Smoking products such as cigarettes and cigars produce smoke by burning tobaccos during use, while the smoke produced by burning of the tobaccos contains many harmful substances, like tar, and inhalation of these harmful substances for a long term will cause great harm to the human body. With the progress of science and technology and continuous pursuit of a healthy life by people, a cigarette substitute, namely a heat not burn product, has emerged. Among them, a typical heat not burn scheme is to release effective substances in the smoking products in the heat-not-burn mode, like nicotine.
The heat not burn product mainly uses a working principle of low-temperature heating to heat the smoking products to about 300° C., thereby baking out effective ingredients like the nicotine in the smoking products. Because the burning temperature is not reached, the harmful substances like the tar in the smoking products are greatly reduced.
In the related art, the heat not burn product generally adopts a contact heating scheme to bake the smoking products, for example, a sword-shaped needle-shaped heating element is inserted into the smoking products for heating. However, the contact heating scheme has the shortcoming of uneven heating, that is, the part in direct contact with the heating element has a higher temperature, while the part far away from the heating element has rapid temperature decrease. Therefore, only the part of the tobacco close to the heating element can be completely baked, leading to the fact that the cut tobacco in the smoking products cannot be completely baked, and not only the cut tobacco is wasted, but also the smoke volume is wasted. If the baking efficiency is improved by increasing the temperature of the heating element, the cut tobacco around the heating element can be easily burnt, which not only affects the taste, but even leads to a large increase in the harmful ingredients and affects physical health.
The present invention is made based on knowledge and research of the inventor on the following issues:
In the working process of a heat-not-burn product, due to the fact that the contact heating scheme has the shortcoming of uneven heating, the smoking products cannot be completely baked, and not only the cut tobacco is wasted greatly, but also the smoke volume is insufficient.
For this purpose, after a lot of research and experiments, the inventor finds that the smoking process itself is an air flow process. If the air flowing into the smoking products has the higher temperature, the hot air can play a direct role in baking the smoking products. Since the hot air can penetrate and bake all the tobacco of the smoking products with the smoking process, the problem of uneven heating can be effectively solved. Therefore, the smoking product is baked by heating the air and then using the hot air flow during the smoking process to achieve heating, and this scheme can achieve good overall heating effect.

The embodiments of the invention will be described in detail below, examples of the embodiments are shown in drawings, wherein same or similar mark numbers indicate identical or similar components or components having same or similar functions. The embodiments described with reference to the drawings below are illustrative and intended to explain the present invention and cannot be construed as limiting the present invention.
In order to better understand the above technical scheme, the illustrative embodiments of the present invention are described in more detail with reference to the drawings below. Although the drawings show the illustrative embodiments of the present invention, it should be understood that the present invention can be achieved in various forms without being limited by the embodiments illustrated. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to understand the present invention more thoroughly, and can convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art completely.
In order to better understand the above technical scheme, the above technical scheme will be described in detail in combination with the specification drawings and the specific embodiments below.
First, after a lot of research and experiments, the inventor of the present invention finds that the heating scheme of heating the air and utilizing the hot air to bake the smoking product in the smoking process is better in heating effect on the whole.
However, when the air heating scheme is adopted, first it is necessary to select a suitable heating element to heat the air, and when the heating element heats the air, room temperature air needs to enter the heating element, and the temperature of air should reach 300° C. or above after flowing out of the heating element; second, some general smoking habits have to be considered, that is, about 20 ml per second must be ensured during temperature rise, and each puff lasts for about 3 seconds, and the heating element needs a total heating efficiency of about 60 ml air.
To achieve the above effect, the inventor has learned through a lot of experiments that when a heating wire is used to heat the air, the heating wire should have high temperature, and only when the temperature of the heating wire is up to 600° C. or above, it can heat the air flowing through to more than 300° C., and the heating wire will cool quickly as long as air flows by, in this way, each puff of smoking will make the temperature of the heating wire drop by 200-300° C. Therefore, the heating wire needs power compensation during smoking, otherwise it may be difficult to guarantee air heating required for smoking; while, power compensation is performed for the heating wire based on the air flow detected by an air flow sensor, due to small contact area between heating wire and air, this power compensation scheme not only needs high power to achieve the required heating effect, but also has the problem of inaccurate gas temperature after heating, untimely compensation response, which may cause uneven temperature in all directions.
In addition, when the flow air is heated to above 300° C. by increasing the temperature of a heater strip, metal ions separated from the heater strip may be mixed into the smoking airflow and enter the human body to do harm to the body health due to temperature increase of the heater strip and direct contact of the heater strip with the air.
For the above, the inventor of the present invention has concluded through a lot of research that when air heating is used to bake a smoking product, the heating element used to heat the air needs to have a large heating area so as to reduce the temperature difference between the heating element and the air; the heating element also needs high heat capacity to resist against the temperature drop caused after the smoking airflow passes, and high thermal conductivity to reduce the heating preparation time.
For this purpose, the applicant finds based on in-depth research on ceramics for years that a larger heating surface area can be obtained by designing a porous structure of the honeycomb ceramics, so that the heating element will have a high air heating efficiency, and the honeycomb ceramic heating element of porous structure is closer to a solid structure and has a higher heat capacity than a ceramic tube of the same size; in addition, the thermal conductivity of alumina material is greater than 30 W/MK, which can make the heat conduction faster and more uniformly, thereby obtaining high thermal conductivity. Therefore, the honeycomb ceramic heating element of porous structure can meet the requirement of baking the smoking product by heating air.
A ceramic heating element, a heating control method for the ceramic heating element in a non-contact heat not burn heating device, a heating control device for the ceramic heating element in the non-contact heat not burn heating device and the non-contact heat not burn heating device of the embodiment of the present invention are described below with reference to the drawings.
As shown in
Wherein, the heating body 11 is cylindrical, and the heating body 11 is internally provided with a porous channel 101; and the heating circuit 12 is arranged on the heating body 11 to heat air passing through the porous channel 101.
That is, the heating circuit 12 performs heating work after powered on to heat the air passing through the porous channel 101 to achieve the function of even heating of the air.
Optionally, the heating body 11 can be cylindrical and can also be in the shape of a polygonal cylinder, such as in the shape of a prism, a square column, a pentagonal column, etc. This is not specifically limited in the present invention.
In an embodiment, as shown in
In addition, as shown in
According to an embodiment of the present invention, printing materials of the heating circuit 12 include silver, tungsten or molybdenum manganese.
Specifically, the outer wall of the cylindrical cellular ceramic heating body is printed with the heating silver paste thick film heating circuit for heating. Due to the fact that the ceramic heating body 11 adopts the porous cellular structure, the heating surface area of the heating element can be greatly increased. According to experiments, the user only needs to heat the heating body 11 to about 380° C. to heat the air to above 300° C. Because the ceramic heating body 11 has higher heat capacity, after each smoking airflow (for example, 50 ml air) passes through the ceramic heating element, temperature decrease is small, only 20-30° C.
When the heating circuit 12 is printed on the outer surface of the heating body 11 in the thick film circuit mode, its heating resistor is generally a PTC thermistor, that is, the resistance increases when the temperature rises. According to multiple temperature increase and decrease experiments, the temperature of the ceramic heating element corresponds to the resistance, so that the temperature of the ceramic heating element can be represented by measuring the resistance. Thus the temperature of the heating element can be pulled back to the original temperature within several seconds by utilizing the self-compensation effect (the heating element is cooled, the resistance decreases, the current increases, and the power increases) of the thick film heating circuit under constant voltage supply of a DC power supply, and the temperature of the heating element can be kept stable without fluctuations when there is no airflow.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, due to the cellular structure of the heating body 11, the ceramic heating element can provide sufficient heat capacity, so that the temperature effect of the airflow on the heating element is very small in the simulated smoking process, no power compensation is required, and the effect of the heating air for cigarette smoking can be achieved by self-regulation.
In addition, the heating circuit 12 printed on the heating body 11 in the thick film circuit mode has a clear temperature-sensitive effect. The resistance increases with increase of the temperature and decreases with decrease of the temperature, the heating circuit can be used as a sensor, so no temperature sensor is required to control the temperature of the heating element.
Accordingly, as shown in
Step S1: Control the heating circuit to perform heating work at first working voltage when the non-contact heat not Turn heating device is started and keep working time of the heating circuit.
That is, when the non-contact heat not burn heating device is started, first constant voltage is applied to the heating circuit to improve the heating rate by adopting high power pulling up, and the working time of the heating circuit is kept simultaneously.
Step S2: Detect the working current of the heating circuit.
Step S3: Perform voltage reduction control on the working voltage of the heating circuit according to the working time of the heating circuit and the working current of the heating circuit.
That is, due to the fact that the voltage is constant in the rapid heating stage, and the resistance of the heating circuit increases with the temperature, the working current of the heating circuit decreases with the increase of temperature, then the working temperature of the ceramic heating element can be reflected through the working current of the heating circuit, and the working voltage of the heating circuit is subjected to voltage reduction control according to the working time of the heating circuit after the ceramic heating element reaches the certain working temperature to achieve heat balance control.
Therefore, according to the heating control method for the ceramic heating element of the non-contact heat not burn heating device of the embodiment of the present invention, due to the fact that the heating body adopts a porous honeycomb structure, the ceramic heating element can provide sufficient heat capacity to make the temperature effect of airflow on the heating element very small in the simulated smoking process, in addition, the heating circuit has a clear temperature-sensitive effect, thus when the non-contact heat not burn heating device is started, first the heating circuit is controlled to perform the heating work at the first working voltage, and then the voltage reduction control is performed on the working voltage of the heating circuit according to the working time of the heating circuit and the working current of the heating circuit, that is, the required air heating effect for cigarette smoking can be achieved by controlling the working voltage of the heating circuit, the ceramic heating element does not need to perform dynamic power compensation based on the airflow sensor, nor does it need to detect or control the temperature based on the temperature sensor, which not only simplifies the complexity of the control system, but also achieves the better control response effect.
Further, as shown in
Step S1: Control the heating circuit to perform heating work at first working voltage when the non-contact heat not burn heating device is started and keep working time of the heating circuit.
That is, when the non-contact heat not burn heating device is started, first constant voltage is applied to the heating circuit to improve the heating rate by adopting high power pulling up, and the working time of the heating circuit is kept simultaneously.
Step S2: Detect the working current of the heating circuit.
Step S3: Perform voltage reduction control on the working voltage of the heating circuit according to the working time of the heating circuit and the working current of the heating circuit.
That is, due to the fact that the voltage is constant in the rapid heating stage, and the resistance of the heating circuit increases with the temperature, the working current of the heating circuit decreases with the increase of temperature, then the working temperature of the ceramic heating element can be reflected through the working current of the heating circuit, and the working voltage of the heating circuit is subjected to voltage reduction control according to the working time of the heating circuit after the ceramic heating element reaches the certain working temperature to achieve heat balance control.
Step S4: Perform adaptive adjustment on the working voltage of the heating circuit according to the working current change rate of heating circuit after voltage reduction.
That is, in the heat balance stage after voltage reduction, the working current of the heating circuit will increase in each breath a user takes for smoking, while the current change rate is different based on the smoke volume of each breath of the different crowds, therefore, the working voltage of the heating circuit is subjected to adaptive adjustment according to the working current change rate of the heating circuit to meet the requirement for smoking habits of the different crowds and adapt to the smoking habits of the different crowds.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the step S4 of performing adaptive adjustment on the working voltage of the heating circuit according to the working current change rate of the heating circuit includes judging whether the working current change rate of the heating circuit is in the preset current change rate range; if the working current change rate of the heating circuit is greater than the upper limit of the current change rate range, controlling the working voltage of the heating circuit to be reduced; if the working current change rate of the heating circuit is less than the lower limit of the current change rate range, controlling the working voltage of the heating circuit to be increased; and if the working current change rate of the heating circuit is in the current change rate range, controlling the working voltage of the heating circuit to remain unchanged.
Wherein, the preset current change rate range can be demarcated according to actual situations.
That is, in the heat balance stage, if the smoke volume of each breath of the user is relatively large, then the current change rate of the heating circuit is relatively large, then the working voltage of the heating circuit needs to be reduced to ensure heat balance, for example, the voltage can be reduced by one scale and can be reduced by a voltage threshold (0.1V), if the smoke volume of each breath of the user is relatively small, the current change rate of the heating circuit is relatively small, the working voltage of the heating circuit needs to be increased to ensure heat balance, for example, the voltage can be increased by one scale and can be increased by a voltage threshold (0.1V); and if the smoke volume of each breath of the user is moderate, the current change rate of the heating circuit is in the preset current change rate range, and the working voltage of the heating circuit is not required to be adjusted and can remain unchanged.
Therefore, according to the heating control method for the ceramic heating element of the non-contact heat not burn heating device of the embodiment of the present invention, due to the fact that the heating body adopts a porous honeycomb structure, the ceramic heating element can provide sufficient heat capacity to make the temperature effect of airflow on the heating element very small in the simulated smoking process, in addition, the heating circuit has a clear temperature-sensitive effect, thus when the non-contact heat not burn heating device is started, first the heating circuit is controlled to perform the heating work at the first working voltage, and then the voltage reduction control is performed on the working voltage of the heating circuit according to the working time of the heating circuit and the working current of the heating circuit, finally the adaptive adjustment is performed on the working voltage of the heating circuit according to the working current change rate of the heating circuit after voltage reduction, that is, the required air heating effect for cigarette smoking can be achieved by controlling the working voltage of the heating circuit, the ceramic heating element does not need to perform dynamic power compensation based on the airflow sensor, nor does it need to detect or control the temperature based on the temperature sensor, which not only simplifies the complexity of the control system, but also achieves the better control response effect. In addition, after voltage reduction, the working voltage of the heating circuit is subjected to adaptive adjustment according to the working current change rate of the heating circuit to meet the requirement for the smoke volume required by smoking habits of different crowds and improve the user experience.
Optionally, according to an embodiment of the present invention, through holes of the porous channel 101 are round holes or polygonal holes.
In addition, in an embodiment, the through holes of the porous channel 101 are regularly distributed in the heating body 11, for example, as shown in
Optionally, when the heating body 11 is a cylinder, the through holes of the porous channel 101 can be evenly distributed in the peripheral direction. Or, as shown in
Understandably, in the embodiment of the present invention, the distribution of the through holes of the porous channel 101 may not be limited, as long as the porous cellular structure of the heating body 11 is limited.
Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, the hole diameter of the through holes of the porous channel 101 is 0.1-2 mm, for example, 0.5 mm and 1 mm; and the distance between two adjacent through holes is 0.1-0.5 mm, for example, 0.2 min and 0.4 mm. Understandably, the hole diameter of the through holes of the porous channel 101 and the distance between two adjacent through holes can be limited according to the specific circumstances of the heating body 11, as long as ventilation can be performed to increase the contact area between the air and the surface.
Optionally, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the heating body 11 is made of aluminum oxide ceramics, aluminum nitride ceramics, silicon nitride ceramics, silicon carbide ceramics, beryllium oxide ceramics or zirconium oxide ceramics.
Wherein, the aluminum oxide content in the aluminum oxide ceramics is greater than 99%, and the density of the aluminum oxide ceramics is not less than 3.86 g/cm3.
Specifically, in an example, as shown in
In addition, the density of the aluminum oxide ceramics of the heating body 11 is 3.9 g/cm3, and the resistance of the heating body 11 can be 0.1-2Ω, for example, 0.6Ω and 0.8Ω; the hole diameter of the square holes of the porous channel 101 can be 1.5 mm, that is, the side length of the square holes is 1.5 mm; and the wall thickness of the porous channel 101 can be 0.2 mm, as shown in
Further, the material of the heating circuit 12 can be silver. Wherein, the printing thickness of the heating circuit 2 is 0.01-0.02 mm, the wires 13 can be silver wires, and the diameter is 0.2 mm.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the purity of the aluminum oxide ceramics for making the heating body 11 is greater than 99%, that is, the ceramics are high-purity aluminum oxide ceramics, the cellular ceramic surface has very high compactness, adsorption of the smoke particles can be effectively prevented, and the effect of preventing peculiar smell can be achieved. The cellular heating body made of the high-purity aluminum oxide ceramics has good thermal conductivity, up to 33 W/MK. The wall thickness and the hole diameter are both very small in the structure of the cellular ceramic heating element, and the heat conduction effect is extremely good. Meanwhile, the contact area with the air can be greatly increased by means of the cellular shape, so that the specific surface area of the honeycomb aluminum oxide ceramics is large, the heating efficiency is high, and the aim of heating the air can be achieved more quickly. In this way, the cellular ceramic heating element of the embodiment of the present invention is arranged under a smoking product to be baked and not in direct contact with the smoking product to be baked. When a user smokes the smoking product, the air flows through the through holes of the heating element honeycomb to be heated to the specific temperature, then the smoking product is quickly heated to about 320° C. when the hot air flows through the smoking product, the heating area and the heating efficiency of the smoking product are greatly improved, the heating is more even, the cut tobacco is carbonized more completely, cut tobacco waste is avoided, the taste of the user is improved, the smoke volume is sufficient, and the effect is not limited by the variety of the smoking product. Further, the air flow speed is limited to some extent due to the structure of the porous honeycomb, the contact time between the hot air and the smoking product is longer, heat loss is reduced, and energy is saved. When there is no smoking action, the porous honeycomb ceramic can lock the hot air while reducing the outflow of hot air, which will further save energy.
To sum up, according to the ceramic heating element of the embodiment of the present invention, the heating body is internally provided with the porous channel, so that the contact area between the heating body and the air can be increased when the air passing through the porous channel is heated by the heating circuit, which makes the specific surface area of the honeycomb ceramic body large and achieves sufficient heating of the air. Not only the heating efficiency is high, but also the ceramic heating body has high thermal conductivity, so that the aim of heating the air can be achieved more quickly. Further, the air flow speed is limited to some extent due to the structure of the porous channel, the contact time between the hot air and a smoking product is longer during baking of the smoking product, heat loss is reduced, and energy is saved. Moreover, when no smoking action is performed, the hot air can be locked by means of the porous shape of the ceramic heating body, which reduces outer flow of the hot air and further saves the energy. In addition, due to the fact that the ceramic heating body has high surface compactness, adsorption of the smoke particles can be effectively prevented, and the effect of preventing peculiar smell can be achieved.
As shown in
Wherein, a cavity defined by the smoking product bearing assembly 20 is suitable for placing the smoking product, and the smoking product bearing assembly 20 separates the smoking product from the ceramic heating element 10.
Optionally, in an embodiment, the smoking product bearing assembly 20 can specifically include a ceramic tube 21 and a blocking piece 22, wherein the cavity defined by the ceramic tube 21 is suitable for placing the smoking product, the blocking piece 22 is connected to the ceramic tube 21 and adjacent to the ceramic heating element 10 to separate the smoking product from the ceramic heating element 10.
Wherein, as shown
Further, as shown in
Specifically, in an example, as shown in
In this way, when the ceramic heating element 10 performs heating work, the flow deflector separates the ceramic heating element 10 from the smoking product, which can effectively prevent the ceramic heating element 10 from being in direct contact with the smoking product or being too close to the smoking product to further prevent the part of the smoking product close the ceramic heating element from being heated to be over 320° C. and burnt. Further, when a user smokes the smoking product, the hot air can flow into the cavity quickly through hot air through holes to bake the smoking product evenly and quickly.
Optionally, in another embodiment, as shown in
Specifically, two blocking pieces 22 can be provided, and the two blocking pieces 22 are arranged oppositely to separate the ceramic heating element 10 from the smoking product effectively and further effectively prevent the ceramic heating element 10 from being in direct contact with the smoking product or being too close to the smoking product to further prevent the part of the smoking product close to the ceramic heating element from being heated to be over 320° C. and burnt. Further, when the user smokes the smoking product, the hot air can flow into the cavity quickly through the gap between the two blocking pieces to bake the smoking product evenly and quickly.
Optionally, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the ceramic tube 21 is made of the aluminum oxide ceramics, the aluminum nitride ceramics, the silicon nitride ceramics, the silicon carbide ceramics, the beryllium oxide ceramics or the zirconium oxide ceramics.
Further, the flow deflector can also be made of the aluminum oxide ceramics, the aluminum nitride ceramics, the silicon nitride ceramics, the silicon carbide ceramics, the beryllium oxide ceramics or the zirconium oxide ceramics.
Wherein, the aluminum oxide content in the aluminum oxide ceramics is greater than 99%, and the density of the aluminum oxide ceramics is not less than 3.86 g/cm3.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the purity of the aluminum oxide ceramics is greater than 99%, so that the ceramic surface has very high compactness, adsorption of the smoke particles can be effectively prevented, and the effect of preventing peculiar smell can be achieved. Further, the aluminum oxide ceramics have good thermal conductivity, up to 33 W/MK, so that the heating efficiency is high, and air temperature rise in the cavity can be achieved more quickly.
Meanwhile, the aluminum oxide ceramic tube 21 does not serve as a heating component, which can reduce the heat loss. In addition, on one hand, the hot air through holes adopted can facilitate circulation of hot air; on the other hand, it also prevents direct diffusion of the hot air when there is no smoking action. The heat insulation effect is achieved.
Based on deep research on the ceramic heating element and the smoking product bearing assembly 20, the inventor of the present invention finds that, in the smoking product of the current common heat-not-burn product, the carbonization temperature of cigarette paper wrapped outside is less than that of the cut tobacco inside; and when the temperature of the cigarette paper wrapped outside the smoking product exceeds 240° C., there will be burnt smell, while the cut tobacco inside needs to be baked at about 330° C. to emit smoke effectively. This requires to achieve the effect that the tobacco paper is not over-baked when the cut tobacco is heated to the ideal temperature. Further, the inventor finds through experiments that better use experiences will be achieved during actual smoking if the entire smoking product has the ideal preparation temperature, like 200˜220° C.
For this purpose, when the heat not burn heating device scheme where the smoking product is not in direct contact with the ceramic heating element is adopted, the smoking product bearing assembly 20 is required to provide the preparation temperature of 200˜220° C. Therefore, the ceramic tube further needs to have a preheating function. In order to prevent the smoking product from being in direct contact with the ceramic heating element, the blocking piece needs to be arranged at the bottom of the ceramic tube or in the defined cavity to achieve the effect of position limiting. According to repeated experiments, the blocking piece can not only effectively separate the smoking product from the ceramic heating element, but also achieve the effect that tobacco tar precipitate generated during the smoking process of the smoking product will not condense on the ceramic heating element and the blocking piece, repeated smoking achieves the self-cleaning effect naturally, no peculiar smell is left, no frequent cleaning is required, and high use value can be achieved.
In terms of the heating effect, according to many experiments, as a smoking product container, the aluminum oxide ceramic tube can not only effectively provide the ideal preparation temperature for the smoking product through the high thermal conductivity of the aluminum oxide material, but also achieve the effect that no tobacco tar residue is left due to compactness of the material of the aluminum oxide ceramic tube, and peculiar smell caused by continuous use is avoided.
To sum up, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the ceramic tube 21 can further achieve a preheating effect and can preheat the smoking product, therefore it can be called a preheating tube.
Optionally, to achieve a better preheating effect, the wall of the preheating tube can extend out in the axial direction relative to the blocking piece to contain at least one part of the ceramic heating element 10.
That is, the blocking piece 22 is arranged in the cavity defined by the ceramic tube 21 to divide the cavity into two parts, one part is used for placing the smoking product, and the other part is used for containing at least one part of the ceramic heating element 10.
Specifically, as shown in
In this way, when the ceramic heating element 10 performs heating work, because the flow deflector and the ceramic tube are both made of the high-purity aluminum oxide ceramics which can be quickly heated to achieve the effect of preheating the cavity, the heating efficiency can be improved, and even baking of the smoking product can be facilitated.
In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in
The non-contact heat not burn heating device according to the embodiment of the present invention heats the air through the ceramic heating element to make the heated flow air bake the smoking product evenly to avoid cut tobacco waste of the smoking product and improve the smoke volume. Meanwhile, due to the fact that the ceramic heating element adopts the high-purity aluminum oxide ceramics which have high compactness and almost have no pores in the micro structure, pollutants in fluids cannot enter the ceramic heating element and thus cannot leave pollution or peculiar smell on the surface. Further, because the smoking product bearing assembly separates the smoking product from the ceramic heating element completely, non-contact air heating is completely achieved to ensure that the product is not polluted. In addition, the ceramic heating element adopts the porous arrangement, so that the specific surface area of the honeycomb ceramic body is large enough to achieve sufficient heating of the air. Not only the heating efficiency is high, but also the ceramic heating body has high thermal conductivity, so that the aim of heating the air can be achieved more quickly. Further, the air flow speed is limited to some extent due to the structure of the porous channel, the contact time between the hot air and the smoking product is longer during baking of the smoking product, the heat loss is reduced, and the energy is saved. Moreover, when no smoking action is performed, the hot air can be locked by means of the porous shape of the ceramic heating body, which reduces outer flow of the hot air and further saves the energy.
In addition, in order to increase the heating rate, when the ceramic heating element is controlled to perform heating work, the heating strategy of adopting high-power pulling up in the initial stage and maintaining the working temperature at low power after reaching the working temperature can be adopted.
Optionally, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the step of performing voltage reduction control on the working voltage of the heating circuit according to the working time of the heating circuit and the working current of the heating circuit includes judging whether the working current of the heating circuit reaches a preset current threshold; if working current of the heating circuit reaches the preset current threshold, obtaining a corresponding voltage reduction curve according to the working time of the heating circuit and performing the voltage reduction control on the working voltage of the heating circuit according to the obtained voltage reduction curve.
Specifically, in an embodiment, the step of dividing the working time of the heating circuit into a plurality of time periods with each time period corresponding to a voltage reduction curve and obtaining the corresponding voltage reduction curve according to the working time of the heating circuit includes judging the time period of the working time of the heating circuit; and obtaining the corresponding voltage reduction curve according to the time period of the working time of the heating circuit.
That is, the initial temperature of the ceramic heating element may be different each time the non-contact heat not burn heating device is started, which leads to the fact that the working time required by the heating circuit from the initial temperature to the certain working temperature (i.e. the heat balance temperature) may be different. In order to ensure heat balance, the corresponding voltage reduction curve needs to be determined according to the working time of the heating circuit, so that the ideal using effect that the non-contact heat not burn heating device can be smoked at any time without waiting for cooling of a product, user requirements can be fully met, and the user experience is improved.
In addition, due to the temperature transfer process, the smoking product and the smoking product bearing assembly have not reached the corresponding temperature except for the ceramic heating element that has reached the corresponding working temperature. Therefore, while the ceramic heating element is controlled to maintain the working temperature by low-power heating (that is, after voltage reduction), the voltage cannot be directly reduced to the voltage in the thermal insulation stage but needs to be slowly reduced.
Therefore, when the ceramic heating element is controlled to enter the thermal insulation stage, the voltage reduction process needs to be completed in multiple stages. For example, two-stage voltage reduction is required. In the first stage, the voltage is quickly reduced; in the second stage, the voltage needs to be slowly reduced to the corresponding voltage in the thermal insulation stage to enter the thermal insulation stage maintaining the working temperature. Because the power is much higher than the heat balance power in order to raise the temperature quickly in the early stage. If the voltage reduction is too slow, the temperature of the smoking product can exceed 330° C. easily when the user smokes the smoking product continuously after the first smoking action, leading to scorching of the smoking product. Therefore, the control process of first reducing the voltage quickly and then reducing the voltage slowly can avoid the situation effectively.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the working current of the heating circuit reaches a preset current threshold, if the working time of the heating circuit is no less than the preset time threshold, multiple voltage reduction curves are adopted to perform the voltage reduction control on the working voltage of the heating circuit, wherein the corresponding voltage reduction rate of the multiple voltage reduction curves decreases successively.
Due to the fact that the multiple voltage reduction control is adopted, and the corresponding voltage reduction rate of the multiple voltage reduction curves decreases successively, the smoking product can be prevented from being burnt effectively, heat balance can be effectively achieved, the smoking product can be evenly and uniformly baked, cut tobacco waste is avoided, and the smoke volume is ensured.
As shown in
The voltage control module 901 is used for controlling the heating circuit to perform heating work at first working voltage when the non-contact heat not burn heating device is started, the timing module 902 is used for keeping the working time of the heating circuit when the non-contact heat not burn heating device is started, and the current detecting module 903 is used for detecting the working current of the heating circuit. The voltage control module 901 is further used for performing voltage reduction control on the working voltage of the heating circuit according to the working time of the heating circuit and the working current of the heating circuit.
In an embodiment, the voltage control module 901 is further used for performing adaptive adjustment on the working voltage of the heating circuit according to the working current change rate of the heating circuit after voltage reduction.
Further, the voltage control module 903 is further used for judging whether the working current change rate of the heating circuit is in the preset current change rate range; if the working current change rate of the heating circuit is greater than the upper limit of the current change rate range, controlling the working voltage of the heating circuit to be reduced; if the working current change rate of the heating circuit is less than the lower limit of the current change rate range, controlling the working voltage of the heating circuit to be increased; and if the working current change rate of the heating circuit is in the current change rate range, controlling the working voltage of the heating circuit to remain unchanged.
That is, in the heat balance stage, if the smoke volume of each breath of the user is relatively large, then the current change rate of the heating circuit is relatively large, then the working voltage of the heating circuit needs to be reduced to ensure heat balance, for example, the voltage can be reduced by one scale and can be reduced by a voltage threshold (0.1V); if the smoke volume of each breath of the user is relatively small, the current change rate of the heating circuit is relatively small, the working voltage of the heating circuit needs to be increased to ensure heat balance, for example, the voltage can be increased by one scale and can be increased by a voltage threshold (0.1V); and if the smoke volume of each breath of the user is moderate, the current change rate of the heating circuit is in the preset current change rate range, and the working voltage of the heating circuit is not required to be adjusted and can remain unchanged.
Therefore, after voltage reduction, the working voltage of the heating circuit is subjected to adaptive adjustment according to the working current change rate of the heating circuit to meet the requirement for the smoke volume required by smoking habits of different crowds and improve the user experience.
Optionally, in an embodiment, the voltage control module 901 is further used for judging whether the working current of the heating circuit reaches a preset current threshold, if working current of the heating circuit reaches the preset current threshold, obtaining a corresponding voltage reduction curve according to the working time of the heating circuit and performing the voltage reduction control on the working voltage of the heating circuit according to the obtained voltage reduction curve.
That is, when the non-contact heat not burn heating device is started, first constant voltage is applied to the heating circuit by the voltage control module 901 to improve the heating rate by adopting high power pulling up, and the working time of the heating circuit is kept simultaneously through the timing module 902, like a timer. Due to the fact that the voltage is constant in the rapid heating stage, and the resistance of the heating circuit increases with the temperature, the working current of the heating circuit decreases with the increase of temperature, then the working temperature of the ceramic heating element can be reflected through the working current of the heating circuit, and the working voltage of the heating circuit is subjected to voltage reduction control according to the working time of the heating circuit after the ceramic heating element reaches the certain working temperature (that is, the heat balance temperature) to achieve heat balance control.
Specifically, in an embodiment, the voltage control module is used for dividing the working time of the heating circuit into a plurality of time periods with each time period corresponding to a voltage reduction curve, wherein the voltage control module 901 judges the time period of the working time of the heating circuit and obtains the corresponding voltage reduction curve according to the time period of the working time of the heating circuit when obtaining the corresponding voltage reduction curve according to the working time of the heating circuit.
That is, the initial temperature of the ceramic heating element may be different each time the non-contact heat not burn heating device is started, which leads to the fact that the working time required by the heating circuit from the initial temperature to the certain working temperature (i.e. the heat balance temperature) may be different. In order to ensure heat balance, the corresponding voltage reduction curve needs to be determined according to the working time of the heating circuit, so that the ideal using effect that the non-contact heat not burn heating device can be smoked at any time without waiting for cooling of a product, user requirements can be fully met, and the user experience is improved.
Optionally, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the voltage control module 901 is further used for, when the working current of the heating circuit reaches a preset current threshold, if the working time of the heating circuit is no less than the preset time threshold, adopting multiple voltage reduction curves to perform the voltage reduction control on the working voltage of the heating circuit, wherein the corresponding voltage reduction rate of the multiple voltage reduction curves decreases successively.
Due to the temperature transfer process, the smoking product and the smoking product bearing assembly have not reached the corresponding temperature except for the ceramic heating element that has reached the working temperature. Therefore, while the ceramic heating element is controlled to maintain the working temperature by low-power heating, the voltage cannot be directly reduced to the voltage in the thermal insulation stage but needs to be slowly reduced.
Therefore, when the ceramic heating element is controlled to enter the thermal insulation stage, the voltage reduction process needs to be completed in multiple stages. For example, two-stage voltage reduction is required. In the first stage, the voltage is quickly reduced; in the second stage, the voltage needs to be slowly reduced to the corresponding voltage in the thermal insulation stage to enter the thermal insulation stage maintaining the working temperature. Because the power is much higher than the heat balance power in order to raise the temperature quickly in the early stage. If the voltage reduction is too slow, the temperature of the smoking product can exceed 330° C. easily when the user smokes the smoking product continuously after the first smoking action, leading to scorching of the smoking product. Therefore, the control process of first reducing the voltage quickly and then reducing the voltage slowly can avoid the situation effectively.
Due to the fact that the multiple voltage reduction control is adopted, and the corresponding voltage reduction rate of the multiple voltage reduction curves decreases successively, the smoking product can be prevented from being burnt effectively, heat balance can be effectively achieved, the smoking product can be evenly and uniformly baked, cut tobacco waste is avoided, and the smoke volume is ensured.
Optionally, in an embodiment, the heating circuit is printed on the outer surface of the heating body in a thick film circuit mode.
Wherein, it should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the preset current threshold and the preset time threshold can be demarcated according to the product actual situations.
According to the heating control device for the ceramic heating element of the non-contact heat not burn heating device of the embodiment of the present invention, due to the fact that the heating body adopts a porous honeycomb structure, the ceramic heating element can provide sufficient heat capacity to make the temperature effect of airflow on the heating element very small in the simulated smoking process, in addition, the heating circuit has a clear temperature-sensitive effect, thus when the non-contact heat not burn heating device is started, first the heating circuit is controlled by the voltage control module to perform the heating work at the first working voltage, and then the voltage reduction control is performed on the working voltage of the heating circuit according to the working time of the heating circuit and the working current of the heating circuit, that is, the required air heating effect for cigarette smoking can be achieved by controlling the working voltage of the heating circuit, the ceramic heating element does not need to perform dynamic power compensation based on the airflow sensor, nor does it need to detect or control the temperature based on the temperature sensor, which not only simplifies the complexity of the control system, but also achieves the better control response effect.
