在一些实施例中,该导体柱121、导体盘123、探针装置122以及外导体单元11共轴设置。探针装置122作为独立的结构,可抽离/插入导体盘123中。
导体柱121可采用可导电的金属材料一体制成,优选铝合金或铜。在另一些实施例中,导体柱121可以是外体部211导电,比如在外周面镀覆第二导电涂层,优选镀覆银涂层或者金涂层。
导体盘123可采用可导电的金属材料一体制成,优选铝合金或铜。在另一些实施例中,导体柱121可以是外体部211导电,比如在外周面镀覆第三导电涂层,优选镀覆银涂层或者金涂层。
探针装置122整体呈纵长的杆状结构,其一端从该导体柱121的顶端端面插入并嵌置于该导体柱121的内部,以与导体柱121欧姆接触;其另一端悬空于加热腔13中,可作为内导体单元12的第二端。气溶胶生成基质200伸入加热腔13中时可套设于探针装置122的外周,微波能够经由导体柱121传导给探针装置122,并作用于气溶胶生成基质200,实现微波加热的效果。
如图5示出了在实施例1-2中的内导体单元12,该实施例与上述的实施例1-2的区别在于,该实施例中还包括与导体柱121欧姆接触或者一体成型的环形导体盘124。
该环形导体盘124设于导体盘123的下方,且环绕在导体柱121的外周壁。环形导体盘124的数量可以是一个或者多个;在环形导体盘124的数量为一个时,环形导体盘124间隔地排布在导体盘123的下方。当环形导体盘124的数量为多个时,多个环形导体盘124位于导体盘123的下方、沿导体柱121的轴向间隔排布在导体柱121的外周壁。
导体盘123和环形导体盘124、和/或多个环形导体盘124之间的尺寸和厚度可以不一样,具体可根据实际情况进行调整。
如图9示出了在实施例1-3中的内导体单元12,该实施例与实施例1-1相比,区别在于,在导体柱121的顶端取消了导体盘123,并改为通过导体柱121的顶端端面抵接第一端面201。其中,导体柱121的底端抵接于外导体单元11的第一端壁112上,且导体柱121的顶端朝向开口端设置,可在气溶胶生成基质200伸入加热腔13时抵接气溶胶生成基质200的第一端面201。导体柱121 的顶端端面呈高低不平的面结构,具体结构可参考实施例1-1中顶端盘面的结构,在这不做具体赘述。可以理解地,导体盘123的设计是用于增加自身电感以及电容,从而使得气溶胶产生装置100的整体尺寸进一步地缩小。没有导体盘123也可以实现微波加热。
探针装置122的一端居中地插入该导体柱121的顶端端面,并嵌置于导体柱121的内部,使得探针装置122与导体柱121形成良好的欧姆接触;该探针装置122的另一端悬空于加热腔13中。
如图10示出了在实施例1-4中的内导体单元12,该实施例与实施例1-3相比,区别在于,导体柱121的顶端端面为平面结构。可以理解地,导体柱121顶端的直径小于第一端面201的直径时,可不设置凸起部1261或者凹槽1271;直接将导体柱121的顶端端面作为与第一端面201相抵的表面。导体柱121的顶端与第一端面201形成朝下的台阶,从而形成进气间隙128。
如图11示出了在实施例1-5中的内导体单元12,该实施例与实施例1-4相比,区别在于,导体柱121与气溶胶生成基质200各自的中轴线并非位于同一直线。可以理解地,第一端面201与导体柱121的顶端端面部分错开,形成朝下的台阶,从而形成进气间隙128。
综上,内导体单元12被配置为用于抵接气溶胶生成基质200;同时,通过设置凸起部1261和/或凹槽1271、设置内导体单元12中用于抵接气溶胶生成基质200的表面的直径小于第一端面201、设置表面与第一端面201部分错开设置等等的手段,避免第一端面201被完全覆盖,从而形成出进气间隙128。
如图2所示,探针装置122在一些实施例中可包括呈纵长的、且为实心结构的探针1221;探针1221用于调节微波场分布及最佳微波馈入频率。探针1221的外表面可导电设置,其底端嵌置于导体柱121和/或导体盘123中,以与导 体柱121和/或导体盘123形成良好的欧姆接触,其顶端悬空于加热腔13中,且该顶端的形状可以是平顶、球形、椭球形、圆锥形、圆台形等。
可以理解地,通过优化中空探针1221的顶部的形状,可以增强微波场局部场强,提升雾化气溶胶生成基质200的雾化速度;其中当中空探针1221的顶部为圆台形时,效果最佳。
在另一些实施例中,探针1221呈中空结构,在探针1221内设有测温组件,该测温组件用于在气溶胶生成基质200插入中空探针1221时,监测气溶胶生成基质200内部的温度。可选地,测温组件可为温度传感器,比如测温热电偶。
探针1221可采用金属等导电材料制成,优选不锈钢、铝合金或者铜作为导电材料。在其他一些实施例中,探针1221也可以是非导电材料表面(耐高温塑料、陶瓷等)镀有第四导电涂层;该第四导电涂层的材料可包括金、银、铜、铝、导电金属氧化物、或者导电高分子;其中,导电金属氧化物包括ITO、AZO、AGZO、FTO材料;优选第四导电涂层为金或银。
如图2、图3所示,固定座2在一些实施例中可包括固定主体21以及设于固定主体21内的中空通道22。
固定主体21设置在外导体单元11的开口端处,远离微波场设置。
可以理解地,一同参照表格1、表格2;表格1示出了相关技术中设有收容部(收容部采用Peek材料制成)的气溶胶产生装置100,在不同温度下的谐振频率变化,以及在不同温度下气溶胶生成基质200的吸收微波情况;表格2示出了本发明中固定座2远离微波场设置后的气溶胶产生装置100在不同温度下的谐振频率变化,以及在不同温度下气溶胶生成基质200的吸收微波情况。
可以看出,在相关技术中,收容部与气溶胶生成基质200之间存在竞争吸 收微波的关系。随着加热和抽吸过程的进行,气溶胶生成基质200的介电损耗能力变弱,而,收容部却无明显变化;因此在加热的后半程,,收容部会吸收更多的微波能量,进而降低微波加热气溶胶生成基质200的效果。因此,需要尽量确保在微波场中只存在有被加热的气溶胶生成基质200,避免存在其他损耗微波的吸波部件;从而使到进入加热腔13的微博能够充分地被气溶胶生成基质200吸收,提升气溶胶生成基质200的碳化效果。
表格1
表格2
固定主体21可包括设于外导体单元11外的外体部211、以及与外体部211一体连接、设于外导体单元11内的内体部212;该外体部211和内体部212分别呈圆筒状,且外体部211的外径大于内体部212的外径,使得外体部211与内体部212之间形成台阶。内体部212的外径小于外导体单元11的内径,其可嵌入于外导体单元11中,以将固定座2装于外导体单元11的开口端上;且台阶可抵接外导体单元11的开口端,避免固定座2过分嵌入在外导体单元11内。
中空通道22可沿固定主体21的轴向贯穿成形,且与加热腔13相连通;气溶胶生成基质200可通过中空通道22伸入至加热腔13中。
固定座2在一些实施例中还包括若干纵长的定位筋213。该些定位筋213间隔均匀地设置于中空通道22的壁面轴向上。每一定位筋213均沿着平行于固定座2的轴线的方向延伸。可以理解地,该些定位筋213一个方面可用于夹紧穿过中空通道22的气溶胶生成基质200,另一个方面每相邻的两定位筋213之间,均可形成一个纵向延伸的进气通道,以方便位于外导体单元11外的环境空气被吸入到气溶胶生成基质200的底部,再进入气溶胶生成基质200中,从而带走被微波加热产生的气溶胶。
制成固定座2的材质可包括高分子材料、陶瓷材料、金属或者玻璃材料。高分子材料包括聚四氟乙烯(PTFE)、聚醚醚酮(PEEK)、ppsu、pc、ABS、pp材料;陶瓷材料包括氧化铝、氧化锆。其中,固定座2优选成本低、导热系数低的高分子材料制成。
再如图2所示,微波馈入装置3在一些实施例中可为同轴连接器,可与设于外导体单元11外部的微波源(未图示)相连接,以将微波馈入腔体。
具体地,图3示出了在一些实施例中的微波馈入装置3,其包括内导体31、 外导体33以及介于内导体31和外导体33之间的介质层32。微波馈入装置3安装于微波加热器1上时,其内导体31与外导体单元11的内壁面和/或内导体单元12的导体柱121的外表面欧姆接触,且其外导体33与外导体单元11的表面欧姆接触,以向微波加热器1内馈入微波。
在该实施例中,微波馈入装置3的内导体31呈一字型,微波馈入装置3安装于微波加热器1上时,内导体31与导体柱121的表面欧姆接触,且与导体柱121的轴线相垂直。
图6示出了在另一些实施例中的微波馈入装置3,其与上述气溶胶产生装置100的结构基本相同,两者的区别在于用第二微波馈入装置3a替代了上述的微波馈入装置3。
如图6所示,第二微波馈入装置3a可为同轴连接器,其可包括第二内导体31a、第二外导体33a以及介于第二内导体31a和第二外导体33a之间的第二介质层32a。第二微波馈入装置3a安装于微波加热器1上时,其第二内导体31a与外导体单元11的内壁面欧姆接触,且其第二外导体33a与外导体单元11的表面欧姆接触,以向微波加热器1内馈入微波。
第二微波馈入装置3a的第二内导体31a在该实施例中呈L型,其可包括一个垂直于微波加热器轴线的第一段311a和平行于微波加热器轴线的第二段312a,第二段312a与外导体单元11的第一端壁112欧姆接触。
进一步地,内导体31和/或第二内导体31a在一些实施例中可采用金属等导电材料制成,优选铝或者铜作为导电材料。在其他一些实施例中,内导体31和/或第二内导体31a也可以由非导电材料制成,但需要在其外壁面涂覆第五导电涂层形成,该第五导电涂层为镀金属薄膜层,如镀金层、镀银层、镀铜层等等。此外,在一些实施例中,内导体31和/或第二内导体31a可以是耦合 环,耦合环的外体部211呈同轴结构,可与微波源相连接,以将微波馈入腔体。
可以理解地,结合上述对于微波加热器1及其加热腔13的设计,在气溶胶生成基质200装于气溶胶产生装置100时,谐振频率可达到在2.4-2.5GHz的范围区间内。
可以理解的,以上实施例仅表达了本发明的优选实施方式,其描述较为具体和详细,但并不能因此而理解为对本发明专利范围的限制;应当指出的是,对于本领域的普通技术人员来说,在不脱离本发明构思的前提下,可以对上述技术特点进行自由组合,还可以做出若干变形和改进,这些都属于本发明的保护范围;因此,凡跟本发明权利要求范围所做的等同变换与修饰,均应属于本发明权利要求的涵盖范围。
