in the ambient temperature around the induction heating assembly or cooling after the first period has finished causing a change in temperature before the second period starts or after the second period finishes.
  • the effects of the noise caused by the induction device heating the susceptor (i.e. the second susceptor) during the first period reduce very quickly once heating is stopped such that any gap or overlap between the first and second periods should ideally be as small as possible.
  • practical embodiments may include a small gap or overlap between the periods (e.g.
  • any gap or overlap between the periods is less than 1 % of the duration of either or both of the first and second periods or less than 1 ms.
  • Each period may occur only once in any one use of the induction heating assembly by a user.
  • the first period is arranged to be repeated at least once and/or the second period is arranged to be repeated at least once. This allows for multiple cycles of heating and/or temperature monitoring. This provides an improved accuracy of the temperature throughout the use of the induction heating assembly when the second period is repeated and less fluctuation in temperature over the use of the induction heating assembly when the first period is repeated.
  • each of the first and second periods is arranged to be repeated at least once and the first and second periods are arranged to alternate. This improves how representative the monitored temperature is of the temperature achieved during the first period and further reduces fluctuations caused by providing applying and not applying heating.
  • One cycle of the first period and the second period may last any suitable period of time.
  • the time from the start of one of the first or second period to the end of the other period is arranged to be about 0.05 seconds (s) to 0.15 seconds.
  • this period keeps a sufficient response speed for temperature monitoring, and at the same time gives the induction heating device sufficient time to effectively increase temperature. This is because a time shorter than 0.05 s would have a negative effect on the capability to increase the temperature, but a time longer than 0.15 s would negatively affect the speed of response able to be achieved when responding to the temperature monitoring by adapting the heating applied.
  • the first period may be arranged to be longer than the second period, or the first period may be arranged to be the same length of time as the second period, or the first period may be arranged to be shorter than the second period.
  • the first period being longer than the second period is advantageous because it allows more time for heating allowing either a higher temperature to be achieved or for the heat to spread making the temperature more even across the volume being heated. This also reduces the amount of heat loss during the second period.
  • the first period and the second period being the same length is advantageous because it simplifies operation of the induction heating assembly.
  • the first period being shorter than the second period is advantageous because it allows more time for monitoring temperature relative to the amount of time spent heating.
  • the amount of heat provided by the induction heating device may be determined independently of the temperature monitored by the temperature sensor.
  • the induction heating device is arranged to adjust the amount of heat provided to the susceptor (i.e. the second susceptor) based on the temperature monitored by the temperature sensor. This allows the monitoring carried out by the temperature sensor to be used as feedback thereby allowing the heating to be adjusted to take account of fluctuations in the ambient or local temperature or different conditions in the environment in which the induction heating assembly is located.
  • the induction heating assembly may further comprise a controller arranged in use to control the induction heating device and temperature sensor. The controller may be arranged in use to control the induction heating device based on the temperature monitored by the temperature sensor. Preferably, the controller is arranged to control the induction heating device by being arranged in use to adjust the amount of power supplied to the induction heating device.
  • the controller may record and/or store and/or conduct processing on the monitored temperatures.
  • the controller is configured to average temperatures monitored by the temperature sensor over a third period so as to allow noise detection in the temperature monitored by the temperature sensor. By allowing noise detection, additional noise can be removed from the signal produced by the temperature sensor when monitoring temperature. This would then allow the accuracy and precision of the monitored temperature to be improved.
  • the controller may be further configured to detect noise in the temperature monitored by the temperature sensor based on the averaged temperatures monitored during the third period and apply a filter to temperature monitored by the temperature sensor based on the detected noise so as to reduce noise in monitored temperatures.
  • the components of the induction heating assembly may be powered in any suitable manner.

  • FIG. 1 An example vapour generating device is generally illustrated at 1 in an assembled configuration in Figure 1 and an unassembled configuration in Figure 2.
  • the example vapour generating device 1 is a hand held device (by which we intend to mean a device that a user is able to hold and support un-aided in a single hand), which has an induction heating assembly 10, an induction heatable cartridge 20 and a mouthpiece 30. Vapour is released by the cartridge when it is heated. Accordingly, vapour is generated by using the induction heating assembly to heat the induction heatable cartridge. The vapour is then able to be inhaled by a user at the mouthpiece.
  • a user inhales the vapour by drawing air into the device 1 , through or around the induction heatable cartridge 20 and out of the mouthpiece 30 when the cartridge is heated.
  • This is achieved by the cartridge being located in a heating compartment 12 defined by a portion of the induction heating assembly 10, and the compartment being in gaseous connection with an air inlet 14 formed in the assembly and an air outlet 32 in the mouthpiece when the device is assembled.
  • This allows air to be drawn through the device by application of negative pressure, which is usually created by a user drawing air from the air outlet.
  • the cartridge 20 is a body which includes a vaporisable substance 22 and an induction heatable susceptor 24 (it is intended this susceptor may be the “second susceptor” referred to above).
  • the vaporisable substance includes one or more of tobacco, humectant, glycerine and propylene glycol.
  • the susceptor is a plurality of plates that are electrically conducting.
  • the cartridge also has a layer or membrane 26 to contain the vaporisable substance and susceptor, with the layer or membrane being air permeable. In other examples the membrane is not present.
  • the induction heating assembly 10 is used to heat the cartridge 20.
  • the assembly includes an induction heating device, in the form of an induction coil 16 and a power source 18.
  • the power source and the induction coil are electrically connected such that electrical power may be selectively transmitted between the two components.
  • the induction coil 16 is substantially cylindrical such that the form of the induction heating assembly 10 is also substantially cylindrical.
  • the heating compartment 12 is defined radially inward of the induction coil with a base at an axial end of the induction coil and side walls around a radially inner side of the induction coil.
  • the heating compartment is open at an opposing axial end of the induction coil to the base.
  • the opening is covered by the mouthpiece 30 with an opening to the air outlet 32 being located at the opening of the heating compartment.
  • the air inlet 14 has an opening into the heating compartment at the base of the heating compartment.
  • a temperature sensor 1 1 is also located at the base of the heating compartment 12. Accordingly, the temperature sensor is located within the heating compartment at the same axial end of the induction coil 16 as the base of the heating compartment. This means that when a cartridge 20 is located in the heating compartment and when the vapour generating device 1 is assembled (in other words when the vapour generating device is in use or ready for use) the cartridge is deformed around temperature sensor. This is because, in this example, the temperature sensor does not pierce the membrane 26 of the cartridge due to its size and shape.
  • the temperature sensor 1 1 is electrically connected to a controller 13 located within the induction heating assembly 10.
  • the controller is also electrically connected to the induction coil 16 and the power source 18, and is adapted in use to control operation of the induction coil and the temperature sensor by determining when each is to be supplied with power from the power source.
  • the cartridge 20 is heated. This is achieved by an alternating electrical current changed from a direct electrical current supplied by the power source 18 to the induction coil 16.
  • the current flows through the induction coil causing a controlled EM field to be generated in a region near the coil.
  • the EM field generated provides a source for an external susceptor (in this case the susceptor plates of the cartridge) to absorb the EM energy and convert it to heat, thereby achieving induction heating.
  • the induction coil 16 by power being provided to the induction coil 16 a current is caused to pass through the induction coil, causing an EM field to be generated.
  • the current supplied to the induction coil is an alternating (AC) current. This causes heat to be generated within the cartridge because, when the cartridge is located in the heating compartment 12, it is intended that the susceptor plates are arranged (substantially) parallel to the radius of the induction coil 16 as is shown in the figures, or at least have a length component parallel to the radius of the induction coil.
  • the positioning of the susceptor plates causes eddy currents to be induced in each plate due to coupling of the EM field generated by the induction coil to each susceptor plate. This causes heat to be generated in each plate by induction.
  • the plates of the cartridge 20 are in thermal communication with the vaporisable substance 22, in this example by direct or indirect contact between each susceptor plate and the vaporisable substance. This means that when the susceptor 24 is inductively heated by the induction coil 16 of the induction heating assembly 10, heat is transferred from the susceptor 24 to the vaporisable substance 22, to heat the vaporisable substance 22 and produce a vapour.
  • the temperature sensor 1 1 When the temperature sensor 1 1 is in use, it monitors the temperature by measuring temperature at its surface. Each temperature measurement is sent to the controller 13 in the form of an electrical signal.
  • the vapour generating device 1 When the vapour generating device 1 is in use, inducting heating provided by the inductive heating assembly 10 and temperature monitoring provided by the temperature sensor 1 1 are carried out in accordance with an example method.
  • inductive heating is provided for a first period and temperature monitoring is carried out for a second period.
  • the first and second periods are non concurrent. Instead, the first and second periods occur at different times with the second period following the first period and the first period following the second period in a repeating cycle for the duration of a heating session during which monitoring of the temperature is required to provide controlled heating of the vaporisable substance 22.
  • a heating session might last just for the duration of a single puff (i.e.
  • a single draw by the user on the mouthpiece could, in alternative examples, last for multiple puffs and it could include a heat-up phase (or phases) and a maintain phase (or phases) and it could include transitions between different target temperatures, or other similar transitions.
  • Each cycle from the start of one period (either the first or second period) to the end of the other period (the other of the first or second period) has a duration of between about 0.05 seconds and about 0.15 seconds.
  • the second period is either the same length as, shorter than or longer than the first period.
  • the controller adjusts the amount power provided to the induction coil 16 based on the temperature monitored by the temperature sensor 13. This is applied, for example, when there is a predetermined temperature to which the cartridge 20 is intended to be heated. The controller then increases or decreases the amount of power supplied to the induction coil based on the difference between the predetermined temperature and the monitored temperature to reduce the difference as much as possible. In a similar example, heating is applied for a predetermined period of time on start-up of the device 1 in a new use session. The temperature sensor 13 is then used to monitor the temperature.
  • the controller checks the monitored temperature against a look-up chart an adjusts the heating profile (so adjusts the amount of power being supplied to the induction coil 16 to adjust the amount of heating being provided) to compensate for the ambient temperature, condition of the capsule or to stop a session of use (such as if a predetermined amount of prior use of a capsule is detected, for instance by a predetermined rate of change of temperature).
  • This allows the amount of power used to be reduced since normally the maximum amount of power it is possible to provide will be applied on start-up. However, this presents the greatest risk of overheating or burning, so monitoring is such a situation improves safety and reduces the possibility of damage to the components of the device.
  • the controller 13 averages a series of temperature measurements provided by the temperature sensor 1 1 , with the series of temperature measurements being taken over a third period independent of the first and second periods.
  • the averaged temperatures are then used in noise detection from which it is possible to filter out (i.e. remove) the noise from the electrical signal based on the noise detected from the averaged temperatures and/or to identify and discard or ignore unreliable or anomalous temperature measurements.
  • FIG 3 shows a further example vapour generating device 1.
  • the vapour generating device has most of the same features as the vapour generating device shown in Figures 1 and 2.
  • the example vapour generating device 1 is a hand held device, which has an induction heating assembly 10, an induction heatable cartridge (which includes a vaporisable substance 22, an induction heatable susceptor 24 and, in this example, a membrane 26) and a mouthpiece 30.
  • the vapour generating device 1 of this example functions in the same way as described above in relation to the Figures 1 and 2. Accordingly, in use, air is drawn through air inlet 14, into the heating compartment containing the cartridge and out through the air outlet 32 in the mouthpiece 30 to the user.
  • the induction heating assembly 10 is used to heat a cartridge.
  • the assembly includes an induction heating device, in the form of an induction coil 16 and a power source 18.
  • the power source and the induction coil are electrically connected such that electrical power may be selectively transmitted between the two components.
  • an electronic component 50 This is an indicator located in the heating compartment of the heating assembly against a wall of the heating compartment where the mouthpiece 30 meets the heating compartment. This is therefore located at an end of the induction coil 16, close to the mouthpiece. This means when the induction coil is generating an EM field, the electronic component is located within the EM field.
  • the electronic component 50 is configured to monitor remaining battery life. In other examples, the electronic component is configured to monitor the remaining lifespan of the cartridge, such as by monitoring the number of remaining draws of vapour available from the device, which corresponds to the remaining volume of vaporisable material. In further examples, the electronic component is configured to detect whether there is a cartridge present in the heating compartment.
  • the electronic component 50 contains a material that is able to act as a susceptor when exposed to an EM field. We have found that this causes the electronic component to operate in a manner other than the manner expected if operated when the induction coil 16 is operating due to the exposure to the EM field generated by the induction coil 16. This is due to the EM field causing interference in the material of the electronic component that is able to act as a susceptor. Note that in this context, when we say that the electronic component includes material that is able to act as a susceptor (i.e.
  • the“first susceptor”) does not necessarily imply that this material will generate significant heat, simply that it may be affected in some way by the electromagnetic field generated by the induction coil which can cause the electronic component to behave in an altered (and generally less optimum manner) when subjected to the influence of the electromagnetic field because of its susceptibility to the electromagnetic field.
  • the vapour generation device 1 shown in Figure 3 when the vapour generation device 1 shown in Figure 3 is in use, the electronic component and induction coil are operated during non-concurrent periods. This means the electronic component will only be active when there is no EM field being generated, thereby meaning there is no interference produced.
