Patent Application
20230091308
This application relates to the field of e-cigarette technologies, and in particular, to a heating body and a heating apparatus.
An e-cigarette is an electronic product that simulates a cigarette. The e-cigarette has appearance and taste similar to those of a cigarette, but usually does not contain harmful components such as tar and suspended particulates in the cigarette. The e-cigarette mainly heats an e-liquid or tobacco through a heating body to release aromatic substances and nicotine in the e-liquid or tobacco and produce vapor that is close to the taste of a real cigarette.
A heat-not-burn cigarette device mainly heats tobacco at a low temperature of 200° C. to 400° C. to produce a vapor without a large amount of harmful substances caused by high temperature cracking. Currently, the heating method of the heat-not-burn cigarette device is mainly central heating or peripheral heating. The central heating has high heat efficiency and requires no heat insulation. However, a contact between the heating body and the tobacco cannot be avoided in the central heating. During the use of the heat-not-burn cigarette device using the central heating method, liquid substances that cannot be vaporized are precipitated while the tobacco is carbonized, and soot is inevitably formed. The soot tends to get adhered on the surface of the heating body and is difficult to clean. As a result, the smoking taste of the heat-not-burn cigarette device using the central heating method is likely to deteriorate after a period of use.
In an embodiment, the present invention provides a heating body, comprising: a substrate; a heating layer arranged on the substrate; and a protruding structure layer arranged on the heating layer, wherein the protruding structure layer comprises a plurality of protruding units arranged on the heating layer at intervals or the protruding structure layer has a grid shape.
Subject matter of the present disclosure will be described in even greater detail below based on the exemplary figures. All features described and/or illustrated herein can be used alone or combined in different combinations. The features and advantages of various embodiments will become apparent by reading the following detailed description with reference to the attached drawings, which illustrate the following:

The foregoing heating apparatus has at least the following advantages:
(1) The foregoing heating apparatus has a longer service life. The foregoing heating apparatus includes the foregoing heating body 10. The protruding structure layer 140 on the heating body 10 reduces a contact area between soot and the heating body 10, so that the heating body 10 is not prone to soot adhesion, and even if soot is adhered, the soot can be easily wiped off. Therefore, the foregoing heating apparatus is prone to damage and has a longer service life.
(2) The foregoing heating apparatus has high taste consistency during use: After long-term use, the heating body of a conventional heating apparatus damages the temperature field of the heating body due to the adhesion of a large amount of soot on a surface of the heating body. As a result, the transfer of temperature to tobacco is affected, and eventually the taste of the tobacco is spoiled. The heating body 10 of the foregoing heating apparatus has a protruding structure layer 140 arranged on the insulating and heat-conducting layer 130. The protruding structure layer 140 greatly reduces the adhesion of massive soot, thereby reducing the impact of soot on the temperature field of the heating body 10 and providing high taste consistency of the foregoing heating apparatus.
(3) When the foregoing heating apparatus is in use, a cigarette is plugged in and out more smoothly. The surface of the heating body 10 of the foregoing heating apparatus is not prone to soot adhesion. A cross-section of the heating body 10 does not increase significantly, and during the insertion of a cigarette, the resistance of a cigarette does not increase significantly. In addition, because an adhesive force between the tobacco and the heating body 10 having the protruding structure layer 140 is small, there is no obvious blockage in pulling out a cigarette, and a cigarette can be plugged in and out smoother.
(4) The heating body 10 of the foregoing heating apparatus is more aesthetic. The heating body 10 is not prone to soot adhesion and is cleaner during use.

Test
The anti-adhesion capability to soot in the embodiments and Comparative example 1 are tested by using a weight increase method (that is, an amount of adhered soot is determined by comparing weights of the heating body before and after smoking to obtain an increase). Specific steps are:
weighing the heating body with an electronic balance before smoking; and then weighing the heating body again after 20 cigarettes are smoked, where the weight of soot adhered to the heating body is equal to a difference of subtracting the weight of the heating body before smoking from the weight of the heating body after 20 cigarettes are smoked.
The test results of the embodiments and Comparative example 1 are shown in Table 1.
From the foregoing table, it can be seen that the heating body of Embodiments 1 to 3 have a strong anti-adhesion capability to the soot.
