[0027] The technical solutions of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the accompanying drawings in the present disclosure.
Embodiment One
[0028] Please refer to FIG. 1, which shows a schematic diagram of a mixed-type heat-not-burn device provided by the first embodiment of the present disclosure, including: a housing 300.
[0029] Wherein, the housing 300 may be sequentially provided with:
a first accommodating space 301-A provided inside the housing, for placing a liquid substrate unit 100, such as e-cigarette liquid; a second accommodating space 302-A opened on the side of the housing 300, for accommodating a solid substrate unit 200, such as cigarettes, and one side of the second accommodating space 302-A may be set as an opening, the solid substrate unit 200 may be inserted into the second accommodating space 302-A through the opening of the second accommodating space 302-A; and a heating atomization unit 400-A, for heating the liquid substrate unit 100 to form a first aerosol, and for heating the solid substrate unit 200 to form a second aerosol.
[0030] In the present embodiment, the first aerosol formed by the liquid substrate unit 100 may be conducted to the solid substrate unit 200, so that the first aerosol and the second aerosol are mixed and discharged from the solid substrate unit 200. Since the atomization temperature of the e-cigarette liquid is about 200°C, the heating and atomizing temperature of the cigarette generally reaches 300°C or more. By conducting the first aerosol formed by the liquid substrate unit 100 to the solid substrate unit 200, a large amount of the aroma substances inside the solid substrate unit 200 can be released, such that the heating and atomizing temperature of the solid substrate unit 200 can be reduced, the amount of smoke can be increased. At the same time, the e-cigarette liquid has many flavors and can maximize the taste.
[0031] In the present embodiment, the heating atomization unit 400-A may include a liquid substrate atomizer 401-A and a solid substrate atomizer 402-A that are separately provided. The liquid substrate atomizer 401-A may be at least partially immersed in the liquid substrate unit 100 for heating the liquid substrate unit 100 to form the first aerosol. The solid substrate atomizer 402-A may include a heating element tip fixedly provided inside the second accommodating space 302-A, the solid substrate unit 200 may be inserted into the heating element tip inside the second accommodating space 302-A, thereby heating the solid substrate unit 200 to form the second aerosol.
[0032] In the present embodiment, the second accommodating space 302-A and the second accommodating space 302-A may be provided side by side, and a first air passage 500-A may be provided between the first accommodating space 301-A and the second accommodating space 302-A. One end of the first air passage 500-A may be communicated to the top of the first accommodating space 301-A, and the other end may be communicated to the bottom of the second accommodating space, so that the first aerosol can flow through the solid substrate unit 200 more fully, and to connect to the first accommodating space and the second accommodating space through the air passage structure to realize a mixed-type heat-not-burn device. The modification to the original design is less, and the structure may be simple and easy to implement. The first aerosol formed by the liquid substrate unit 100 flows into the solid substrate unit 200 through the first air passage 500-A. Under the action of external inhalation, the first aerosol can carry out a large amount of aroma substances inside the solid substrate unit 200, and can be mixed with the second aerosol formed with the solid substrate unit 200 and discharged from the opening of the second accommodating space 302-A, so that the first aerosol and the second aerosol can enter the oral cavity of the consumer together.
[0033] Optionally, the liquid substrate unit 100 may include, but is not limited to, an e-cigarette liquid containing propylene glycol and/or glycerin; the solid substrate unit 200 may include, but is not limited to, a low-temperature cigarette formed by tobacco particles, tobacco shreds, longitudinal bundles of cylindrical flakes, or other tobacco products. The device may also include a power supply device 600-A for providing energy to the liquid substrate atomizer 401-A and the solid substrate atomizer 402-A. In the present embodiment, a single power supply device can be adopted to provide energy to the liquid substrate atomizer 401-A and the solid substrate atomizer 402-A at the same time. Alternatively, several power supply device can also be used to provide energy to the liquid substrate atomizer 401-A and the solid substrate atomizer 402-A, respectively. No specific limitation is made to the present disclosure.
Embodiment Two
[0034] Please refer to FIG. 2, which shows a schematic diagram of a mixed-type heat-not-burn device provided in the second embodiment of the present disclosure, including: a housing 300.
[0035] Wherein, the housing 300 may be sequentially provided with:
a first accommodating space 301-B provided inside the housing, for storing the liquid substrate unit 100, such as e-cigarette liquid; a second accommodating space 302-B opened on the side of the housing 300, for accommodating the solid substrate unit 200, such as cigarettes, and one side of the second accommodating space 302-B may be set as an opening, the solid substrate unit 200 may be inserted into the second accommodating space 302-B through the opening of the second accommodating space 302-B; a heating atomization unit configured to heat the liquid substrate unit 100 to form a first aerosol, and configured to heat the solid substrate unit 200 to form a second aerosol. Wherein, the first aerosol formed by the liquid substrate unit 100 may be conducted to the solid substrate unit 200, so that the first aerosol and the second aerosol may be mixed and discharged from the solid substrate unit 200. The heating atomization unit may include a liquid substrate atomizer 401-B and a solid substrate atomizer 402-B that are separately provided, the same as or similar to the heating atomization unit 400-A described in the above embodiment. The device may also include a power supply device 600-B that supplies energy to the liquid substrate atomizer 401-B and the solid substrate atomizer 402-B, which will not be repeated here.
[0036] The difference from the above-mentioned embodiment is that in the present embodiment, the first accommodating space 301-B is provided below the second accommodating space 302-B.
[0037] A first air passage 500-B may be provided between the first accommodating space 301-B and the second accommodating space 302-B, and the first aerosol formed by the liquid substrate unit 100 flows into the solid substrate unit 200 through the first air passage 500-B. Under the action of external inhalation, the first aerosol can carry out a large amount of aroma substances inside the solid substrate unit 200, and may be mixed with the second aerosol formed by the solid substrate unit 200 and then discharged from the solid substrate unit 200. Furthermore, the first aerosol and the second aerosol can enter the oral cavity of the consumer together. In order to allow the first aerosol to more fully flow through the solid substrate unit 200, one end of the first air passage 500-B may be usually communicated to the top of the first accommodating space 301-B, and the other end may be communicated to the second accommodating space 302-B. When the first accommodating space 301-B is provided below the second accommodating space 302-B, the arrangement of the air passage can be simplified, the length of the first air passage 500-B can be reduced, and the condensation of the first aerosol formed by the liquid substrate unit in the air passage can be reduced, and the condensate is reduced accordingly.
Embodiment Three
[0038] Please refer to FIG. 3, which shows a schematic diagram of a mixed-type heat-not-burn device provided in a third embodiment of the present disclosure, including: a housing 300.
[0039] Wherein, the housing 300 may be sequentially provided with:
a first accommodating space 301-C provided inside the housing, for storing the liquid substrate unit 100, such as e-cigarette liquid; a second accommodating space 302-C opened on the side of the housing 300, for accommodating the solid substrate unit 200, such as cigarettes, and one side of the second accommodating space 302-C may be set as an opening, the solid substrate unit 200 may be inserted into the second accommodating space 302-C through the opening of the second accommodating space 302-C; a heating atomization unit configured to heat the liquid substrate unit 100 to form a first aerosol, and configured to heat the solid substrate unit 200 to form a second aerosol. Wherein, the first aerosol formed by the liquid substrate unit 100 may be conducted to the solid substrate unit 200, so that the first aerosol and the second aerosol may be mixed and discharged from the solid substrate unit 200.
[0040] The difference from the above-mentioned embodiment is that in the present embodiment, the heating atomization unit may be formed as an integrated structure. Specifically, the heating atomization unit may include:
a column 407-C, the column 407-C can be divided into a first end 403-C and a second end 404-C. The first end 403-C of the column 407-C may extend into the first accommodating space 301-C to at least partially infiltrate the inside of the liquid substrate unit 100. The second end 404-C of the column 407-C can be extended into the second accommodating space 302-C. The second end 404-C of the column 407-C can be set to a sharp shape that facilitates the insertion of the solid substrate unit 200, and the user can insert the solid substrate unit 200 (such as a cigarette) into the second end 404-C of the column 407-C;
a first heating element 405-C fixed on the side wall of the second end 404-C of the column 407-C, for heating at least the solid substrate unit 200. Specifically, the resistance paste can be coated on the column 407-C by a sintering method to form the first heating element 405-C. It is worth noting that the first heating element 405-C may be formed of any one or more of resistance paste, metal resistance sheet, or metal resistance wire, which may be not specifically limited in the present disclosure.
[0041] Optionally, the heating atomization unit may further include a fixed base 406-C fixedly connected to the column 407-C, and may be specifically provided at the boundary of the first end 403-C and the second end 404-C. By fixing the fixed base 406-C to the inside of the housing 300, the heating atomization unit can be fixed inside the housing 300. A power supply device 600-C can be provided for providing energy to the first heating element 405-C.
[0042] Further, the column 407-C may be partially or entirely configured as a porous structure, the porous structure may be formed of porous ceramics, or may be formed of other materials with capillary structures, which is not specifically limited in the present disclosure. Through the capillary force of the porous gaps in the column 407-C, part of the liquid in the liquid substrate unit 100 can flow from the first accommodating space 301-C into the column 407-C, and further flow along the column 407-C to the first heating element 405-C, the first heating element 405-C heats it, so that the liquid substrate unit 100 may be atomized to form a first aerosol and diffuses inside the solid substrate unit 200. At the same time, the solid substrate unit 200 may be also heated by the first heating element 405-C and atomized to form a second aerosol. After the first aerosol and the second aerosol are mixed, they may be inhaled into the oral cavity of the consumer through the cigarette. Preferably, the first heating element 405-C can be provided at the proximal end of the solid substrate unit 200 along the longitudinal direction of the heating atomization unit, so as to promote the first aerosol formed by the liquid substrate unit 100 to enter the solid substrate unit 200 as much as possible.
[0043] By adopting the heating atomization unit of the above-mentioned integrated structure, only one heating element is required to heat and atomize the liquid substrate unit 100 and the solid substrate unit 200 at the same time, and there is no need to install a separate liquid substrate unit heating atomizer, and there is no need to set up an air passage. The structure is simple, the cost is reduced, and the thermal efficiency is higher.
Embodiment Four
[0044] Please refer to FIG. 4, which shows a schematic diagram of a mixed-type heat-not-burn device provided by a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure, including: a housing 300.
[0045] Wherein, the housing 300 may be sequentially provided with:
a first accommodating space 301-D provided inside the housing, for storing the liquid substrate unit 100, such as e-cigarette liquid; a second accommodating space 302-D opened on the side of the housing 300, for accommodating the solid substrate unit 200, such as cigarettes, and one side of the second accommodating space 302-D may be set as an opening, the solid substrate unit 200 may be inserted into the second accommodating space 302-D through the opening of the second accommodating space 302-D; a heating atomization unit configured to heat the liquid substrate unit 100 to form a first aerosol, and configured to heat the solid substrate unit 200 to form a second aerosol. Wherein, the first aerosol formed by the liquid substrate unit 100 may be conducted to the solid substrate unit 200, so that the first aerosol and the second aerosol may be mixed and discharged from the solid substrate unit 200.
[0046] The heating atomization unit may be formed as an integrated structure. Specifically, the heating atomization unit may include: a column 407-D and a first heating element 405-D. Specifically, the description of the column 407-D and the first heating element 405-D in the present embodiment are the same as or similar to the description of the column 407-C and the first heating element 405-C in the foregoing Embodiment Three, and will not be repeated here.
[0047] The difference from the foregoing embodiment is that, in the present embodiment, the heating atomization unit further includes:
a fixed base 406-D, the fixed base 406-D may be fixedly connected to the column 407-D, which can be specifically provided at the boundary between the first end 403-D and the second end 404-D. By fixing the fixed base 406-D to the inside of the housing 300, the heating atomization unit can be fixed inside the housing 300;
a second heating element 408 fixed on the fixed base 406-D for heating the liquid substrate unit 100. Specifically, the resistance paste may be coated on the fixed base 406-D by a sintering method to form the second heating element 408. It is worth noting that the second heating element 408 may be formed of any one or more of resistance paste, metal resistance sheet, or metal resistance wire, which is not specifically limited in the present disclosure.
[0048] In the present embodiment, the first end 403-D of the column 407-D and the fixed base 406-D may be partially or wholly provided as a porous structure. Specifically, the porous structure may be formed of porous ceramics, or may be formed from other materials with capillary structure, which is not specifically limited in the present disclosure. Through the capillary force of the porous gaps, at least part of the liquid in the liquid substrate unit 100 can flow from the first end 403-D of the column 407-D to the second heating element 408 of the fixed base 406-D for heating, thereby forming the first aerosol, and the first aerosol then flows into the bottom of the second accommodating space into the solid substrate unit 200. In this way, the problem of poor smoking effect caused by partial moist inside the cigarette can be avoided.
[0049] Optionally, in the present embodiment, the second end 404-D of the column may be formed of a dense ceramic material, and may be set in a sharp shape that facilitates the insertion of the solid substrate unit.
[0050] Optionally, in the present embodiment, a power supply device 600-D for providing energy to the first heating element 405-D and the second heating element 408 may be also provided.
[0051] Optionally, in the present embodiment, the housing 300 may further include: a second air passage provided between the second heating element 408 and the second accommodating space 302-D. Specifically, one end of the second air passage may be communicated to the top of the second heating element 408 on the fixed base 406-D, and the other end may be communicated to the bottom of the second accommodating space 302-D, so that the first aerosol formed at the second heating element 408 can pass through the second air passage 501 into the solid substrate unit 200, to conduct the first aerosol formed by the liquid substrate unit 100 to the solid substrate unit 200 and diffuse inside the solid substrate unit 200. At the same time, the solid substrate unit 200 may be also heated by the first heating element 405-D and atomized to form the second aerosol. After the first aerosol and the second aerosol are mixed, they may be inhaled into the oral cavity of the consumer through the cigarette. By providing the second air passage, leakage during air flow can be avoided, and the length and design complexity of the air passage may be further reduced, thereby further reducing the condensation of the first aerosol in the air passage and reducing condensate.
Embodiment Five
[0052] Please refer to FIG. 5, which shows a schematic diagram of a mixed-type heat-not-burn device provided by the fifth embodiment of the present disclosure, including: a housing 300.
[0053] Wherein, the housing 300 may be sequentially provided with:
a first accommodating space 301-E provided inside the housing, for storing the liquid substrate unit 100, such as e-cigarette liquid; a second accommodating space 302-E opened on the side of the housing 300, for accommodating the solid substrate unit 200, such as cigarettes, and one side of the second accommodating space 302-E may be set as an opening, the solid substrate unit 200 may be inserted into the second accommodating space 302-E through the opening of the second accommodating space 302-E; a heating atomization unit configured to heat the liquid substrate unit 100 to form a first aerosol, and configured to heat the solid substrate unit 200 to form a second aerosol. Wherein, the first aerosol formed by the liquid substrate unit 100 may be conducted to the solid substrate unit 200, so that the first aerosol and the second aerosol may be mixed and discharged from the solid substrate unit 200.
[0054] The difference from the above-mentioned embodiment is that in the present embodiment, it further includes an e-cigarette (electronic cigarette) device 700. The first accommodating space 301-E and at least part of the heating atomization unit may be provided in the electronic cigarette device, In addition, the electronic cigarette device 700 may be detachably provided inside the housing.
[0055] Optionally, the above-mentioned electronic cigarette device 700 may be an independent liquid e-cigarette, configured to atomize the liquid of the electronic cigarette for the user to use the electronic cigarette device 700 alone. Further, after the electronic cigarette device 700 is assembled into a heat-not-burn device, the e-cigarette liquid can be atomized and discharged into the heat-not-burn cigarette, which can then be used by users in combination.
[0056] Specifically, a third accommodating space 303 may be provided in the housing 300, the electronic cigarette device may be detachably installed in the third accommodating space 303. The electronic cigarette device 700 may be provided with a first accommodating space 301-E for accommodating the liquid substrate unit. In the electronic cigarette device 700, a through hole for connecting to the flue may be opened outward from the first accommodating space, and at least part of the heating atomization unit may be independently provided, and an electronic cigarette power supply device 601 for providing energy to the at least part of the heating atomization unit may be provided.
[0057] Optionally, the electronic cigarette device 700 may also be a detachable cartridge for accommodating the liquid substrate unit 100, and when the user only needs to replace or supplement the liquid substrate unit 100 in the mixed-type heat-not-burn device, only the cartridge that is detachably installed inside the device is needed to be replaced.
[0058] In the present embodiment, by detachably installing the electronic cigarette device in the heat-not-burn device, it is possible to provide users with a variety of different experience. If the electronic cigarette device is an independent liquid e-cigarette, when combined with the heat-not-burn device, the taste effect may be better, and when the electronic cigarette device is used alone, it is more portable. If the electronic cigarette device is a cartridge, it has the effect of more convenient replacement of the liquid substrate unit (e-cigarette liquid). In addition, the technical solution provided by the present embodiment can be improved based on the existing electronic cigarette device. That is, it is only necessary to design and produce the contents other than the electronic cigarette device in the mixed-type heat-not-burn device. The cost is greatly saved, and there is no need for users to repeat purchases.
