- the distance between the first electrode 321 and the second electrode 322 is varied, specifically, the distance between them gradually decreases in the direction close to the first end 310; thereby increasing the current density on the first portion 311 of the heating element 31 in the direction close to the first end 310, which is beneficial for forming a temperature difference on the heating element 31.
- Figure 10 shows the temperature data of four temperature sampling points (A1/B1/C1/D1) along the axial direction of the heating element 31 in the first 11 seconds when the 12mm long heater 30 shown in Figures 2 and 3 is powered at 25W.

- the first electrode 321a and the second electrode 322a are bonded to the first part 311a and are relatively close to the first end 310a.
- the first electrode 321a and the second electrode 322a are electrically connected to the circuit board 20 by means of welding conductive leads, so that the circuit board 20 guides current on the first part 311a of the heating element 31a through the first electrode 321a and the second electrode 322a, as shown by arrow R2 in Figure 4.
- the first part 311a heats up through resistive Joule heating
- the second part 312a mainly heats up by receiving the heat transferred from the first part 311a, as shown by arrow R2 in Figure 4.
- the first electrode 321a and the second electrode 322a are stepped; in FIG4, the first electrode 321a and the second electrode 322a include two segments with different widths; specifically, the width of the first segment of the first electrode 321a and/or the second electrode 322a near the first end 310a is greater than the width of the second segment away from the first end 310a; thereby making the current density on the first part 311a of the heating element 31a greater on the side near the first end 310a.
- Figure 5 shows a schematic diagram of a heater 30b according to another embodiment; in this embodiment, the heater 30b includes:

- a first distance d31 is provided between the first electrode 321b and/or the second electrode 322b and the first end 310b, and a second distance d33 is provided between the first electrode 321b and/or the second electrode 322b and the second end 320b; the first distance d31 is smaller than the second distance d33.
- the first distance d31 is approximately 1 mm

- the first dimension or height dimension d32 is approximately 7 to 9 mm.
- the first electrode 321b and/or the second electrode 322b are trapezoidal in shape and have varying width dimensions, thereby causing the heating element 31b to have different current densities in the axial direction, resulting in a temperature difference in the axial direction during the first time phase.
- the first electrode 321b and/or the second electrode 322b are stepped in shape; the first electrode 321b and/or the second electrode 322b include a first segment located on a first portion 311a and a second segment located on a second portion 312a; both the first segment and the second segment are constant, and the width of the first segment is greater than the width of the second segment.
- Figure 6 shows a schematic diagram of a heater 30c according to another embodiment; in this embodiment, a first electrode 321c and a second electrode 322c extend from a first end 310c to a second end 320c of the heating element 31c; in this embodiment, current can be simultaneously guided on the first portion 311c and the second portion 312c of the heating element 31c through the first electrode 321c and the second electrode 322c, causing them to heat up through resistive Joule heating.
- the first electrode 321c and the second electrode 322c are trapezoidal in shape and have varying widths; thus, the current density on the first portion 311c is greater than the current density on the second portion 312c, resulting in faster heating in the first time phase.
- FIG. 7 shows a schematic diagram of a heater 30d according to another embodiment; in this embodiment, the heater 30d includes:
- a tubular heating element 31d extends between a first end 310d and a second end 320d; the heating element 31d includes a first portion 311d and a second portion 312d arranged continuously along the axial direction.
- the first electrode 321d and the second electrode 322d are formed or combined on the outer surface of the heating body 31d and are arranged opposite to each other along the radial direction of the heating body 31d.
- the first electrode 321d and the second electrode 322d are located in the first portion 311d, thereby guiding current only in the first portion 311d.
- the outer diameter of the heating element 31d is constant; the first portion 311d and the second portion 312d have different inner diameters.
- the wall thickness of the first portion 311d and the wall thickness of the second portion 312d are constant, and the wall thickness of the first portion 311d is greater than the wall thickness of the second portion 312d, thereby making the inner diameter of the second portion 312d greater than the inner diameter of the first portion 311d.
- the inner surface of the second portion 312d does not contact the outer surface of the aerosol generating article 1000 and forms a gap or opening d41, allowing the second portion 312d to heat the aerosol generating article 1000 primarily through the radiation of heat or infrared radiation from the ceramic material itself, rather than through contact heat conduction.
- This heating method where the heating body 31d heats different portions of the aerosol generating article 1000 in different ways, is advantageous for differentially or hierarchically stimulating volatile components.
- the gap or opening d41 is between 0.25 and 1.5 mm.
- the inner diameter of the first part 311d is 0.5 to 3.0 mm larger than the inner diameter of the second part 312d.
- Figure 11 shows the temperature data of four axial temperature sampling points (A2/B2/C2/D2) of the heating element 31d in the first 11 seconds when the 12mm long heater 30d shown in Figure 7 is powered at 25W.
- the interval between the four temperature sampling points is 2.5mm.
- Point A2 is close to the first end 310a and 2.0mm away from it
- point D2 is close to the second end 320a and 2.0mm away from it.
- the wall thickness of the second part 312d is thinner, so the rapid heat conduction at points C2 and D2 reduces the temperature difference between them.
- Figure 8 shows a schematic diagram of a heater 30e according to another embodiment; in this embodiment, the heater 30e includes:
- a tubular heating element 31e extends between a first end 310e and a second end 320e; the heating element 31e includes a first portion 311e and a second portion 312e arranged continuously along the axial direction.
- a first electrode 321e and a second electrode 322e are formed or bonded to the outer surface of the heating element 31e and are arranged opposite to each other in the radial direction of the heating element 31e.
- the first electrode 321e and the second electrode 322e are located in the first portion 311e, thereby guiding current only in the first portion 311e.
- the outer diameter of the heating element 31e is constant, while the inner diameter gradually changes. Specifically, the inner diameter of the heating element 31e gradually decreases along the direction near the first end 310e, thereby making the inner surface of the heating element 31e inclined. Thus, the inner diameter of the first portion 311e is smaller than the inner diameter of the second portion 312e.
- FIG. 9 shows a schematic diagram of a heater 30f according to another embodiment, in which the heater 30e includes:
- a tubular heating element 31f extends between a first end 310f and a second end 320f; the heating element 31f includes a first portion 311f and a second portion 312f arranged continuously along the axial direction;
- the first electrode 321f and the second electrode 322f are formed or combined on the outer surface of the heating body 31f and are arranged opposite to each other along the radial direction of the heating body 31f.
- At least one or more thermal barriers 313f are arranged on the heating element 31f between the first part 311f and the second part 312f; the thermal barriers 313f are used to reduce the transfer of heat from the first part 311f to the second part 312f. Therefore, in use, because the heating element 31f has a relatively high thermal conductivity, the temperature on the first part 311f is greater than the temperature on the second part 312f, and the temperature fields of the first part 311f and the second part 312f are substantially uniform or the same.
- the thermal barrier 313f may be a groove or perforation formed on the outer surface of the heating element 31f to reduce heat transfer.

在一些实施例中,第一电极321和/或第二电极322包括电极环、电极帽、电极片、轨道电极或电极涂层中的至少一种。在一些实施例中,第一电极321和/或第二电极322是由低电阻率的金属或合金制备的。例如,第一电极321和/或第二电极322包括金、银、铜或含有它们中至少一种的合金。在一些实施例中,第一电极321和/或第二电极322是通过将含有以上低电阻率的金属或合金的导电浆料印刷或喷涂或沉积等形成于加热体31的外表面后固化获得。例如,第一电极321和/或第二电极322是通过将导电银浆印刷于加热体31的外表面后固化获得。
根据图2和图3所示,第一电极321和/或第二电极322是靠近第一端310布置;以及,第一电极321和/或第二电极322是远离第二端320的。在一些实施例中,第一电极321和/或第二电极322位于加热体31的第一部分311、且避开第二部分312。第二部分312上没有用于在其上引导电流的电极。
在一些实施例中,第一电极321和/或第二电极322与第一端310具有第一间距d21。以及,第一间距d21小于第一电极321和/或第二电极322与第二端320的第二间距d23。在图2和图3中,第一电极321和/或第二电极322与第二端320的第二间距d23,大于等于加热体31的轴向长度的1/2。在一些实施例中,第一电极321和/或第二电极322具有沿加热器30的轴向方向的第一尺寸或高度尺寸d22。在一些实施例中,第一间距d21小于第一尺寸或高度尺寸d22。在一些实施例中,第一间距d21介于0.5~2.0mm;第一尺寸或高度尺寸d22介于1~4mm。在一些可选的实施例中,第一间距d21大约为1mm;第一尺寸或高度尺寸d22大约为2mm。
根据图2和图3所示,第一电极321和/或第二电极322具有沿加热器30的周向方向的第二尺寸或宽度尺寸d24。第二尺寸或宽度尺寸d24是大于第一尺寸或高度尺寸d22的。在一些可选的实施例中,第二尺寸或宽度尺寸d24大约介于5~11mm。
在实施例中,第一电极321和第二电极322分别通过焊接导电引线等,电连接至电路板20;从而在使用中,电路板20能可操作地将第一电极321和第二电极322分别与电芯10的正/负极连接导通,从而在加热体31上引导电流。
根据图3中所示,当通过第一电极321和第二电极322对加热体31供电时,在加热体31上形成从第一电极321流向第二电极322的电流i1。在工作中,电流i1基本是在加热体31的周向上的电流。在实施例中,电流i1主要是位于或形成于加热体31的第一部分311的,第二部分312基本上是没有电流的。
在一些实施例中,第一尺寸或高度尺寸d22小于加热体31的轴向长度的1/4,对于增大或扩大第一部分311和第二部分312的温差是有利的。
在使用中,当通过第一电极321和第二电极322对加热体31供电时,加热体31的第一部分311通过电阻焦耳热而发热。第二部分312自身基本不产生热量,而是如图3中箭头R1所示通过接收第一部分311传递的热量而发热。
在一些实施例中,电路板20上的电路被配置为按照预定的加热曲线控制对加热体31提供功率,从而使加热体31按照预定的加热曲线对气溶胶生成制品1000进行加热。例如申请人在中国专利CN112335940A等中提供了多种关于预定时间的加热曲线的内容细节,上述文献全文以参见的方式纳入本文。
在通过第一电极321和第二电极322对加热体31供电的加热过程中,第一部分311和第二部分312的温度变化情况包括:
第一时间阶段或预热阶段,使第一部分311从室温升高到预定温度;在该第一时间阶段中,由于第二部分312仅能通过接收第一部分311传递的热量而发热,则第一部分311的温度大于第二部分312的温度;
第二时间阶段或加热阶段,使第一部分311保持在预定的温度区间内进行加热;在该第二时间阶段中,由于加热体31具有上述提高的导热系数,第二部分312较快地接收传导的热量进而与第一部分311的温度基本是相同或相近的。
根据图2和图3中所示,第一电极321和第二电极322被布置成是梯形的形状,而非常规的圆形或方形的形状。在加热器30的轴向方向上,第一电极321和/或第二电极322的第二尺寸或宽度尺寸d24是变化的。例如在图2和图3中,第一电极321和/或第二电极322的第二尺寸或宽度尺寸d24,沿靠近第一端310的方向逐渐增大。第一电极321和/或第二电极322靠近第一端310的第一区段的宽度,大于靠近第二端320的第二区段的宽度。
在实施例中,第一电极321和第二电极322之间的间距是变化的,具体地它们之间的间距沿靠近第一端310的方向逐渐减小;从而使加热体31的第一部分311上的电流密度沿靠近第一端310的方向增大,对于在加热体31上形成温差是有利的。
例如图10中示出了一个实施例中对图2和图3中所示的12mm长的加热器30以25W的功率供电时,依次对加热体31在轴向上的4个温度采样点(A1点/B1点/C1点/D1点)在前11s的温度数据;其中,4个温度采样点相邻之间的间隔距离为2.5mm,其中,A1点靠近第一端310并与第一端310间隔2.0mm,D1点靠近第二端320并与第二端320间隔2.0mm。在前11s的升温过程中,靠近第一端310的A1点/B1点升温相对更快。

在该实施例中,第一电极321a和第二电极322a是阶梯形;在图4中,第一电极321a和第二电极322a包括宽度不同的两个区段;具体地,第一电极321a和/或第二电极322a靠近第一端310a的第一区段的宽度,大于远离第一端310a的第二区段的宽度;从而使加热体31a的第一部分311a上的电流密度在靠近第一端310a的一侧更大。
或者图5示出了又一个实施例的加热器30b的示意图;在该实施例中,加热器30b包括:
在第一端310b和第二端320b之间延伸的管状的加热体31b;加热体31b包括沿轴向连续地布置的第一部分311b和第二部分312b;
第一电极321b和第二电极322b,形成或结合于加热体31b的外表面上,并且沿加热体31b的径向方向相背地布置;
在该实施例中,第一电极321b和第二电极322b在加热体31b上具有更长的延伸尺寸;第一电极321b和第二电极322b从第一部分311b延伸至第二部分312b上。
在该实施例中,第一电极321b和/或第二电极322b与第一端310b之间具有第一间距d31,第一电极321b和/或第二电极322b与第二端320b之间具有第二间距d33;第一间距d31小于第二间距d33。例如在一些具体的实施例中,第一间距d31大约为1mm,第二间距d33大约介于2~4mm。
在该实施例中,第一电极321b和/或第二电极322b具有沿加热体31b的轴向延伸的第一尺寸或高度尺寸d32。在该实施例中,第一尺寸或高度尺寸d32大于加热体31b的轴向长度的1/2。例如在一些具体的实施例中,第一尺寸或高度尺寸d32大约为7~9mm。
在该实施例中,第一电极321b和/或第二电极322b是梯形的形状,并且具有变化的宽度尺寸,从而使加热体31b在轴向上具有差异的电流密度,从而在第一时间阶段中轴向上具有温差。或者在又一些变化的实施例中,第一电极321b和/或第二电极322b是阶梯形的形状;第一电极321b和/或第二电极322b包括位于第一部分311a上的第一区段、以及位于第二部分312a上的第二区段;第一区段和第二区段均是恒定的,以及第一区段的宽度大于第二区段的宽度。
或者图6中示出了又一个实施例的加热器30c的示意图;在该实施例中,第一电极321c和第二电极322c从加热体31c的第一端310c延伸至第二端320c;在该实施例中,通过第一电极321c和第二电极322c能同时在加热体31c的第一部分311c和第二部分312c上引导电流,使它们通过电阻焦耳热而发热。以及,第一电极321c和第二电极322c是梯形的形状,并具有变化的宽度;从而使第一部分311c的电流密度大于第二部分312c上的电流密度,从而在第一时间阶段升温更快。
图7示出了又一个实施例的加热器30d的示意图;在该实施例中,加热器30d包括:
在第一端310d和第二端320d之间延伸的管状的加热体31d;加热体31d包括沿轴向连续地布置的第一部分311d和第二部分312d;
第一电极321d和第二电极322d,形成或结合于加热体31d的外表面上,并且沿加热体31d的径向方向相背地布置。
在该实施例中,第一电极321d和第二电极322d位于第一部分311d,进而仅在第一部分311d上引导电流。
在该实施例中,加热体31d的外径是恒定的;第一部分311d和第二部分312d具有不同的内径。具体地,第一部分311d的管壁厚度和第二部分312d的管壁厚度是恒定的,且第一部分311d的管壁厚度大于第二部分312d的管壁厚度,从而使第二部分312d的内径大于第一部分311d的内径。当气溶胶生成制品1000被接收于加热体31d内被加热时,气溶胶生成制品1000的外表面是抵靠或结合于第一部分311d的内表面的,从而使第一部分311d能主要地通过接触导热的方式加热气溶胶生成制品1000;而第二部分312d的内表面与气溶胶生成制品1000的外表面是不接触的,并形成有缝隙或间隙d41,从而第二部分312d主要地通过陶瓷材料自身辐射热量或辐射红外的方式加热气溶胶生成制品1000,而非接触导热的方式进行加热。此类加热方式,加热体31d对气溶胶生成制品1000的不同部分以不同的方式进行加热,对于差异地或分层次地激发可挥发成分是有利的。在一些实施例中,缝隙或间隙d41介于0.25~1.5mm。或者,第一部分311d的内径,比第二部分312d内径大0.5~3.0mm。
例如图11中示出了一个实施例中对图7中所示的12mm长的加热器30d以25W的功率供电时,依次对加热体31d在轴向上的4个温度采样点(A2点/B2点/C2点/D2点)在前11s的温度数据;其中,4个温度采样点相邻之间的间隔距离为2.5mm,其中,A2点靠近第一端310a并与第一端310a间隔2.0mm,D2点靠近第二端320a并与第二端320a间隔2.0mm。从图11中可以看出,相比图10中内径恒定的加热器30,第二部分312d的管壁厚度更薄从而C2点和D2点快速导热使它们之间的温差有所缩小。
或者图8示出了又一个实施例的加热器30e的示意图;在该实施例中,加热器30e包括:
在第一端310e和第二端320e之间延伸的管状的加热体31e;加热体31e包括沿轴向连续地布置的第一部分311e和第二部分312e;
第一电极321e和第二电极322e,形成或结合于加热体31e的外表面上,并且沿加热体31e的径向方向相背地布置。在该实施例中,第一电极321e和第二电极322e位于第一部分311e,进而仅在第一部分311e上引导电流。
在该实施例中,加热体31e的外径是恒定的、内径是逐渐变化的。具体地,加热体31e的内径沿靠近第一端310e的方向逐渐减小,从而加热体31e的内表面是倾斜的。从而第一部分311e的内径小于第二部分312e的内径。当气溶胶生成制品1000被接收于加热体31e内被加热时,第一部分311e的部分通过接触导热、部分通过辐射的方式加热气溶胶生成制品1000。
图9示出了又一个实施例的加热器30f的示意图,在该实施例中,加热器30e包括:
在第一端310f和第二端320f之间延伸的管状的加热体31f;加热体31f包括沿轴向连续地布置的第一部分311f和第二部分312f;
第一电极321f和第二电极322f,形成或结合于加热体31f的外表面上,并且沿加热体31f的径向方向相背地布置。
在该实施例中,加热体31f上布置有至少一个或多个位于第一部分311f和第二部分312f之间的热障313f;热障313f用于减少第一部分311f的热量向第二部分312f的传递。进而在使用中,由于加热体31f具有相对高的导热系数,则第一部分311f上的温度大于第二部分312f上的温度,且第一部分311f和第二部分312f它们各自的温场基本是均匀或相同的。
在一些实施例中,热障313f可以是形成于加热体31f外表面上的凹槽或镂空等,以减少热量传递。
需要说明的是,本申请的说明书及其附图中给出了本申请的较佳的实施例,但并不限于本说明书所描述的实施例,进一步地,对本领域普通技术人员来说,可以根据上述说明加以改进或变换,而所有这些改进和变换都应属于本申请所附权利要求的保护范围。
