TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of vaporization technologies, and in particular,
to an aerosol-generation article, an electronic vaporizer, and a vaporization system.
BACKGROUND
[0002] An electronic vaporizer is a device that mainly heats an aerosol-generation article
to form aerosols. A heat-not-burn (HNB) electronic vaporizer can bake an aerosol-generation
article at a low temperature (not greater than 450°C) to generate aerosols without
a large amount of harmful substances brought by high-temperature pyrolysis, so that
the HNB electronic vaporizer is adored by people.
[0003] Heating methods used in a conventional HNB electronic vaporizer includes a contact
heating technology. That is, an external heat source (a sheet-shaped heat generation
body, a pin-shaped heat generation body, or an electromagnetic induction heat generation
body) of an aerosol-generation article conducts heat to the aerosol-generation article,
and the aerosol-generation article vaporizes effective components in the aerosol-generation
article after the heat is absorbed to generate aerosols. However, residues generated
during heat generation are easily adhered to a heating body of an electronic vaporizer
based on the conventional contact heating technology, which is hard to clean and easily
affects the inhalation taste.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] For ease of understanding the present invention, the present invention is described
more comprehensively below. The present invention may be implemented in many different
forms, and is not limited to embodiments described in this specification. On the contrary,
the embodiments are provided to make the disclosed content of the present invention
clearer and more comprehensive.
[0028] It should be noted that, when an element is expressed as "being fixed to" another
element, the element may be directly on the another element, or one or more intermediate
elements may exist between the element and the another element. When an element is
expressed as "being connected to" another element, the element may be directly connected
to the another element, or one or more intermediate elements may exist between the
element and the another element. Orientation or position relationships indicated by
terms such as "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right", "upper", "lower", "inner",
"outer", and "bottom" are based on orientation or position relationships shown in
the accompanying drawings, and are used only for ease of description, rather than
indicating or implying that the mentioned apparatus or element must have a particular
orientation or must be constructed and operated in a particular orientation. Therefore,
such terms should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention. In addition,
terms "first" and "second" are merely used for description and should not be understood
as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0029] Unless otherwise defined, meanings of all technical and scientific terms used in
this specification are the same as that usually understood by a person skilled in
the technical field to which the present invention belongs. In this specification,
terms used in this specification of the present invention are merely intended to describe
objectives of the specific embodiments, but are not intended to limit the present
invention.
[0030] In an embodiment of the preset invention, an aerosol-generation article is provided.
The above aerosol-generation article generates heat when the aerosol-generation article
matches an electronic vaporizer generating an alternating electric field. In this
case, the electronic vaporizer does not need to be provided with a heat generation
body, thereby preventing residues deposited on the heat generation body from affecting
the inhalation taste, and use of the electronic vaporizer is more convenient since
the heat generation body does not need to be cleaned.
[0031] In an embodiment of the preset invention, an electronic vaporizer and a vaporization
system that are convenient to use and can improve the inhalation taste of the aerosol-generation
article are further provided.
[0032] Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, an implementation of the present invention provides
a vaporization system 10. The vaporization system 10 includes an aerosol-generation
article 100 and an electronic vaporizer 200 adapted to the aerosol-generation article
100.
[0033] The aerosol-generation article 100 can generate heat under the action of an alternating
electric field generated by the electronic vaporizer 200 to form aerosols through
vaporization. The aerosols are solid particles or suspended droplets in gas (for example,
air).
[0034] Specifically, the aerosol-generation article 100 includes a packaging layer (not
shown in the figure) and an aerosol-generation substrate 110.
[0035] The packaging layer is used as outer packaging and is configured to wrap other components
(for example, the aerosol-generation substrate 110) of the aerosol-generation article
100 in the packaging layer. In some embodiments, the packaging layer is at least one
of packaging paper or plastic. In some embodiments, the aerosol-generation article
100 is in a shape of a column. Correspondingly, the packaging layer is in a shape
of a cylinder (for example, a barrel). In an embodiment, the aerosol-generation article
is in a shape of a column, and the aerosol-generation article 100 includes the aerosol-generation
substrate, a hollow tubular element, and a suction nozzle member that are sequentially
arranged on a central axis of the packaging layer and defined by the packaging layer.
The hollow tubular element is arranged between the aerosol-generation substrate and
the suction nozzle member and is configured to extend a distance from the aerosols
to the suction nozzle member, so as to play a role in buffering. In some embodiments,
a cooling element configured to cool the aerosols is further arranged in the hollow
tubular element. In an embodiment, a filtering material (for example, acetate fiber)
is further arranged in the suction nozzle member. In an embodiment, an aerosol cooling
element is further arranged between the hollow tubular element and the suction nozzle
member, to prevent the aerosols from being too hot. It may be understood that, in
some embodiments, the aerosol-generation article 100 is the aerosol-generation substrate
110. That is, in this case, the aerosol-generation article 100 omits the packaging
layer, the hollow tubular element, the suction nozzle member, and the cooling element.
It may be understood that, in some implementations, some of the above elements may
alternatively be included.
[0036] In some embodiments, the aerosol-generation substrate 110 can generate heat under
the action of the alternating electric field to form aerosols through vaporization.
The aerosol-generation substrate 110 has complex components. At the molecular level,
the ordering of molecules included in the aerosol-generation substrate 110 in a natural
state is disordered. Because a dipole moment of each polar molecule is not zero, polar
molecules in the aerosol-generation substrate 110 are subjected to an electric field
force under the action of the electric field and then rotate; and under the action
of the alternating electric field at a specific frequency, the polar molecules rotate
or vibrate, and friction and/or collision occurs among the molecules to generate heat.
Therefore, alternating electric field heating is to place a medium in an alternating
electric field at a specific frequency, polar molecules in the medium rotate or vibrate
at a high speed under the action of the alternating electric field, so that friction
and/or collision occurs, and the medium generates heat. The frequency of the alternating
electric field causing the medium to generate heat is related to properties of the
medium, so that the alternating electric field heating may be performed selectively.
Under the action of the alternating electric field, the aerosol-generation substrate
110 generates heat at a high speed and uniformly, so that the utilization of the aerosol-generation
substrate 110 is high. In addition, because the aerosol-generation substrate 110 can
generate heat by its own from inside to vaporize the aerosol-generation substrate
to form aerosols, the matching electronic vaporizer 200 does not need to be provided
with a heat generation body, such that residues deposited on the heat generation body
can be prevented from affecting the inhalation taste, and use of the electronic vaporizer
200 is more convenient.
[0037] Specifically, the aerosol-generation substrate 110 includes polar molecules. In some
embodiments, the polar molecules are at least one of water, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones,
lipids, phenols, terpenoids, or low-grade fatty acids. Water is a polar molecule having
a good polarity. When the content of water in the aerosol-generation substrate 110
is relatively great, water may be used as a heat generation substance to cause the
aerosol-generation substrate 110 to form aerosols through vaporization. In an embodiment,
water content in the aerosol-generation substrate 110 ranges from 6wt% to 18wt%. Further,
the water content in the aerosol-generation substrate 110 ranges from 8wt% to 14wt%.
Alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, lipids, phenols, terpenoids, and low-grade fatty acids
have polarities and may be heated by an alternating electric field at an appropriate
frequency. In some embodiments, at least one of alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, lipids,
phenols, terpenoids, or low-grade fatty acids is mainly used as a flavor substance,
but content of the alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, lipids, phenols, terpenoids, or low-grade
fatty acids used as the flavor substance is generally relatively small, which cannot
be independently used for heat generation or cannot achieve an apparent heat generation
effect, and need to match other polar molecules (for example, water) to generate heat.
It may be understood that, in some embodiments, at least one of alcohols, aldehydes,
ketones, lipids, phenols, terpenoids, or low-grade fatty acids may alternatively be
used as a heat generation substance, and content thereof in this case is enough to
cause the aerosol-generation substrate 110 to form aerosols through vaporization.
[0038] In some embodiments, the aerosol-generation substrate 110 is a solid substrate. Optionally,
the aerosol-generation substrate 110 is in at least one shape of powders, particles,
sheets, wires, spaghettis, or strips. It may be understood that, the solid aerosol-generation
substrate 110 is not limited to be in the foregoing shape and may also be in other
shapes.
[0039] Specifically, the aerosol-generation substrate 110 includes a functional material
and a substrate material. The functional material causes the aerosol-generation substrate
110 to generate aerosols; and the substrate material provides support to the functional
material to form the aerosol-generation substrate 110. More specifically, the functional
material includes a volatile flavor substance and an aerosol-forming agent. The aerosol-forming
agent is used for forming aerosols; and the volatile flavor substance is used for
adding flavors to aerosols. Use amounts and types of the volatile flavor substance
and the aerosols may be selected and matched according to a requirement.
[0040] The volatile flavor substance is from a natural raw material or artificially synthesized.
Optionally, the volatile flavor substance is at least one selected from the group
consisting of alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, lipids, phenols, terpenoids, low-grade
fatty acids that include flavors, and any combination thereof. In an embodiment, the
volatile flavor substance is an extract of at least one of a leaf, a stem, a root,
or a flower of a plant. Certainly, the volatile flavor substance may be selected and
matched according to an actual requirement. It may be understood that, in some embodiments,
the volatile flavor substance may be omitted.
[0041] Optionally, the aerosol-forming agent includes water and/or other polar molecules.
As described above, water is a polar molecule having a good polarity, which can generate
heat in an alternating electric field for heating. In an embodiment, the aerosol-generation
substrate 110 is a solid substrate, and water content in the aerosol-generation substrate
110 ranges from 6wt% to 18wt%. Further, the water content in the aerosol-generation
substrate 110 ranges from 8wt% to 14wt%. Optionally, the other polar molecules are
at least one selected from the group consisting of triethylene glycol, butylene glycol,
glycerol, propylene glycol, and any combination thereof. It may be understood that,
in some other embodiments, the other polar molecules are not limited to the foregoing.
[0042] In some embodiments, the substrate material is made of a natural raw material including
a volatile flavor substance; and the aerosol-generation substrate 110 is made by mixing
the substrate material and the functional material. In an embodiment, the substrate
material is at least one of a leaf, a stem, a root, or a flower of a plant. In an
optional specific example, the plant is an herb. Under the action of the alternating
electric field, the natural material including a volatile flavor substance can release
the flavor substance and form aerosols. It may be understood that, when the substrate
material is made of a natural raw material (for example, an herb) including a volatile
flavor substance, the volatile flavor substance and the aerosol-forming agent can
be both provided by the substrate material, and thus the functional material can be
omitted in this case. In this case, the water content of the plant is enough to cause
the plant to be heated under the action of the alternating electric field to form
aerosols through vaporization. For example, in this case, the water content of the
plant ranges from 6wt% to 18wt%.
[0043] In an optional specific example, the substrate material is tobacco. Main components
in the tobacco are insoluble polysaccharides, such as starch, cellulose, and pectin.
Content of the starch in mature tobacco ranges from 10% to 30%. The cellulose is a
basic substance forming cellular tissue and skeleton of the tobacco, and content of
the cellulose in the tobacco is generally about 11%, which increases as a grade of
the tobacco decreases. Content of the pectin in the tobacco is about 12%, and the
pectin affects physical performance such as the elasticity and toughness of the tobacco.
Due to the existence of the pectin, when water content in the tobacco is great, the
elasticity and toughness of the tobacco are increased; and when water content is small,
the tobacco is friable and fragile. Certainly, when the substrate material is tobacco,
the functional material can be omitted. In this case, the water content of the tobacco
is enough to cause the tobacco to be heated under the action of the alternating electric
field to form aerosols through vaporization. For example, in this case, the water
content of the tobacco ranges from 6wt% to 18wt%.
[0044] In some other embodiments, the substrate material is an artificially synthesized
material. In an embodiment, the substrate material is a porous material, and the functional
material is filled in the substrate material. In another embodiment, the substrate
material is in a shape of particles, wires, pieces, or powders; the functional material
is distributed in the substrate material; and the aerosol-generation substrate 110
is formed by mixing the functional material and the substrate material. When the substrate
material is an artificially synthesized material, the substrate material only serves
as a carrier and does not release a flavor substance. Specifically, the substrate
material is an artificially synthesized porous material, for example, a porous polymer.
[0045] A frequency of an alternating electric field required by the aerosol-generation substrate
110 for generating aerosols ranges from 10 MHz to 5 GHz. In some embodiments, the
frequency of the alternating electric field required by the aerosol-generation substrate
for generating aerosols ranges from 10 MHz to 49 MHz. In an optional specific example,
the frequency of the alternating electric field required by the aerosol-generation
substrate for generating aerosols is 10 MHz, 15 MHz, 20 MHz, 25 MHz, 30 MHz, 35 MHz,
40 MHz, or 49 MHz. In some other embodiments, the frequency of the alternating electric
field required by the aerosol-generation substrate for generating aerosols ranges
from 981 MHz to 5 GHz. In an optional specific example, the frequency of the alternating
electric field required by the aerosol-generation substrate for generating aerosols
is 985 MHz, 1000 MHz, 1 GHz, 1.5 GHz, 2 GHz, 2.5 GHz, 3 GHz, 3.5 GHz, 4 GHz, or 4.5
GHz.
[0046] In some embodiments, the aerosol-generation article 100 further includes a heating-assisting
material close to the aerosol-generation substrate 110. Specifically, the heating-assisting
material is arranged in the aerosol-generation substrate 110. Further, the heating-assisting
material is distributed in the aerosol-generation substrate 110. By distributing the
heating-assisting material in the aerosol-generation substrate 110, the aerosol-generation
substrate 110 can be heated uniformly, and the consistency of aerosols formed by the
aerosol-generation substrate 110 is better. It may be understood that, in some embodiments,
the heating-assisting material is not limited to being distributed in the aerosol-generation
substrate, and may also be in a shape of a sheet, a rod, a pin or the like, and close
to the aerosol-generation substrate 110, to conduct heat to the aerosol-generation
substrate 110.
[0047] In some embodiments, the heating-assisting material is a material that can generate
heat more easily and/or have a higher heat generation efficiency than the aerosol-generation
substrate 110 in the alternating electric field in which the aerosol-generation substrate
110 is located. In this case, one part of a heat source for vaporization of the aerosol-generation
substrate 110 is from heat generated by the aerosol-generation substrate under the
alternating electric field, and another part of the heat source is from heat generated
by the heating-assisting material under the alternating electric field. It may be
understood that, in some embodiments, heat generated by the aerosol-generation substrate
110 under the action of the alternating electric field is relatively small. In this
case, heat required for vaporization of the aerosol-generation substrate 110 is mainly
from heat generated by the heating-assisting material.
[0048] Optionally, under the action of the alternating electric field, a dielectric loss
factor of the heating-assisting material is greater than a dielectric loss factor
of the aerosol-generation substrate 110. It may be understood that, the heating-assisting
material can have a higher heat generation rate than the aerosol-generation substrate
110 under a heating frequency of the alternating electric field, which can achieve
a more efficient heating efficiency. For example, a dielectric loss of tobacco with
water content of 15wt% is about 0.075, the dielectric loss increases as the water
content increases; and the dielectric loss is about 0.487 when the water content is
30wt%. However, the quality of the tobacco may be affected when the water content
is excessively great. Therefore, it is relatively appropriate when the water content
of the aerosol-generation substrate 110 ranges from 6wt% to 18wt%. Meanwhile, in a
case that the water content is relatively low, to improve the heat generation efficiency,
the heating-assisting material may be added to the aerosol-generation substrate 110
to improve the heat generation efficiency.
[0049] In some embodiments, the heating-assisting material is an attenuation ceramic. In
an optional specific example, the attenuation ceramic is an aluminum nitride-based
attenuation ceramic. The aluminum nitride-based attenuation ceramic has good thermal
conduction performance, where a theoretical value of thermal conductivity is about
320 W/m·K, and has a moderate thermal expansion coefficient, a reliable electrical
insulation, stable chemical and thermal performances, a good mechanical performance,
and no toxicity. In addition, during actual production, some substances with a great
loss, for example, attenuation agents such as SiC, TiB2, Mo, W, and C, are generally
added to a substrate of the aluminum nitride-based attenuation ceramic, to achieve
a specific attenuation effect. In some specific embodiments, a dielectric loss of
AlN-TiB2 attenuation ceramic is about 0.17, and a dielectric loss of tobacco whose
water content is greater than 15% is 0.075.
[0050] The electronic vaporizer 200 can generate an alternating electric field to cause
the aerosol-generation substrate 110 of the aerosol-generation article 100 to generate
heat to form aerosols through vaporization. Specifically, the electronic vaporizer
200 includes a housing, a power source module, and an alternating electric field generation
module. The housing is configured to accommodate other elements of the electronic
vaporizer 200. The power source module supplies power to the alternating electric
field generation module. The alternating electric field generation module is configured
to generate an alternating electric field that can cause the aerosol-generation substrate
110 of the foregoing aerosol-generation article 100 to generate heat to form aerosols
through vaporization.
[0051] Specifically, the housing includes an accommodating cavity, and the power source
module and the alternating electric field generation module are both arranged in the
accommodating cavity. More specifically, the accommodating cavity includes a bottom
portion and an opening opposite to the bottom portion. The power source module supplies
power to other components (for example, the alternating electric field generation
module) in the electronic vaporizer 200. In an embodiment, the power source module
is close to the bottom portion of the accommodating cavity. The power source module
includes a battery. It may be understood that, in some embodiments, the battery may
be omitted. In this case, the electronic vaporizer 200 needs to be connected to an
external power source for use.
[0052] The alternating electric field generation module includes an alternating voltage
generator, a first electrode 210, and a second electrode 220. The alternating voltage
generator is electrically connected to the power source. The alternating voltage generator
provides an alternating voltage for the first electrode 210 and the second electrode
220, to form the alternating electric field between the first electrode 210 and the
second electrode 220. An accommodating space that can accommodate the aerosol-generation
substrate 110 is provided in at least some regions on which the alternating electric
field is distributed, so that the aerosol-generation substrate 110 in the alternating
electric field can generate heat and form aerosols through vaporization under the
action of the alternating electric field. The first electrode 210, the aerosol-generation
article 100 arranged between the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 220,
and the second electrode 220 form an equivalent capacitor.
[0053] Referring to FIG. 2 to FIG. 5, in some embodiments, the first electrode 210 is in
a shape of a plate or a cylinder; and the second electrode 220 is in a shape of a
plate or a cylinder. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the first electrode 210 is
in a shape of a plate, the second electrode 220 is in a shape of a cylinder, and the
first electrode 210 is arranged in the second electrode 220. In the embodiment shown
in FIG. 3, the first electrode 210 is in a shape of a column, the second electrode
220 is in a shape of a cylinder, and the first electrode 210 and the second electrode
220 are concentrically arranged. In the embodiments shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the
first electrode 210 and the second electrode 220 are both in a shape of a plate.
[0054] In some embodiments, one first electrode 210 and one second electrode 220 are provided.
In some other embodiments, a plurality of first electrodes 210 are arranged at intervals,
and a plurality of second electrodes 220 are arranged at intervals; and the alternating
voltage generator is configured to provide an alternating voltage for the plurality
of first electrodes 210 and the corresponding second electrodes 220 according to a
preset mode. Optionally, the preset mode is to perform segmented heating with different
powers or perform sequential segmented heating. Specifically, the segmented heating
with different powers refers to that heat generation degrees of different parts on
the aerosol-generation substrate 110 are different. For example, in an embodiment
whose structure arrangement is shown in FIG. 6, the aerosol-generation substrate 110
is divided into an upper segment, a middle segment, and a lower segment from top to
bottom according to positions corresponding to the first electrodes 210 and the second
electrodes 220. The middle segment of the aerosol-generation substrate 110 has a largest
heat generation degree and a highest temperature, and the upper segment and the lower
segment have smaller heat generation degrees and lower temperatures than the middle
segment. The sequential segmented heating refers to that the heat generation degree
of the aerosol-generation substrate is gradually increased or decreased in a specific
direction. For example, in another embodiment whose structure arrangement is shown
in FIG. 6, the aerosol-generation substrate 110 is divided into an upper segment,
a middle segment, and a lower segment from top to bottom according to positions corresponding
to the first electrodes 210 and the second electrodes 220. The heat generation degree
and the temperature of the aerosol-generation substrate 110 are sequentially increased
according to an order of the lower segment, the middle segment, and the upper segment.
[0055] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, three first electrodes 210 and three second electrodes
220 are provided. It may be understood that, in some other embodiments, the number
of the first electrodes 210 is not limited to three and may also be any other integer
greater than one; and the number of the second electrodes 220 is also not limited
to three and may also be any other integer greater than one.
[0056] A frequency of the alternating electric field generated by the alternating electric
field generation module matches the heated aerosol-generation substrate 110 and/or
heating-assisting material. Optionally, the frequency of the alternating electric
field generated by the alternating electric field generation module ranges from 10
MHz to 5 GHz. In an embodiment, the frequency of the alternating electric field generated
by the alternating electric field generation module ranges from 10 MHz to 49 MHz.
In an optional specific example, the frequency of the alternating electric field required
by the aerosol-generation substrate for generating aerosols is 10 MHz, 15 MHz, 20
MHz, 25 MHz, 30 MHz, 35 MHz, 40 MHz, or 49 MHz. In some other embodiments, the frequency
of the alternating electric field generated by the alternating electric field generation
module ranges from 981 MHz to 5 GHz. In an optional specific example, the frequency
of the alternating electric field required by the aerosol-generation substrate for
generating aerosols is 985 MHz, 1000 MHz, 1 GHz, 1.5 GHz, 2 GHz, 2.5 GHz, 3 GHz, 3.5
GHz, 4 GHz, or 4.5 GHz. Further, the frequency of the alternating electric field generated
by the alternating electric field generation module ranges from 985 MHz to 1000 MHz,
from 1 GHz to 1.5 GHz, from 1.6 GHz to 2 GHz, from 2.1 GHz to 2.5 GHz, from 2.6 GHz
to 3 GHz, from 3.1 GHz to 3.5 GHz, or from 3.6 GHz to 4 GHz.
[0057] In an embodiment, a waveform of an alternating voltage generated by the alternating
voltage generator is a sine wave, a square wave, or a sawtooth wave.
[0058] In some embodiments, the electronic vaporizer 200 further includes an electromagnetic
shielding member 230. The electromagnetic shielding member 230 is configured to shield
or attenuate an overflowed electromagnetic field excited by the alternating electric
field between the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 220. In an embodiment,
the electromagnetic shielding member 230 is made of a material selected from a conductive
material, a composite material of metals and insulators, or a ferrite material. In
an optional specific example, the conductive material is at least one selected from
the group consisting of copper, aluminum, iron, nickel, and any combination thereof.
The composite material is selected from rubber or plastic filled with metal powder
or metal fiber (for example, nickel wire, copper wire, silver wire, or the like).
The ferrite material is selected from manganesezinc ferrite or nickel-copper ferrite.
It may be understood that, in some other embodiments, the conductive material, the
composite material of metals and insulators, and the ferrite material forming the
electromagnetic shielding member 230 are not limited to the foregoing.
[0059] In some embodiments, the electromagnetic shielding member 230 is arranged between
the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 220, and wraps the aerosol-generation
article 100 in the electromagnetic shielding member, for example, referring to the
embodiment shown in FIG. 4. In some other embodiments, the electromagnetic shielding
member 230 is arranged outside the equivalent capacitor formed by the first electrode
210, the aerosol-generation substrate 110, and the second electrode 220, and wraps
the equivalent capacitor in the electromagnetic shielding member, for example, referring
to the embodiment shown in FIG. 5.
[0060] In some embodiments, the aerosol-generation article 100 further includes a first
temperature sensor 120. Specifically, the first temperature sensor 120 is configured
to sense a temperature of the aerosol-generation substrate 110, which facilitates
the electronic vaporizer 200 to control a heat generation temperature of the aerosol-generation
substrate 110. In some embodiments, the first temperature sensor 120 is a thermocouple
temperature sensor, a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) temperature sensor, a
positive temperature coefficient (PTC) temperature sensor, or a temperature coefficient
of resistance (TCR) temperature sensor. Certainly, in some other embodiments, the
first temperature sensor 120 is not limited to the foregoing, and other types of temperature
sensors may also be used.
[0061] Referring to FIG. 7, in some embodiments, the first temperature sensor 120 includes
a dielectric material whose dielectric constant changes with a temperature. A Curie
temperature of the dielectric material falls within a temperature range required by
the aerosol-generation article 100 for forming aerosols. Because the dielectric constant
of the dielectric material may change as the temperature changes, temperature measurement
can be implemented by detecting changes of the dielectric constant of the dielectric
material. The Curie temperature (Tc) is also referred to as a Curie point, which refers
to a temperature at which the spontaneous magnetization intensity in a magnetic material
is reduced to zero, and refers to a critical point that a ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic
substance is transformed into a paramagnetic substance. When the temperature is the
Curie temperature, the dielectric constant of the dielectric material is maximized.
By designing the Curie temperature of the dielectric material to be within the temperature
range required by the aerosol-generation article 100 for forming aerosols, the sensitivity
of the first temperature sensor 120 can be improved.
[0062] Optionally, the dielectric material is a solid dielectric material. In some embodiments,
the dielectric material is a ferroelectric material. In an embodiment, the dielectric
material is at least one selected from the group consisting of niobate, zirconate,
titanate, bismuthate, and any combination thereof. In an optional specific example,
the dielectric material is at least one selected from the group consisting of NaNb03,
K0.5Na0.5NbO3, 0.96K0.5Na0.5NbO3-0.04Bi0.5Na0.5ZrO3, and any combination thereof.
It may be understood that, the dielectric material is not limited to the foregoing,
and other dielectric materials may also be selected according to a specific situation.
It may be understood that, in some other embodiments, the first temperature sensor
120 may further include other components in addition to the solid dielectric material.
Certainly, the dielectric material is not limited to the solid dielectric material
and may also be a liquid dielectric material.
[0063] In some embodiments, the temperature required by the aerosol-generation substrate
110 for forming aerosols ranges from 250°C to 450°C; and the Curie temperature of
the dielectric material ranges from 250°C to 450°C. Further, the temperature required
by the aerosol-generation substrate 110 for forming aerosols ranges from 250°C to
400°C; and the Curie temperature of the dielectric material ranges from 250°C to 400°C.
Further, the temperature required by the aerosol-generation article 100 for forming
aerosols ranges from 200°C to 350°C; and the Curie temperature of the dielectric material
ranges from 200°C to 350°C. In an embodiment, the temperature required by the aerosol-generation
substrate 110 for forming aerosols ranges from 250°C to 400°C, and the Curie temperature
of the dielectric material is 400°C.
[0064] In some embodiments, the first temperature sensor 120 is arranged in the aerosol-generation
substrate 110. In this case, the first temperature sensor 120 characterizes a temperature
inside the aerosol-generation substrate 110. In an embodiment, the first temperature
sensor 120 is in a shape of a rod or a sheet. In this case, the first temperature
sensor 120 is inserted in the aerosol-generation substrate 110. Further, an acute
angle is formed between a length direction of the first temperature sensor 120 and
a length direction of the aerosol-generation article 100. In the embodiment shown
in FIG. 7, the length direction of the first temperature sensor 120 is parallel to
the length direction of the aerosol-generation article 100. In another embodiment,
the first temperature sensor 120 is in a shape of particles, powders, or pieces. In
this case, the first temperature sensor 120 is distributed in the aerosol-generation
substrate 110.
[0065] In some other embodiments, the first temperature sensor 120 is arranged on a surface
of the aerosol-generation substrate 110. Specifically, the aerosol-generation substrate
110 is a substrate with a shape (for example, a sheet shape or a column shape), which
is formed by powder-shaped, particle-shaped, and/or wire-shaped, etc., fine materials
through a forming process; and the first temperature sensor 120 is arranged on an
outer surface of the aerosol-generation substrate 110. In this case, the first temperature
sensor 120 characterizes a temperature outside the aerosol-generation substrate 110.
[0066] In some other embodiments, the first temperature sensor 120 is arranged on a surface
of the packaging layer and close to the aerosol-generation substrate 110. In this
case, the first temperature sensor 120 characterizes a temperature outside the aerosol-generation
substrate 110. In an embodiment, the first temperature sensor 120 is arranged on an
outer surface of the packaging layer. In another embodiment, the first temperature
sensor 120 is arranged on an inner surface of the packaging layer.
[0067] Specifically, to implement temperature control, in addition to that the aerosol-generation
article 100 includes the first temperature sensor 120, the electronic vaporizer 200
further includes a detection module and a controller. The detection module is configured
to detect the changes of the dielectric constant of the aerosol-generation article
100 arranged in the alternating electric field and feed back a detection result to
the controller. The controller is configured to control the output of the alternating
voltage generator according to the detection result, to control the temperature of
the aerosol-generation substrate 110, thereby preventing the aerosol-generation article
100 from generating a burnt flavor due to an excessively high temperature of the aerosol-generation
substrate 110. It may be understood that, the detection module may directly detect
the dielectric constant of the aerosol-generation article 100 arranged in the alternating
electric field, or may indirectly obtain the dielectric constant of the aerosol-generation
article 100 arranged in the alternating electric field by detecting a parameter related
to the dielectric constant. For example, the changes of the dielectric constant of
the aerosol-generation article 100 is detected by detecting capacitance changes of
the equivalent capacitor formed by the first electrode 210, the second electrode 220,
and the aerosol-generation article 100 arranged between the first electrode 210 and
the second electrode 220 or a resonance frequency of a resonance circuit in which
the equivalent capacitor is located.
[0068] In some embodiments, the detection module is configured to detect the capacitance
changes of the equivalent capacitor formed by the first electrode 210, the second
electrode 220, and the aerosol-generation article 100 arranged between the first electrode
210 and the second electrode 220. The changes of the dielectric constant of the aerosol-generation
article 100 are detected by detecting the capacitance changes of the equivalent capacitor.
Specifically, the detection module is configured to detect a capacitance of the equivalent
capacitor and feed back a detection result to the controller; and the controller matches
the detection result fed back by the detection module with a preset heating program
to implement heating control. In this case, the controller is electrically connected
to the alternating voltage generator, and the controller is configured to control
the output of the alternating voltage generator according to the capacitance changes
of the equivalent capacitor, to implement temperature control during heating. In this
case, the principle that the controller obtains the temperature of the aerosol-generation
substrate 110 lies in that: there is a correspondence between the dielectric constant
of the dielectric material of the first temperature sensor 120 and the temperature,
and there is a correspondence between the capacitance of the equivalent capacitor
and the dielectric constant of the dielectric material of the first temperature sensor
120 in the equivalent capacitor. Therefore, the temperature of the aerosol-generation
substrate 110 that is sensed by the first temperature sensor 120 can be obtained by
detecting the capacitance of the equivalent capacitor. Specifically, the controller
stores a dielectric constant-temperature characteristic curve of the dielectric material
of the first temperature sensor 120. It may be understood that, when the dielectric
constant-temperature characteristic curve of the dielectric material of the first
temperature sensor 120 is stored in the controller, changes of dielectric constants
of other components of the aerosol-generation article 100 with the temperature in
the alternating electric field can be negligible. It may be understood that, in some
other embodiments, the controller is not limited to storing only the dielectric constant-temperature
characteristic curve of the dielectric material of the first temperature sensor 120,
and may also store a dielectric constant-temperature characteristic curve of a composite
material formed by the dielectric material and other related materials, provided that
the temperature of the aerosol-generation substrate 110 can be reflected. Certainly,
in this case, the changes of the dielectric constants of other components other than
the dielectric material of the first temperature sensor 120 of the aerosol-generation
article 100 with the temperature are not specifically limited herein.
[0069] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, one first electrodes 210 and one second electrodes
220 are provided. In some other embodiments, a plurality of first electrodes 210 are
arranged at intervals, and a plurality of second electrodes 220 are arranged at intervals.
The plurality of first electrodes 210 and the corresponding second electrodes 220
are configured to cooperatively form equivalent capacitors at different positions
on the aerosol-generation article 100. The detection module detects dielectric constants
at different positions on the aerosol-generation article 100 by detecting capacitances
of the equivalent capacitors at different positions, and thus the controller can comprehensively
adjust the temperature of the aerosol-generation substrate 110. It may be understood
that, the detection module may detect the capacitances of the equivalent capacitors
at different positions at the same time, or may detect the capacitances of the equivalent
capacitors at different positions sequentially within a specific time range. In the
embodiment shown in FIG. 8, three first electrodes 210 and three second electrodes
220 are provided. It may be understood that, in some other embodiments, the number
of the first electrodes 210 is not limited to three and may also be any other integer
greater than one; and the number of the second electrodes 220 is also not limited
to three and may also be any other integer greater than one.
[0070] In some embodiments, the detection module is configured to detect changes of a resonance
frequency of a resonance circuit in which the equivalent capacitor is located. The
changes of the dielectric constant of the aerosol-generation article 100 is obtained
by detecting the changes of the resonance frequency of the resonance circuit in which
the equivalent capacitor is located. Specifically, the electronic vaporizer 200 further
includes an inductance coil. The power source, the inductance coil, and the equivalent
capacitor form the resonance circuit; the detection module is configured to detect
the resonance frequency of the resonance circuit and feed back a detection result
to the controller; and the controller matches the detection result fed back by the
detection module with a preset heating program, to implement heating control. In this
case, the principle that the controller obtains the temperature of the aerosol-generation
substrate 110 lies in that: there is a correspondence between the dielectric constant
of the dielectric material of the first temperature sensor 120 and the temperature,
there is a correspondence between the capacitance of the equivalent capacitor and
the dielectric constant of the dielectric material of the first temperature sensor
120 in the equivalent capacitor, and there is a correspondence between the resonance
frequency of the resonance circuit and the capacitance of the equivalent capacitor.
Therefore, the temperature of the aerosol-generation substrate 110 that is sensed
by the first temperature sensor 120 can be obtained by detecting the resonance frequency
of the resonance circuit.
[0071] Further, because the temperature change in the aerosol-generation substrate is apparent
when aerosols formed by the aerosol-generation article 100 are inhaled, and the change
can be sensed by the first temperature sensor 120, and can be reflected by the resonance
frequency (the resonance frequency may jump apparently), the number of times of inhalation
can be counted according to peaks and troughs of the characteristic change of the
resonance frequency, and an output of an alternating voltage generator is adjusted
according to the counted number of times of inhalation to improve the taste of the
aerosols. Therefore, in some embodiments, the electronic vaporizer 200 further includes
an inhalation counting module. The inhalation counting module is configured to collect
the number of peaks and/or troughs of the resonance frequency, calculate the number
of times of inhalation, and feed back the number of times of inhalation to the controller.
In this case, the controller is further configured to control the output of the alternating
voltage generator according to a counting result fed back by the inhalation counting
module.
[0072] Specifically, the heating program includes a warming program and a cooling program.
When a temperature corresponding to the detection result (the capacitance of the equivalent
capacitor, the dielectric constant, or the resonance frequency) fed back by the detection
module and received by the controller is lower than a preset cooling temperature,
the controller controls the alternating voltage generator to output normally, that
is, the warming program is run; and when the temperature corresponding to the detection
result fed back by the detection module and received by the controller is higher than
or equal to the preset cooling temperature, the controller controls the alternating
voltage generator to reduce the output, that is, the cooling program is run.
[0073] In some embodiments, the controller is further configured to control a heating start
program. Specifically, when the aerosol-generation article 100 is arranged between
the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 220 to form an equivalent capacitor,
the detection module detects the dielectric constant of the aerosol-generation article
100 arranged between the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 220 and feeds
back a detection result to the controller, and the controller matches the detection
result fed back by the detection module with a preset startup parameter. In responds
to that the detection result matches the preset startup parameter, the heating program
is started; and in responds to that the detection result does not match the preset
startup parameter, the heating program is not started. The heating start program is
controlled by the controller, so that the heating program is started only after the
aerosol-generation article 100 is identified by the electronic vaporizer 200 as a
heatable aerosol-generation article, thereby preventing improper heating and improving
the user experience. Meanwhile, the electronic vaporizer 200 includes the corresponding
heatable aerosol-generation article 100, which also achieves an anti-counterfeiting
effect. It may be understood that, the preset startup parameter refers to a range
in consideration of application scenarios of the aerosol-generation article 100. It
may be understood that, similarly, when the controller is further configured to control
the heating start program, the parameter detected by the detection module is also
not limited to the dielectric constant of the aerosol-generation article 100 arranged
between the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 220, and may also be other
parameters related to the dielectric constant, such as the capacitance of the equivalent
capacitor or the resonance frequency of the resonance circuit in which the equivalent
capacitor is located that can indirectly reflect the dielectric constant.
[0074] In the foregoing embodiments, the identification is implemented by using the detection
module of the electronic vaporizer 200 to detect the capacitance or the resonance
frequency corresponding to the dielectric constant of the aerosol-generation article
arranged between the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 220. It may be understood
that, in some other embodiments, the electronic vaporizer 200 identifying the aerosol-generation
article 100 may alternatively be implemented through additionally arranging an identifying
material (for example, an identifying label) on the aerosol-generation article 100
and arranging a corresponding identifying module on the electronic vaporizer 200.
For example, the aerosol-generation article 100 further includes an identifying material
adapted to the electronic vaporizer 200. In some embodiments, the identifying material
is arranged in the aerosol-generation substrate 110 or arranged on a surface of the
aerosol-generation substrate 110. In some other embodiments, the identifying material
is arranged on the packaging layer. For example, the identifying material is arranged
on an outer surface or an inner surface of the packaging layer. It may be understood
that, specific components of the identifying material are not specifically limited,
provided that the identifying material can be adapted to the identifying module of
the electronic vaporizer 200. Certainly, in some embodiments, if the electronic vaporizer
200 is not required to have an identifying function, the electronic vaporizer 200
also does not need to include the corresponding identifying module, and the aerosol-generation
article 100 also does not need to be provided with the identifying material.
[0075] In some embodiments, the electronic vaporizer 200 further includes a second temperature
sensor configured to sense a temperature of the aerosol-generation article. In an
embodiment, the principle that the second temperature sensor senses the temperature
of the aerosol-generation substrate 110 is the same as the principle of the first
temperature sensor 120 in the aerosol-generation article 100. In this case, the second
temperature sensor is made of a material same as the first temperature sensor 120
described above. Specifically, the second temperature sensor is arranged on the first
electrode 210 and/or the second electrode 220 and arranged in a cavity. If a position
relationship between the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 220 is that
the first electrode 210 is arranged in the second electrode 220, for example, as shown
in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, or FIG. 3, when the second temperature sensor is arranged on the
first electrode 210, the second temperature sensor is configured to characterize a
temperature inside the aerosol-generation substrate; and when the second temperature
sensor is arranged on the second electrode 220, the second temperature sensor is configured
to characterize a temperature outside the aerosol-generation substrate. If the first
electrode 210 and the second electrode 220 are arranged opposite to each other, the
second temperature sensor characterizes a temperature outside the aerosol-generation
substrate 110. It may be understood that, in some other embodiments, the second temperature
sensor may sense the temperature through other principles, provided that there is
a corresponding configuration in this case. Certainly, the second temperature sensor
may be arranged on both the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 220.
[0076] In addition, it may be understood that, when the aerosol-generation article 100 includes
the first temperature sensor 120, and the electronic vaporizer 200 includes the second
temperature sensor, positions of the first temperature sensor 120 and the second temperature
sensor do not conflict with each other. For example, when the position relationship
between the first electrode 210 and the second electrode 220 is shown in FIG. 3 or
FIG. 4 and the second temperature sensor is arranged on the first electrode 210, the
first temperature sensor 120 of the aerosol-generation article 100 is away from a
region close to the first electrode 210, where the second temperature sensor is accommodated
in the cavity. Certainly, when the aerosol-generation article 100 includes the first
temperature sensor 120, the second temperature sensor of the electronic vaporizer
200 can be omitted.
[0077] The above vaporization system 10 includes the aerosol-generation article 100 and
the electronic vaporizer 200 adapted to the aerosol-generation article 100. The electronic
vaporizer 200 matches the aerosol-generation article 100, and the electronic vaporizer
200 generates the alternating electric field to cause the aerosol-generation substrate
110 to form aerosols through vaporization. The above vaporization system 10 at least
includes the following advantages:
- (1) High heat generation efficiency. Because the aerosol-generation article 100 generates
heat by itself (the aerosol-generation substrate 110 and/or the heating-assisting
material generates heat) under the action of the alternating electric field, when
compared with a vaporization system in which the aerosol-generation substrate is heated
by a component other than the aerosol-generation article through heat conduction,
the heat generation efficiency of the present invention is high.
- (2) Uniform heat generation and high heat generation speed. Because the heat is generated
from the inside of a substance, an object in an electric field can be heated uniformly,
and the object can have the same temperature from inside to outside, thereby improving
the taste of the aerosol-generation article 100 and also improving the utilization
of the aerosol-generation article 100.
- (3) Immediate heating when powered on and immediate stop when powered off. Because
at a specific frequency, loss factors of various substances are different, and electric
field energy absorbed by the substances is also different, so that the aerosol-generation
article 100 can be heated in a targeted manner, thereby greatly improving the heating
efficiency and reducing power consumption.
- (4) Easy cleaning of the electronic vaporizer 200. When compared with arranging a
heat generation body in a conventional electronic vaporizer, the vaporization system
10 implements vaporization through the heat generated by the aerosol-generation article
100. Therefore, the heat generation body does not need to be arranged in the electronic
vaporizer 200, and the inhalation taste is prevented from being affected by residues
deposited on the heat generation body. In addition, because the electronic vaporizer
200 may not be provided with the heat generation body, the electronic vaporizer is
easier to clean.

concise description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the

do not conflict with each other, the combinations of the technical features are considered
as falling within the scope described in this specification.

which is for specific and detailed understanding of the technical solutions of the
present invention, but cannot therefore be understood as a limitation to the patent
