Abstract

The present utility model provides an atomizing core, an atomizer, and an aerosol generation device. In the atomizing core, an electrode is formed on a porous ceramic base by means of thick film deposition and a heating layer is bonded to the porous substrate without the need to dispose the electrode on the heating layer. In this way, as the electrode is formed on the porous ceramic base by means of thick film deposition and the thickness of the electrode is at least greater than that of the heating layer, the electrode can be firmly bonded to the porous ceramic base to prevent the electrode from detaching under the impact of high-temperature high-speed aerosol-forming matrix fluid, thus improving the stability and reliability of supplying power to the heating layer, effectively solving the problem that the resistance at the electrode detachment position is increased after the electrode easily detaches from the heating layer, and enhancing the heating uniformity of the heating layer. Moreover, as the electrode is formed on the porous ceramic base by means of thick film deposition, an external voltage can be connected to the heating layer by electrically connecting the electrode to a power supply device by means of only a metal elastic pin.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model, and are not intended to limit the utility model.

Embodiment one

Please refer to Figs. 1 to 2 together, and the atomizing core provided by Embodiment 1 of the present utility model is now described. The atomizing core provided by Embodiment 1 of the utility model is used in an atomizer, which can generate heat under the electric drive of the power supply device of the aerosol generating device, and heat and atomize the aerosol-forming matrix in the liquid storage chamber of the atomizer Smoke is formed for the user to inhale to achieve the effect of simulating smoking.

Please refer to FIG. 2 , the atomizing core provided by Embodiment 1 of the present invention includes a porous base 1 and a heat generating layer 3 . At least part of the outer surface of the porous substrate 1 is formed with an atomizing surface 11 . The porous substrate 1 has a capillary adsorption microporous structure inside, the porous substrate 1 can absorb and store aerosols through the microporous structure to form a matrix, and the adsorbed and stored aerosol-formed matrix can be continuously transported to the atomizing surface 11 through the microporous structure . The heat generating layer 3 is formed on at least part of the atomizing surface 11 . When the atomizing core is in use, power is supplied to the atomizing core through the power supply device of the aerosol generating device, the heating layer 3 generates heat after being energized, and the heat is transmitted to the aerosol forming matrix on the atomizing surface 11, so that the aerosol forming matrix Atomization forms smoke that can be inhaled by the user.

In some of the embodiments, the porous substrate 1 can also be a porous material capable of absorbing liquid, such as porous ceramics and porous metal. In some of the specific embodiments, the porous substrate 1 is porous ceramics; further, in some of the more specific embodiments, the porosity of the porous substrate 1 is 30%-80%, and the pore diameter of the porous substrate 1 is 10-30 μm.

In some of the embodiments, the heating layer 3 is a metal layer or an alloy layer with stable chemical properties and good electrical and thermal conductivity, and the heating layer 3 is a copper layer, an iron layer, a nickel layer, a chromium layer, a gold layer, a silver layer, or a platinum layer. , palladium layer, molybdenum layer and other metal layers and gold-silver alloy layer, gold-platinum alloy layer, gold-silver-platinum alloy layer, silver-palladium alloy layer, silver-platinum alloy layer, palladium-copper alloy layer, palladium-silver alloy layer, nickel-chromium alloy layer at least any of the . In some specific embodiments, the heating layer 3 is a nickel-chromium alloy layer. The nickel-chromium alloy layer has good thermal performance, and the price of the nickel-chromium alloy layer is higher than that of precious metal layers such as gold layer, silver layer, platinum layer, palladium layer, or gold-silver alloy layer, gold-platinum alloy layer, gold-silver-platinum alloy layer, and silver-palladium alloy layer. , silver-platinum alloy layer, palladium-copper alloy layer, palladium-silver alloy layer and other precious metal alloy layers are cheap. In some of the more specific embodiments, the heating layer 3 is a nickel-chromium alloy layer, and the mass ratio of Ni/(Ni+Cr) is 0.2-0.9. According to the resistance calculation formula, the thickness of the heating layer 3 determines the resistance value of the heating layer 3. The thinner the heating layer 3 is, the larger the resistance value is, and the thicker the heating layer 3 is, the smaller the resistance value is. The thickness of the heating layer 3 is adjusted and controlled to achieve the purpose of adjusting the resistance value of the heating layer 3 . At the same time, in the research and development process, through a large number of experiments, the utility model found that: when the thickness of the heating layer 3 is too thin, the heating layer 3 of the thin layer structure is relatively loose and the continuity is not good, which affects the stability of the resistance value of the heating layer 3 The heat generating layer 3 is relatively easy to be oxidized or carbonized at high temperature; the thicker the heat generating layer 3 is, the continuity and compactness of the heat generating layer 3 with a thin layer structure will also increase accordingly, making the heat generating layer 3 resistant to oxidation or carbonization The ability is greatly enhanced, thereby enhancing the stability of the resistance of the heating layer 3. However, when the thickness of the heat generating layer 3 is too thick, on the one hand, the formation time of the heat generating layer 3 is longer, thereby greatly reducing the production efficiency; The microstructure is destroyed, affecting the stability of the resistance value of the heating layer 3 . And considering that the resistance of the heating layer 3 is too low, there is a potential safety hazard of short circuit overload of the heating layer 3, and the resistance of the heating layer 3 is too high, there is a problem that the required heating power cannot be reached, so the common resistance of the heating layer 3 is 0.8 ~ 2Ω . Considering the influence of the thickness of the heating layer 3 on the stability of the resistance of the heating layer 3, and considering the positive correlation between the thickness of the heating layer 3 and the formation time, combined with the common resistance of the heating layer 3 being 0.8-2Ω, taking into account the above considerations, the heat generation The thickness of the layer 3 is set to be 1˜5 μm. In some of the specific embodiments, the heating layer 3 is a nickel-chromium alloy layer, and the thickness of the nickel-chromium alloy layer is set to 1-5 μm, so that the resistance stability of the heating layer 3 is improved, and the resistance of the heating layer 3 is within the common resistance range , and the formation time of the heating layer 3 is moderate, thereby improving the resistance stability of the atomizing core, the heating power of the atomizing core is relatively large, the atomizing effect of the atomizing core is good, and the manufacturing cost of the atomizing core is controllable.

In some embodiments, the thin film deposition process may be, but not limited to, a magnetron sputtering process in the thin film deposition process. Because the heating area of the atomizing core is larger and the heating is more uniform, there will be no local overheating phenomenon, which is beneficial to improve the uniformity of heating of the aerosol-forming substrate, thereby improving the atomization effect. In some of the specific embodiments, the heating layer 3 is formed by depositing the magnetron sputtering process, the heating layer 3 is a nickel-chromium alloy layer, the target power density of the magnetron sputtering process is 5-15W/cm ² , and the sputtering pressure is 0.1-0.3Pa, and the sputtering time is 30-90min. In this way, a nickel-chromium alloy layer with a thickness of 1-5 μm is deposited on at least part of the atomized surface 11 of the porous substrate 1 by magnetron sputtering, and the nickel-chromium alloy layer forms the heating layer 3 .

In the process of depositing and forming the heating layer 3 by thin film deposition process, the formation process of the heating layer 3 generally includes: 1. Initial formation of the island: the gaseous target material reaches the surface of the porous substrate 1, adheres and condenses to form some uniform and fine The moving atomic group, the in-situ group is called "island"; 2. The number of islands is saturated: the "island" continuously accepts new deposited atoms, and gradually grows up by merging with other small "islands", and the number of islands quickly reaches saturation; 3. Island growth and nucleation: while small "islands" merge continuously, new small "islands" will be formed on the surface of the vacated porous substrate 1; 4. Merge and grow filling: the formation of small "islands" The merger continues, and the larger "islands" continue to annex the smaller "islands" nearby; 5. Filling the pores to form a film: the isolated small "islands" are connected to each other as the merger progresses, and finally only some Isolated holes and channels, these holes and channels are continuously filled to form a film with continuous morphology and complete coverage.

Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 together. In some embodiments, the atomization core further includes a transition layer 2 formed between the heat generating layer 3 and the porous substrate 1 . In a specific embodiment, a transition layer 2 with a thickness of 0.1-1 μm is deposited on at least part of the atomized surface 11 of the porous substrate 1 by a thin film deposition process, and a heat generating layer 3 is formed on the side of the transition layer 2 away from the porous substrate 1 . Because the potential energy of the pits on the surface of the porous substrate 1 is the lowest, the process of forming the transition layer 2 is the same as that of the above-mentioned heat generating layer 3, so the transition layer 2 reduces the roughness of the surface of the porous substrate 1, so that the heat generating layer 3 has a good continuity. It is convenient to adjust and control the thickness of the heating layer 3 . Moreover, the transition layer 2 can also prevent sodium and potassium ions from the porous substrate 1 from diffusing into the heating layer 3 under the action of an electric field, thereby enhancing the stability of the resistance of the heating layer 3 . In addition, the transition layer 2 can adjust the stress matching between the heating layer 3 and the surface of the porous substrate 1, enhance the adhesion between the heating layer 3 and the porous substrate 1, make the heating layer 3 firmly bonded to the porous substrate 1, and improve the heat generation. The stable and reliable working performance of layer 3 prolongs the service life of the atomizing core. In some embodiments, the thin film deposition process may be, but not limited to, a magnetron sputtering process in the thin film deposition process.

In some of the specific embodiments, the transition layer 2 is deposited and formed by the magnetron sputtering process, the target power density of the magnetron sputtering process is 3-12W/cm ² , the sputtering pressure is 0.1-0.5Pa, and the sputtering time is 20-100 min, and the thickness of the transition layer 2 is 0.1-1 μm. When the thickness of the transition layer 2 is too thin, the transition layer 2 cannot achieve the above-mentioned effect of reducing the roughness of the porous substrate 1 surface and blocking the sodium and potassium ions of the porous substrate 1 from diffusing into the heating layer 3 under the action of an electric field; As the thickness of the layer 2 increases, the transition layer 2 can gradually reduce the roughness of the surface of the porous substrate 1, gradually prevent the sodium and potassium ions of the porous substrate 1 from diffusing into the heating layer 3 under the action of an electric field, and gradually adjust the heating layer 3 and the surface of the porous substrate 1. However, when the thickness of the transition layer 2 is too thick, the stress of the transition layer 2 will increase significantly, causing the microstructure of the transition layer 2 to be destroyed during the electrification of the atomizing core, and the transition layer 2 cannot block the porous substrate The sodium and potassium ions in 1 diffuse into the heating layer 3 under the action of the electric field, which affects the stability of the resistance value of the heating layer 3 . Therefore, the thickness of the transition layer 2 is set to 0.1-1 μm, so that the transition layer 2 reduces the roughness of the surface of the porous substrate 1, so that the transition layer 2 prevents the sodium and potassium ions of the porous substrate 1 from diffusing into the heating layer 3 under the action of an electric field, The transition layer 2 adjusts the stress matching between the heating layer 3 and the surface of the porous substrate 1 . Preferably, the thickness of the transition layer 2 is set to 0.3-0.8 μm, which facilitates reducing the surface roughness of the porous substrate 1 and at the same time helps to block the diffusion of sodium and potassium ions in the porous substrate 1 into the heating layer 3 under the action of an electric field.

In some embodiments, the stress values of the transition layer 2 and the porous substrate 1 are close to each other, so that the stresses of the transition layer 2 and the porous substrate 1 are well matched. In some specific embodiments, the porous substrate 1 is porous ceramics, and the transition layer 2 is at least any one of aluminum nitride layer, silicon nitride layer, chromium nitride layer, chromium carbide layer or other ceramic layers.

Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 together. In some embodiments, the atomizing core further includes a protective layer 4 formed on the heat generating layer 3 . In a specific embodiment, the protection layer 4 with a thickness of 0.5-3 μm is deposited and formed on the side of the heating layer 3 facing away from the porous substrate 1 through a thin film deposition process. The protective layer 4 blocks the formation of the aerosol matrix and the outside air from entering the heating layer 3, so as to avoid oxidation or carbonization of the heating layer 3 during energization and use, enhance the oxidation resistance and carbonization resistance of the heating layer 3, and enhance the stability of the resistance of the heating layer 3 performance, improve the cycle life of the atomizing core. In some embodiments, the thin film deposition process may be, but not limited to, a magnetron sputtering process in the thin film deposition process. In some of the specific embodiments, the protective layer 4 is formed by depositing the magnetron sputtering process, the target power density of the magnetron sputtering process is 3-12W/cm ² , the sputtering pressure is 0.1-0.5Pa, and the sputtering time is 40-150 minutes. When the thickness of the protective layer 4 is too thin, the protective layer 4 cannot play the role of blocking the aerosol-forming matrix and the outside air from entering the heating layer 3; as the thickness of the protective layer 4 increases, the protective layer 4 can gradually block the aerosol-forming matrix And the outside air enters the heating layer 3; however, when the thickness of the protective layer 4 is too thick, the stress of the protective layer 4 will increase significantly, causing the microstructure of the protective layer 4 to be destroyed during the electrification of the atomizing core, and the protective layer 4 The aerosol-forming matrix and outside air cannot be blocked from entering the heating layer 3, which weakens the oxidation resistance and carbonization resistance of the heating layer 3, affects the stability of the resistance of the heating layer 3, and shortens the cycle life of the atomizing core. Based on the above considerations, the thickness of the protective layer 4 is set to 0.5-3 μm, so that the protective layer 4 blocks the aerosol-forming matrix and external air from entering the heating layer 3 . Preferably, the thickness of the protective layer 4 is set at 0.8-1.5 μm, which can well block the aerosol-forming substrate and external air from entering the heat-generating layer 3 .

The thinner the heating layer 3 is, the larger the resistance value is, and the thicker the heating layer 3 is, the smaller the resistance value is. The thickness of the heating layer 3 is adjusted and controlled to achieve the purpose of adjusting the resistance value of the heating layer 3 . At the same time, in the research and development process, through a large number of experiments, the utility model found that: when the thickness of the heating layer 3 is too thin, the heating layer 3 of the thin layer structure is relatively loose and the continuity is not good, which affects the stability of the resistance value of the heating layer 3 The heat generating layer 3 is relatively easy to be oxidized or carbonized at high temperature; the thicker the heat generating layer 3 is, the continuity and compactness of the heat generating layer 3 with a thin layer structure will also increase accordingly, making the heat generating layer 3 resistant to oxidation or carbonization The ability is greatly enhanced, thereby enhancing the stability of the resistance of the heating layer 3. However, when the thickness of the heat generating layer 3 is too thick, on the one hand, the formation time of the heat generating layer 3 is longer, thereby greatly reducing the production efficiency; The microstructure is destroyed, affecting the stability of the resistance value of the heating layer 3 . And considering that the resistance of the heating layer 3 is too low, there is a potential safety hazard of short circuit overload of the heating layer 3, and the resistance of the heating layer 3 is too high, there is a problem that the required heating power cannot be reached, so the common resistance of the heating layer 3 is 0.8 ~ 2Ω . Considering the influence of the thickness of the heating layer 3 on the stability of the resistance of the heating layer 3, and considering the positive correlation between the thickness of the heating layer 3 and the formation time, combined with the common resistance of the heating layer 3 being 0.8-2Ω, taking into account the above considerations, the heat generation Layer 3 is a nickel-chromium alloy layer, and the thickness of the nickel-chromium alloy layer is set to 1-5 μm, so that the resistance stability of the heating layer 3 is improved, the resistance of the heating layer 3 is within the common resistance range, and the formation time of the heating layer 3 is moderate , so that the resistance stability of the atomizing core is improved, the heating power of the atomizing core is larger, the atomizing effect of the atomizing core is good, and the manufacturing cost of the atomizing core is controllable. Specifically, the thin film deposition process may be, but not limited to, a magnetron sputtering process in the thin film deposition process. When the heating layer 3 is deposited by magnetron sputtering process, the heating layer 3 is a nickel-chromium alloy layer, the target power density of the magnetron sputtering process is 5-15W/cm ² , and the sputtering pressure is 0.1-0.3Pa. The injection time is 30-90 minutes. In this way, a nickel-chromium alloy layer with a thickness of 1-5 μm is deposited and formed on at least part of the atomized surface 11 of the porous substrate 1 by magnetron sputtering process, and the nickel-chromium alloy layer is the heating layer 3 .

In the step S3 of depositing the protective layer, a chemically stable and dense protective layer 4 with a thickness of 0.5-3 μm is deposited on the side of the heating layer 3 facing away from the porous substrate 1 by a thin film deposition process. The protective layer 4 blocks the formation of the aerosol matrix and the outside air from entering the heating layer 3, so as to avoid oxidation or carbonization of the heating layer 3 during energization and use, enhance the oxidation resistance and carbonization resistance of the heating layer 3, and enhance the stability of the resistance of the heating layer 3 performance, improve the cycle life of the atomizing core. In some embodiments, the thin film deposition process may be, but not limited to, a magnetron sputtering process in the thin film deposition process. In some of the specific embodiments, the protective layer 4 is formed by depositing the magnetron sputtering process, the target power density of the magnetron sputtering process is 3-12W/cm2, the sputtering pressure is 0.1-0.5Pa, and the sputtering time is 40～150min. When the thickness of the protective layer 4 is too thin, the protective layer 4 cannot play the role of blocking the aerosol-forming matrix and the outside air from entering the heating layer 3; as the thickness of the protective layer 4 increases, the protective layer 4 can gradually block the aerosol-forming matrix And the outside air enters the heating layer 3; however, when the thickness of the protective layer 4 is too thick, the stress of the protective layer 4 will increase significantly, causing the microstructure of the protective layer 4 to be destroyed during the electrification of the atomizing core, and the protective layer 4 The aerosol-forming matrix and outside air cannot be blocked from entering the heating layer 3, which weakens the oxidation resistance and carbonization resistance of the heating layer 3, affects the stability of the resistance of the heating layer 3, and shortens the cycle life of the atomizing core. Based on the above considerations, the thickness of the protective layer 4 is set to 0.5-3 μm, so that the protective layer 4 blocks the aerosol-forming matrix and external air from entering the heating layer 3 . Preferably, the thickness of the protective layer 4 is set at 0.8-1.5 μm, which can well block the aerosol-forming substrate and external air from entering the heat-generating layer 3 . Specifically, the protection layer 4 is at least any one of an aluminum oxide layer, a silicon oxide layer, an aluminum nitride layer, a silicon nitride layer, a titanium oxide layer, and a titanium nitride layer.

It can be understood that the above method for preparing the atomizing core mainly includes depositing a conductive material on at least part of the outer surface of the porous ceramic substrate by using a thin film deposition process, so as to form a heating layer on the porous ceramic substrate, and obtain a heating layer on the surface. atomizing core. In some embodiments, when the transition layer 2 and/or the protective layer 4 are not included, the corresponding film layer forming steps S1 and S3 can be correspondingly omitted.

In some other embodiments, the method for preparing the atomization core of the above-mentioned atomization core further includes:

Step S4: using the annealing and aging process to perform annealing heat treatment on the atomizing core.

In some of the embodiments, the method for preparing the atomization core of the above-mentioned atomization core further includes:

Step S5: adopting the energization aging process, supplying power to the atomizing core after the annealing heat treatment, and then heating the atomizing core after the annealing heat treatment, so as to perform aging treatment on the microstructure of the heating layer 3 .

In the above step S4, the annealing heat treatment is performed on the atomization core with the heating layer 3 by adopting an annealing aging process. The purpose of the annealing heat treatment is to eliminate the microscopic defects of the heat-generating layer 3, promote the grain growth in the micro-structure of the heat-generating layer 3, and make the heat-generating layer 3 more compact, thereby improving the stability of the resistance value of the atomizing core in the process of recycling, and then The heating power of the atomizing core is stable, the heating is uniform, and the atomization effect is good. Combined with the formation process of the heating layer 3 above, from the perspective of thermodynamic conditions, in a certain volume of the heating layer 3, the coarser the crystal grains in the heating layer 3, the smaller the total grain boundary surface area and the lower the total surface energy. Since the grain coarsening can reduce the surface energy, the heat generating layer 3 is in a relatively stable state with low free energy. To achieve a change trend towards a stable state with low free energy, it is necessary for the conductive material atoms to have a strong Diffusion ability to complete the grain boundary migration movement when the grain grows, and the high temperature annealing heat treatment makes it have this condition. Therefore, the annealing heat treatment of the atomizing core with the heat generating layer 3 can promote the growth of the crystal grains in the microstructure of the heat generating layer 3, making the heat generating layer 3 more dense, and improving the resistance of the heat generating layer 3 during energization and use. Stability, so as to improve the stability of the resistance of the atomizing core during energization and use.

In some specific embodiments, the annealing heat treatment temperature of the heat generating layer 3 of the atomizing core is 500-800° C., and the annealing heat treatment time is 5-60 minutes. In the above step S4, the annealing heat treatment process of the atomizing core is carried out in a protective gas atmosphere. Specifically, the atomizing core is placed in a tube furnace for annealing heat treatment. During the annealing heat treatment process of the atomizing core, the tube furnace is continuously filled with protective gas to prevent the heat generation layer 3 from forming during the annealing heat treatment process of the atomizing core. oxidation. The shielding gas can be, but is not limited to, nitrogen.

It can be understood that the above-mentioned transition layer 2 and protective layer 4 have the same change trend as that of the heat generating layer 3 during the annealing heat treatment. Specifically, from the perspective of thermodynamic conditions, in a certain volume of transition layer 2 or protective layer 4, the coarser the grains in the transition layer 2 or protective layer 4, the smaller the total grain boundary surface area and the lower the total surface energy . Since grain coarsening can reduce the surface energy, the transition layer 2 or protective layer 4 is in a relatively stable state with low free energy. To realize the change trend to a stable state with low free energy, conductive material atoms are required It has a strong diffusion ability to complete the migration movement of the grain boundary when the grain grows, and the high temperature annealing heat treatment makes it have this condition. Therefore, annealing the transition layer 2 or protective layer 4 of the atomization core can promote the grain growth in the microstructure of the transition layer 2 or protective layer 4, making the transition layer 2 or protective layer 4 denser, thereby improving The stability of the resistance value of the atomizing core during the cycle use.

In the above step S5, the atomization core after the annealing heat treatment is subjected to energization and aging treatment: the atomization core after the annealing heat treatment is powered, the atomization core after the annealing heat treatment is energized and then generates heat, and the microstructure of the heating layer 3 is subjected to aging treatment. aging treatment to enhance the electrical stability of the heat generating layer 3 . In some of the specific embodiments, under the atmospheric atmosphere, the heating layer 3 of the atomizing core is powered by a DC stabilized power supply, the power is 6-8W, and the power-on time is 1-20min. The purpose of performing the electrification aging treatment on the atomizing core is to improve the resistance stability of the atomizing core during electrification and use.

Compared with the prior art, the preparation method of the atomizing core in the first embodiment of the utility model adopts the annealing and aging process to perform annealing heat treatment on the heating layer 3 of the atomizing core, so that the crystal grains in the microstructure of the heating layer 3 grow , making the heating layer 3 denser and reducing the microscopic defects of the heating layer 3 ; then, performing an energization and heating treatment on the atomizing core after the annealing heat treatment, so as to perform further aging treatment on the microstructure of the heating layer 3 . In this way, after annealing heat treatment and energized aging treatment, the atomizing core can improve and increase the resistance stability of the heating layer 3, enhance the electrical stability of the heating layer 3, and then make the heating layer 3 generate more uniform heat, preventing the atomizing core from The phenomenon that the local temperature is too high can have a good atomization effect on the aerosol-forming substrate.

In addition, it is worth noting that in Embodiment 1 of the present utility model, the annealing heat treatment is first performed on the atomizing core with the heating layer 3 , and then the electrified aging treatment is performed on the annealing heat-treated atomizing core. The order of the above-mentioned processing cannot be changed. This is to simulate the real use atmosphere of the atomizing core. Because the electrification aging treatment is generally carried out in the atmosphere, and the annealing heat treatment is usually carried out in the protective gas atmosphere. If you first Conducting electrification aging treatment on the atomizing core will lead to poor stability of the protective layer 4 and cause the heating layer 3 to be oxidized or carbonized in the atmosphere, thereby affecting the service life of the heating layer 3 . Therefore, annealing heat treatment is first performed on the atomizing core with the heating layer 3 under the protective gas atmosphere, so that the grains of the internal structure of the heating layer 3 are coarsened to reduce the surface energy, so that the transition layer 2 and the heating layer on the atomizing core The layer 3 and the protective layer 4 are in a relatively stable state with low free energy, thereby making the transition layer 2, the heating layer 3 and the protective layer 4 denser, reducing the microscopic defects of the transition layer 2, the heating layer 3 and the protective layer 4, Improve the stability of transition layer 2, heat generating layer 3 and protective layer 4. On the one hand, after annealing heat treatment, the stable and dense transition layer 2 can prevent the sodium and potassium ions of the porous ceramic substrate 1 from diffusing into the heating layer 3 under the action of an electric field, further improving the resistance stability of the heating layer 3; on the other hand, After the annealing heat treatment, the stable and dense heating layer 3 can enhance the resistance stability of the heating layer 3; on the other hand, after the annealing heat treatment, the stable and dense protective layer 4 can make the heating layer 3 and the aerosol form a matrix and air Oxygen isolation in the heat-generating layer 3 improves the anti-oxidation performance and anti-carbonization performance of the heat-generating layer 3, thereby improving the resistance stability of the heat-generating layer 3. Then, conduct electrification aging treatment on the atomizing core with heating layer 3 under atmospheric atmosphere: perform aging treatment on the microstructure of transition layer 2, heating layer 3 and protective layer 4, and further improve the resistance stability of heating layer 3.

Experimental example

In order to make the above-mentioned implementation details and operations of the utility model clearly understood by those skilled in the art, and to significantly reflect the progressive performance of the atomizing core preparation method of the utility model, the following is a detailed experimental example of the atomizing core preparation method of the utility model The specific implementation process is illustrated with an example.

Experimental example 1

1) The silver-palladium metal paste is screen-printed on the porous substrate 1 by a screen-printing process, and the electrode 5 is formed after drying and sintering. Among them, the drying temperature of the electrode 5 is 80°C, the drying time of the electrode 5 is 20 minutes, and the sintering condition is to keep the temperature environment at 910°C for 20 minutes;

Using the same method as in Experimental Example 1, the cycle reliability test was carried out on the atomizing core S-5, and its resistance value was measured.

Correlative performance test of atomizing core:

The atomizing cores in Experimental Example 1 to Experimental Example 15 were subjected to cycle reliability tests respectively, and their resistance values were measured. The test results are shown in Table 1 below.

Table 1 The data table of the resistance value of the atomizing core cycle test in Experimental Example 1 to Experimental Example 15

It should be noted that the change resistance value of the total cycle in Table 1 refers to the difference between the resistance value of the test sample after the 3000th cycle test and the initial resistance value of the test sample, and the change resistance value of the total cycle in Table 1 refers to The ratio of the above-mentioned change resistance value of the test sample to the initial resistance value of the test sample. It can be understood that the smaller the change resistance value of the total cycle and/or the smaller the change resistivity of the total cycle, it can be judged that the change of the resistance value after the cycle test is reduced, and the resistance stability of the test sample in the cycle test is higher.

It should be noted that the cycle test data of atomizing core S-1 to atomizing core S-15 in Table 1 are the data obtained through the test of one test sample. Except atomizing core S-1 to atomizing core S-3, the initial resistance values are different because they have heat-generating layers 3 with different thicknesses. Among the other atomizing cores, before the cyclic test, the comparative example of controlling a single variation will select test samples with similar initial resistance values from multiple test samples in the same batch, for example: atomizing core S-4 to atomizing core S-6 is controlled as a single change in the thickness of the transition layer 2, and the test samples with relatively similar initial resistance values are selected from the multiple test samples of the atomizing core S-2 with the heating layer 3 thickness of 3 μm in the same batch.

Combining Figure 9, Figure 11 and Table 1, it can be seen that in the first 3000 cycles, the resistance value of the atomizing core S-1 in Experimental Example 1 changes very obviously, and the change resistance value of the cycle test reaches 1.21Ω, and the change resistance The rate reached 77.6%. The reason why the resistance value of the atomizing core S-1 in Experimental Example 1 changes significantly during the cycle test: on the one hand, it is because the sodium and potassium ions in the porous substrate 1 penetrate into the heating layer 3 under the action of the electric field under high temperature conditions, The microstructure of the heating layer 3 changes, and the sodium and potassium ions in the porous substrate 1 penetrate into the heating layer 3 under the action of the electric field; Oxygen in the air is carbonized or oxidized.

Combining Figure 9, Figure 11 and Table 1, it can be seen that the atomizing core S-1 in Experimental Example 1 has a thickness of heating layer 3 of 1 μm, and its initial resistance value is 1.56Ω, and the atomizing core in Experimental Example 2 S-2, the thickness of the heating layer 3 is 3 μm, and its initial resistance value is 1.25Ω, and the atomizing core S-3 in Experimental Example 3, the thickness of the heating layer 3 is 5 μm, and its initial resistance value is 1.07Ω , because the thickness of the heating layer 3 in Experimental Example 1 to Experimental Example 3 is different, the corresponding initial resistance value will also be different accordingly: the thicker the heating layer 3 is, the lower the initial resistance value is. In this way, the initial resistance value of the atomizing core can be adjusted by changing the thickness of the heating layer 3 .

Combining with Figure 11 and Table 1, it can also be seen that the atomizing core S-1 in Experimental Example 1 has a heat generating layer 3 with a thickness of 1 μm, a changing resistance value of 1.21Ω in a cycle test, and a changing resistivity of 77.6%. For the atomizing core S-2 in Experimental Example 2, the thickness of the heat-generating layer 3 is 3 μm, the changing resistance value of the cycle test is 0.67Ω, and the changing resistivity is 53.6%, and the atomizing core S-2 in Experimental Example 3 is 3. The thickness of the heating layer 3 is 5 μm, and the change resistance value of the cycle test is 0.54Ω, and the change resistance rate is 50.5%. Because the heat generation layer 3 has different thicknesses, the thicker the heat generation layer 3 is, the greater the thickness of the heat generation layer 3 is, the greater the thickness of the heat generation layer 3 after the cycle test. The resistance change is reduced. This is because the heating layer 3 is formed on the porous substrate 1 by thin film deposition. If the surface roughness of the porous substrate 1 is relatively large and the heating layer 3 is relatively thin, the heating layer 3 is discontinuous and loosely distributed. The heat generating layer 3 is easily oxidized or carbonized, which affects the stability of its resistance value. The thicker the heating layer 3 is, the distribution of the heating layer 3 is continuous and dense, which improves the oxidation resistance or carbonization resistance, thereby making the resistance value more stable.

Combining the test data in Figure 9, Figure 12 and Table 1, it can be seen that taking the atomizing core S-2 in Experimental Example 2 as a comparative example, the changing resistance value of the cycle test is 0.67Ω, and the changing resistivity is 53.6%. The changing resistance value of atomizing core S-4 in experimental example 4 is 0.53Ω, and the changing resistivity is 42.7%. The changing resistance value of atomizing core S-5 in experimental example 5 is 0.4Ω, changing The resistivity is 32.5%, and the changing resistance value of the atomizing core S-6 cycle test in Experimental Example 6 is 0.47Ω, and the changing resistivity is 37.9%. In the first 3000 cycle tests of the atomizing core, its resistance value The changes are all smaller than the resistance value of the atomizing core S-2 atomizing core in Experimental Example 2, indicating that the setting of the aluminum nitride transition layer 2 improves the resistance stability of the heating layer 3 of the atomizing core. This is because the aluminum nitride transition layer 2 can reduce the roughness of the surface of the porous substrate 1 and improve the continuity of the heat generating layer 3. At the same time, the aluminum nitride transition layer 2 can also block the penetration of sodium and potassium ions in the porous substrate 1 into the heat generating layer 3, The purpose of improving and enhancing the resistance stability of the heating layer 3 of the atomizing core is achieved.

Combining Figure 12 and Table 1, it can be seen that, taking the atomizing core S-2 in Experimental Example 2 as a comparative example, the changing resistance value of the cycle test is 0.67Ω, and the changing resistivity is 53.6%. Experimental Example 4 to Experimental Example Among atomizing core S-4, atomizing core S-5 and atomizing core S-6 in 6, the thickness of aluminum nitride transition layer 2 of atomizing core S-4 in experimental example 4 is 0.1 μm, and its cycle The tested variable resistance value was 0.53Ω, the variable resistivity was 42.7%, and the stability of the resistance value was improved; the thickness of the aluminum nitride transition layer 2 of the atomizing core S-5 in Experimental Example 5 was 0.5 μm, and the cycle test The variable resistance value is 0.4Ω, the variable resistivity is 32.5%, and the stability of the resistance value is further improved. The aluminum nitride transition layer 2 of the atomizing core S-6 in Experimental Example 6 has a thickness of 1 μm, and the change resistance value of the cycle test is 0.47Ω, and the change resistivity is 37.9%, and the stability of the resistance value decreases instead. This is because the aluminum nitride transition layer 2 can block sodium and potassium ions in the porous substrate 1 from penetrating into the heating layer 3 under an electric field. The aluminum nitride transition layer 2 is within a certain thickness range, and the thicker the thickness, the better the barrier effect. However, as the thickness of the aluminum nitride transition layer 2 increases to 1 μm, the stress of the aluminum nitride transition layer will increase significantly, causing the microstructure of the heating layer 3 to be destroyed during the cycle test, resulting in the resistance value of the atomizing core cycle test Stability decreased instead.

Combining the test data in Figure 9, Figure 13 and Table 1, it can be seen that, taking the atomizing core S-5 in Experimental Example 5 as a comparative example, the changing resistance value of the cycle test is 0.4Ω, and the changing resistivity is 32.5%. For atomizing core S-7 in Experimental Example 7, after 3000 cycles of testing, the changing resistance value of the cycle test is 0.34Ω, and the changing resistivity is 27%. For atomizing core S-8 in Experimental Example 8, after After 3000 cycle tests, the change resistance value of the cycle test is 0.24Ω, and the change resistance rate is 18.9%. For the atomizing core S-9 in Experimental Example 9, after 3000 cycle tests, the change resistance value of the cycle test is is 0.29Ω, and the change resistivity is 22.7%. The resistance value change of atomizing core S-7, atomizing core S-8 and atomizing core S-9 in Experimental Example 7 to Experimental Example 9 is obviously smaller than that of Experimental Example 5 The atomizing core S-5 in the middle is due to the setting of the aluminum oxide protective layer, which isolates the heating layer 3 from the aerosol forming matrix and the oxygen in the air, so as to avoid the influence of the heating layer 3 being carbonized and oxidized by high temperature during long-term use. The stability of the resistance value improves the resistance stability of the heating layer 3 of the atomizing core, and increases the cycle life of the atomizing core.

Combining Figure 13 and Table 1, it can be seen that, taking the atomizing core S-5 in Experimental Example 5 as a comparative example, the changing resistance value of the cycle test is 0.4Ω, and the changing resistivity is 32.5%. Experimental Example 7 to Experimental Example Among atomizing core S-7, atomizing core S-8 and atomizing core S-9 in 9, the aluminum oxide protective layer thickness of atomizing core S-7 in Experimental Example 7 is 0.5 μm, and the cycle test The changing resistance value is 0.34Ω, and the changing resistivity is 27%. The variable resistance value is 0.24Ω, and the variable resistivity is 18.9%, and the resistance value stability of the cycle test is further improved. The aluminum oxide protective layer of atomizing core S-9 in Experimental Example 9 has a thickness of 3 μm, and its resistance value in the cycle test is 0.29Ω, and the change resistivity is 22.7%. The stability of the resistance value in the cycle test decreases instead. This is because the aluminum oxide protective layer is within a certain thickness range, and the thicker the aluminum oxide protective layer is, the higher the density is, which can better isolate the heating layer 3 from the aerosol-forming matrix and oxygen in the air. However, as the thickness of the alumina protective layer increases to 3 μm, the stress of the alumina protective layer will increase significantly, resulting in the destruction of the microstructure of the alumina protective layer during the cycle test, resulting in the stability of the resistance value of the atomizing core cycle test Instead, it declined.

Combining the test data in Figure 9, Figure 14 and Table 1, it can be seen that taking the atomizing core S-8 in Experimental Example 8 as a comparative example, the changing resistance value of the cycle test is 0.24Ω, and the changing resistivity is 18.9%. For atomizing core S-10 in Experimental Example 10, after 3000 cycles of testing, the changing resistance value of the cycle test is 0.18Ω, and the changing resistivity is 13.5%. For atomizing core S-11 in Experimental Example 11, in After 3000 cycle tests, the change resistance value of the cycle test is 0.13Ω, and the change resistance rate is 9.7%. For the atomizing core S-12 in Experimental Example 12, after 3000 cycle tests, the change resistance value of the cycle test is is 0.21Ω, and the change resistivity is 15.4%. The change of the resistance value of atomizing core S-10, atomizing core S-11 and atomizing core S-12 in Experimental Example 10 to Experimental Example 12 is obviously smaller than that of Experimental Example 8 In the atomizing core S-8, this is because the annealing heat treatment can reduce the microscopic defects of the transition layer 2, the heating layer 3 and the protective layer 4, so that the crystal grains in the microstructure of the heating layer 3 grow up, and the heating layer 3 is made more Dense, so as to improve the stability of the heating layer 3 cycle test resistance of the atomizing core.

Combining the test data in Figure 14 and Table 1, it can be seen that, taking the atomizing core S-8 in Experimental Example 8 as a comparative example, the changing resistance value of the cycle test is 0.24Ω, and the changing resistivity is 18.9%. Experimental Example 10 Among the atomizing core S-10, atomizing core S-11 and atomizing core S-12 in Experimental Example 12, the changing resistance value of the atomizing core S-10 in Experimental Example 10 is 0.18Ω , the change resistivity is 13.5%, the resistance value stability of the cycle test of the atomizing core S-10 in Experimental Example 10, compared to the resistance value of the cycle test of the atomizing core S-8 without annealing heat treatment in Experimental Example 8 The stability has not been significantly improved. This is because the temperature of 500° C. is too low to reach the energy required for grain growth in the microstructure of the heating layer 3 . In Experimental Example 11, the annealing temperature was increased to 700°C. For the atomizing core S-11 in Experimental Example 11, the changing resistance value of the cycle test was 0.13Ω, and the changing resistivity was 9.7%. The atomizing core in Experimental Example 11 The resistance stability of the S-11 cycle test is significantly improved. However, as the annealing temperature was further increased to 800°C in Experimental Example 12, the changing resistance value of the atomizing core S-12 in Experimental Example 12 was 0.21Ω, and the changing resistivity was 15.4%. The resistance stability of the atomizing core S-12 cycle test decreases instead, because too high temperature will destroy the microstructure of the transition layer 2, heating layer 3 or protective layer 4, and affect the stability of the resistance of the heating layer 3 cycle test.

Combining the test data in Figure 9, Figure 15 and Table 1, it can be seen that, taking the atomizing core S-11 in Experimental Example 11 as a comparative example, the changing resistance value of the cycle test is 0.13Ω, and the changing resistivity is 9.7%. For atomizing core S-13 in Experimental Example 13, after 3000 cycles of testing, the changing resistance value of the cycle test is 0.1Ω, and the changing resistivity is 6.8%. For atomizing core S-14 in Experimental Example 14, in After 3000 cycle tests, the change resistance value of the cycle test is 0.07Ω, and the change resistance rate is 4.8%. The resistance value changes of atomizing core S-13 and atomizing core S-14 in Experimental Example 13 to Experimental Example 14 It is obviously smaller than the atomizing core S-11 in Experimental Example 11. This is because the energized heating aging treatment can improve the electrical stability of the heating layer 3 and achieve the purpose of improving and improving the stability of the high heating layer 3 cycle test resistance.

Combining the test data in Figure 10, Figure 15 and Table 1, it can be seen that, taking the atomizing core S-11 in Experimental Example 11 as a comparative example, the changing resistance value of the cycle test is 0.13Ω, and the changing resistivity is 9.7%. In the atomizing core S-13 in Experimental Example 13, the power of the heating and aging treatment was 5W, and the changing resistance value of the cycle test was 0.1Ω, and the changing resistivity was 6.8%. The atomizing core S in Experimental Example 13 The stability of the resistance value of the cycle test of -13 is not significantly improved compared with the stability of the resistance value of the cycle test of the non-annealed atomizing core S-11 in Experimental Example 11. This is because the power of the heating and aging treatment is too low, the heating value of the heating layer 3 is small, the microstructure of the heating layer 3 is improved slightly, and thus the stability of the resistance of the heating layer 3 is improved slightly. In the atomizing core S-14 in Experimental Example 14, the power of the energized heating aging treatment is 7W, the change resistance value of the cycle test is 0.07Ω, and the change resistivity is 4.8%, which can obviously improve the heating layer of the atomizing core. 3 Stability of cycle resistance. In the atomizing core S-15 in Experimental Example 15, the power of heating and aging treatment was increased to 9W, and the changing resistance value of the cycle test was 0.41Ω, and the changing resistivity was 27.7%. The heating layer of the atomizing core was 3 On the contrary, the stability of the cycle resistance decreased. This is because the power of the energization heating aging treatment is too high, the greater the heating value of the heating layer 3, the excessive heating value will destroy the microstructure of the heating layer 3, thereby reducing the stability of the resistance of the heating layer 3.

The above descriptions are only preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included in this utility model. within the scope of protection of utility models.
