Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

This application relates to the field of electronic vaporization technologies, and in particular, to a heating assembly, a vaporizer, and an electronic vaporization device.

BACKGROUND

An electronic vaporization device is formed by components such as a heating body, a battery, and a control circuit. The heating body is a core component of the electronic vaporization device, and characteristics thereof decide a vaporization effect and use experience of the electronic vaporization device.

One type of the existing heating body is a cotton core heating body. Most cotton core heating bodies are in a structure of a spring-shaped metal heating wire wrapped on a cotton rope or a fiber rope. A to-be-vaporized liquid aerosol-generation substrate is absorbed by two ends of the cotton rope or fiber rope and then transmitted to the centered metal heating wire for heating and vaporization. Because an area of an end portion of the cotton rope or the fiber rope is limited, the absorption efficiency and the transmission efficiency of the aerosol-generation substrate are relatively low. In addition, the structure stability of the cotton rope or the fiber rope is poor. As a result, phenomena such as dry burning, carbon accumulation, and a burnt flavor are likely to occur after a plurality of times of thermal cycling.

Another type of the existing heating body is a ceramic heating body. In most ceramic heating bodies, a metal heating film is formed on a surface of a porous ceramic body. The porous ceramic body plays a role of liquid guiding and liquid storage, and the metal heating film heats and vaporizes the liquid aerosol-generation substrate. However, it is hard for a porous ceramic manufactured through high-temperature sintering to accurately control position distribution and size precision of micropores. To reduce a risk of liquid leakage, a hole diameter and a porosity need to be decreased, but to implement sufficient liquid supplying, the hole diameter and the porosity need to be increased, which conflict with each other. At present, with the hole diameter and the porosity meeting a condition of a low liquid leakage risk, a liquid guiding capability of a porous ceramic substrate is limited, and a burnt flavor is generated under a high power condition.

As technologies advance, requirements of a user on the vaporization effect of the electronic vaporization device become increasingly high. To meet the requirements of the user, a thin heating body is provided to improve a liquid supplying capability. However, bubbles are easily formed on a liquid absorbing surface of the thin heating body, which blocks liquid intaking and leads to dry burning of the heating body.

Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of an electronic vaporization device according to this application. In this embodiment, an electronic vaporization device 100 is provided. The electronic vaporization device 100 may be configured to vaporize an aerosol generation substrate.

Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a vaporizer according to an embodiment of this application.

The vaporizer 1 includes a housing 10, a vaporization base 11, and a heating assembly 12. The housing 10 includes a liquid storage cavity 13 and an air outlet channel 14, where the liquid storage cavity 13 is configured to store a liquid aerosol-generation substrate, and the liquid storage cavity 13 is provided surrounding the air outlet channel 14. An inhalation opening 15 is further provided on an end portion of the housing 10, and the inhalation opening 15 is in communication with the air outlet channel 14. Specifically, an end opening of the air outlet channel 14 may form the inhalation opening 15. A holding cavity 16 is provided on one side of the liquid storage cavity 13 that is away from the inhalation opening 15 of the housing 10, and the vaporization base 11 is arranged in the holding cavity 16. The vaporization base 11 includes a vaporization top base 111 and a vaporization bottom base 112. The vaporization top base 111 cooperates with the vaporization bottom base 112 to form an accommodating cavity 113. That is, the vaporization base 11 includes the accommodating cavity 113. The heating assembly 12 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 113 and is arranged together with the vaporization base 11 in the holding cavity 16.

Two fluid channels 114 are provided on the vaporization top base 111. Specifically, the two fluid channels 114 are provided on a top wall of the vaporization top base 111, and the two fluid channels 114 are provided on two sides of the air outlet channel 14. One end of each of the fluid channels 114 is in communication with the liquid storage cavity 13, and the other end is in communication with the accommodating cavity 113. That is, the fluid channels 114 communicate the liquid storage cavity 13 and the accommodating cavity 113, so that the aerosol-generation substrate in the liquid storage cavity 13 enters the heating assembly 12 through the fluid channels 114. That is, the heating assembly 12 is in fluid communication with the liquid storage cavity 13, and the heating assembly 12 is configured to absorb and heat and vaporize the aerosol-generation substrate. The controller of the main unit 2 controls the heating assembly 12 to vaporize the aerosol-generation substrate.

In this embodiment, a surface of the heating assembly 12 that is away from the liquid storage cavity 13 is a vaporization surface, a vaporization cavity 115 is formed between the vaporization surface of the heating assembly 12 and an inner wall surface of the accommodating cavity 113, and the vaporization cavity 115 is in communication with the air outlet channel 14. An air inlet 116 is provided on the vaporization bottom base 112, so that the vaporization cavity 115 is in communication with the outside. External air enters the vaporization cavity 115 through the air inlet 116, carries aerosols vaporized by the heating assembly 12 to enter the air outlet channel 14, and finally reaches the inhalation opening 15 to be inhaled by the user.

Optionally, a material of the sealing top cap 18 is silicone or fluoro rubber.

Referring to FIG. 3 to FIG. 5, FIG. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a heating assembly according to an embodiment of this application, FIG. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of the heating assembly provided in FIG. 3 from one side of a liquid absorbing surface, and FIG. 5 is a schematic perspective top structural view of the heating assembly provided in FIG. 3.

The heating assembly 12 includes a dense substrate 121, and the dense substrate 121 includes a liquid absorbing surface 1211 and a vaporization surface 1212 that are arranged opposite to each other. The dense substrate 121 includes a plurality of vertical holes 1213 and a plurality of transverse holes 1214, the plurality of vertical holes 1213 are through holes running through the liquid absorbing surface 1211 and the vaporization surface 1212, and the plurality of transverse holes 1214 communicate the plurality of vertical holes 1213. The plurality of transverse holes 1214 cooperate with the plurality of vertical holes 1213 to form a mesh-shaped microfluidic channel. The vertical hole 1213 includes capillary force, and the aerosol-generation substrate is guided from the liquid absorbing surface 1211 to the vaporization surface 1212 through the vertical hole 1213. The mesh-shaped microfluidic channel may block bubbles from entering the liquid absorbing surface 1211 from the vaporization surface 1212, and prevent bubbles entering through adjacent vertical holes 1213 from being connected, namely, prevent the bubbles from growing up. Meanwhile, even if bubbles enter the liquid absorbing surface 1211 from the vaporization surface 1212 through the vertical holes 1213 and grow up when attached onto the liquid absorbing surface 1211 to block some vertical holes 1213, the transverse holes 1214 may supplement the aerosol-generation substrate to the blocked vertical holes 1213, to ensure in-time liquid supplying of the vaporization surface 1212, thereby preventing dry burning. The transverse hole 1214 further plays a role of liquid storage, to ensure that the transverse hole may not be burnt out for at least two times of inverse inhalation.

A material of the dense substrate 121 is glass, dense ceramic, or silicon. When the material of the dense substrate 121 is glass, the glass may be one of common glass, quartz glass, borosilicate glass, or photosensitive lithium aluminosilicate glass. In a specific implementation, the dense substrate 121 is borosilicate glass. In another specific implementation, the dense substrate 121 is photosensitive lithium aluminosilicate glass.

The dense substrate 121 may be in a shape of a plate, a cylinder, or an arc, which is specifically designed as required. For example, the dense substrate 121 of the heating assembly 12 provided in FIG. 4 is in a shape of a plate. The dense substrate 121 may be set to be in a regular shape, such as a rectangular plate shape or a circular plate shape. The plurality of vertical holes 1213 provided on the dense substrate 121 are arranged in an array. That is, the plurality of vertical holes 1213 provided on the dense substrate 121 are regularly arranged, and distances between centers of adjacent vertical holes 1213 among the plurality of vertical holes 1213 are the same.

Referring to FIG. 6, FIG. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of the heating assembly provided in FIG. 3 from one side of a vaporization surface.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the heating assembly 12 further includes a heating component 122, a positive electrode 123, and a negative electrode 124, where two ends of the heating component 122 are respectively electrically connected to the positive electrode 123 and the negative electrode 124. The positive electrode 123 and the negative electrode 124 are both arranged on the vaporization surface of the dense substrate 121 to be electrically connected to the main unit 2. The heating component 122 may be a heating sheet, a heating film, or a heating mesh, provided that the aerosol-generation substrate can be heated and vaporized. The heating component 122 may be arranged on the vaporization surface of the dense substrate 121 or may be buried inside the dense substrate 121, which is specifically designed as required.

In another implementation, the dense substrate 121 includes a conductive function and can generate heat by itself, such as conductive ceramic generating heat by itself or glass having a conductive function, and the heating component 122 does not need to be arranged in this case. That is, the heating component 122 is an optional structure.

In this implementation, the plurality of vertical holes 1213 are merely arranged on a part of the surface of the dense substrate 121 in an array arrangement manner. Specifically, the dense substrate 121 is provided with a microporous array region 1215 and a blank region 1216 provided surrounding a periphery of the microporous array region 1215, where the microporous array region 1215 includes the plurality of vertical holes 1213; the heating component 122 is arranged in the microporous array region 1215, to heat and vaporize the aerosol-generation substrate; and the positive electrode 123 and the negative electrode 124 are arranged in the blank region 1216 on the vaporization surface 1212, to ensure the stability of the electrical connection between the positive electrode 123 and the negative electrode 124.

By providing the microporous array region 1215 and the blank region 1216 provided surrounding the periphery of the microporous array region 1215 on the dense substrate 121, it may be understood that, no vertical hole 1213 is provided on the blank region 1216, thereby helping improve the intensity of the dense substrate 121 and reduce production costs. The microporous array region 1215 in the dense substrate 121 is used as a vaporization region to cover the heating component 122 and a region around the heating component 122, that is, basically cover regions reaching a temperature for vaporizing the aerosol-generation substrate, thereby fully utilizing the thermal efficiency.

It may be understood that, only when a size of a region around the microporous array region 1215 of the dense substrate 121 in this application is greater than a hole diameter of the vertical hole 1213, can the region be referred to as the blank region 1216. That is, the blank region 1216 in this application is a region in which vertical holes 1213 may be formed but no vertical hole 1213 is formed, rather than a region around the microporous array region 1215 and in which vertical holes 1213 cannot be formed. In an embodiment, it is considered that a blank region 1216 is provided in a circumferential direction of the microporous array region 1215 only when a gap between a vertical hole 1213 that is closest to a touchline of the dense substrate 121 and the touchline of the dense substrate 121 is greater than the hole diameter of the vertical hole 1213.

An extending direction of the vertical hole 1213 may be parallel to a thickness direction of the dense substrate 121, or may form an angle with the thickness direction of the dense substrate 121, where the angle ranges from 80 degrees to 90 degrees. A cross section of the vertical hole 1213 may be in a shape of a circle, and a shape of a vertical section and an extending direction of the vertical hole 1213 may be designed as required. In this embodiment, the vertical hole 1213 is a through hole parallel to the thickness direction of the dense substrate 121. That is, a central axis of the vertical hole 1213 is perpendicular to the liquid absorbing surface 1211.

A hole diameter of each vertical hole 1213 on the dense substrate 121 ranges from 1 μm to 100 μm. When the hole diameter of the vertical hole 1213 is less than 1 μm, the liquid supplying requirement cannot be met, leading to a decrease in an amount of aerosols; and when the hole diameter of the vertical hole 1213 is greater than 100 μm, the aerosol-generation substrate may easily leak out from the vertical hole 1213 to cause liquid leakage, leading to a decrease in the vaporization efficiency. It may be understood that, the hole diameter of the vertical hole 1213 is selected according to an actual requirement.

A hole diameter of each transverse hole 1214 ranges from 1 μm to 100 μm. When the hole diameter of the transverse hole 1214 is less than 1 μm, an effect of preventing the bubbles from entering the liquid absorbing surface 1211 cannot be well implemented; and when the hole diameter of the transverse hole 1214 is greater than 100 μm, the aerosol-generation substrate may leak easily, and there is a risk that the bubbles are transversely merged to grow up. Optionally, the hole diameter of the transverse hole 1214 ranges from 20 μm to 50 μm. It may be understood that, the hole diameter of the transverse hole 1214 is selected according to an actual requirement.

A thickness of the dense substrate 121 ranges from 0.1 mm to 1 mm. When the thickness of the dense substrate 121 is greater than 1 mm, the liquid supplying requirement cannot be met, leading to a decrease in the amount of aerosols. In addition, a caused heat loss is great, and costs for providing the vertical holes 1213 and the transverse holes 1214 are high. When the thickness of the dense substrate 121 is less than 0.1 mm, the intensity of the dense substrate 121 cannot be ensured, which is not conducive to improve the performance of the electronic vaporization device. Optionally, the thickness of the dense substrate 121 ranges from 0.3 mm to 0.7 mm. It may be understood that, the thickness of the dense substrate 121 is selected according to an actual requirement.

A ratio of the thickness of the dense substrate 121 to the hole diameter of the vertical hole 1213 ranges from 20:1 to 3:1, to improve the liquid supplying capability. When the ratio of the thickness of the dense substrate 121 to the hole diameter of the vertical hole 1213 is greater than 20:1, the aerosol-generation substrate supplied through capillary force of the vertical hole 1213 cannot met a vaporization required amount of the heating component 122, which easily leads to dry burning and a decrease in the amount of aerosols generated in single vaporization. When the ratio of the thickness of the dense substrate 121 to the hole diameter of the vertical hole 1213 is less than 3:1, the aerosol-generation substrate may easily leak out from the vertical hole 1213 to cause a waster, leading to a decrease in the vaporization efficiency and a decrease in a total amount of aerosols. Optionally, the ratio of the thickness of the dense substrate 121 to the hole diameter of the vertical hole 1213 ranges from 15:1 to 5:1.

A ratio of a distance between centers of two adjacent vertical holes 1213 to the hole diameter of the vertical hole 1213 ranges from 3:1 to 1.5:1, so that the intensity of the dense substrate 121 is improved as much as possible while causing the vertical holes 1213 on the dense substrate 121 to meet the liquid supplying capability. Optionally, the ratio of the distance between centers of two adjacent vertical holes 1213 to the hole diameter of the vertical hole 1213 ranges from 3:1 to 2:1. Further optionally, the ratio of the distance between centers of two adjacent vertical holes 1213 to the hole diameter of the vertical hole 1213 ranges from 3:1 to 2.5:1.

Referring to FIG. 7, FIG. 7 is a schematic structural diagram of an implementation of transverse holes and vertical holes inside the heating assembly provided in FIG. 3.

In an implementation, referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 7, the plurality of transverse holes 1214 include a plurality of first transverse holes 1214a extending in a first direction and a plurality of second transverse holes 1214b extending in a second direction, the first direction intersects with the second direction, and the plurality of first transverse holes 1214a and the plurality of second transverse holes 1214b are provided in a same layer in the thickness direction of the dense substrate 121. For example, a central axis of each of the plurality of first transverse holes 1214a and a central axis of each of the plurality of second transverse holes 1214b are approximately located in the same plane. Optionally, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

Referring to FIG. 8, FIG. 8 is a schematic structural diagram of another implementation of transverse holes and vertical holes inside the heating assembly provided in FIG. 3.

In another implementation, the plurality of first transverse holes 1214a and the plurality of second transverse holes 1214b are provided in different layers in the thickness direction of the dense substrate 121. For example, the plurality of first transverse holes 1214a and the plurality of second transverse holes 1214b are provided at intervals in the thickness direction of the dense substrate 121. Compared with the arrangement manner in FIG. 7, the plurality of first transverse holes 1214a and the plurality of second transverse holes 1214b are staggered in the thickness direction of the dense substrate 121, which helps improve the intensity of the dense substrate 121.

Referring to FIG. 3, in this implementation, hole diameters of the plurality of vertical holes 1213 are consistent in a direction from the vaporization surface 1212 to the liquid absorbing surface 1211; and hole diameters of the plurality of transverse holes 1214 are consistent in an extending direction of each of the plurality of transverse holes 1214. An angle between a central axis of each of the plurality of transverse holes 1214 and a central axis of each of the plurality of vertical holes 1213 is greater than or equal to 70 degrees and less than or equal to 90 degrees. Optionally, the angle is 90 degrees. It may be understood that, the hole diameters of the plurality of vertical holes 1213 may be the same or may be different, which are designed as required. The hole diameters of the plurality of transverse holes 1214 may be the same or may be different, which are designed as required.

Referring to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, FIG. 9 is a schematic structural diagram of still another implementation of transverse holes and vertical holes inside the heating assembly provided in FIG. 3, and FIG. 10 is a schematic structural diagram of still another implementation of transverse holes and vertical holes inside the heating assembly provided in FIG. 3.

In an implementation, each of the plurality of vertical holes 1213 includes a first vertical hole segment 1213a close to the liquid absorbing surface 1211 and a second vertical hole segment 1213b close to the vaporization surface 1212, and a hole diameter of the first vertical hole segment 1213a is different from a hole diameter of the second vertical hole segment 1213b.

Specifically, the hole diameter of each of the plurality of vertical holes 1213 at an end opening of the liquid absorbing surface 1211 is a first value, the hole diameter of each of the plurality of vertical holes 1213 at an end opening of the vaporization surface 1212 is a second value, and the first value is greater than the second value. That is, the hole diameter of the first vertical hole segment 1213a at the end opening of the liquid absorbing surface 1211 is greater than the hole diameter of the second vertical hole segment 1213b at the end opening of the vaporization surface 1212. Through the foregoing arrangement, contact between the bubbles and a hole wall of a part of each of the plurality of vertical holes 1213 that is close to the liquid absorbing surface 1211 may be reduced, which helps bubble separation.

In a direction from the vaporization surface 1212 to the liquid absorbing surface 1211, the hole diameter of each of the plurality of vertical holes 1213 is gradually increased. In an implementation, the hole diameter of each of the plurality of vertical holes 1213 is continuously increased. For example, a vertical section of each of the plurality of vertical holes 1213 is in a shape of a trapezoid, namely, each of the plurality of vertical holes 1213 is a cone-shaped hole. In another implementation, as shown in FIG. 9, the hole diameter of each of the plurality of vertical holes 1213 is increased in a stepped manner In this case, the first vertical hole segment 1213a and the second vertical hole segment 1213b each have an equal diameter, and by setting the hole diameter of the second vertical hole segment 1213b to be less than the hole diameter of the first vertical hole segment 1213a, contact between the bubbles and the hole wall is reduced, which helps bubble separation. In still another implementation, the first vertical hole segment 1213a may be in a shape of a funnel, where a hole diameter of an end opening close to the second vertical hole segment 1213b is equal to the hole diameter of the second vertical hole segment 1213b, and a hole diameter of another part is greater than the hole diameter of the second vertical hole segment 1213b, thereby reducing contact between the bubbles and the hole wall and helping bubble separation. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the first vertical hole segment 1213a is in a shape of a round table, and the second vertical hole segment 1213b is in a shape of a cylinder.

It may be understood that, each of the plurality of transverse holes 1214 may be a diameter-equal hole or may be a cone-shaped hole, provided that transverse liquid supplying can be implemented and bubble discharge can be facilitated, which is specifically designed as required.

The plurality of vertical holes 1213 on the heating assembly 12 provided in this application may be obtained through laser drilling, or may be obtained through laser induction first and corrosion when immersed in corrosion liquid. The plurality of transverse holes 1214 may be obtained through laser induction first and corrosion when immersed in corrosion liquid, and it may be understood that, no transverse hole 1214 is formed in the blank region 1216 in this manner.
