TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present application relates generally to the technical field of heat-not-burn
cigarette devices, and more particularly, to a heat generating body, a heat generating
assembly and a heating device.
BACKGROUND
[0003] A heat-not-burn cigarette device mainly bakes tobacco at low a temperature ranging
from 200 °C to 400 °C, so as to produce smoke without a large number of harmful substances
brought by pyrolysis. Currently, the heat-not-burn cigarette device mainly generates
heat through a heat generating body to heat tobacco or a cartridge. However, during
actual use, in an initial heating stage of a conventional heat generating body, a
temperature is prone to a large deviation from a planned temperature, resulting in
a mismatch with a baking temperature of the tobacco or cartridge and poor smoking
experience.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0028] To facilitate understanding of the present application, a more comprehensive description
of the present application will be given below. The present application may be implemented
in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather,
these embodiments are provided to make the contents disclosed in the present application
more fully understood.
[0029] It is to be noted that, when an element is referred to as "fixed to" another element,
it may be directly on the another element or one or more intermediate element may
exist therebetween. When one element is referred to as "connected to" another element,
it may be directly on the another element or one or more intermediate element may
exist therebetween. The orientation or position relationship, when indicated by the
terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right", "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer",
"bottom", etc., is based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the
accompanying drawings and are intended to facilitate the description only, rather
than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a particular
orientation or be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore
cannot be interpreted as limiting the present application. In addition, the terms
"first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only, which cannot be construed
as indicating or implying a relative importance.
[0030] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the
same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which
the present application belongs. The terms used in the specification of the present
application are intended only to describe particular embodiments and are not intended
to limit the present application.
[0031] Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, an implementation of the present application provides
a heat generating assembly 10. The heat generating assembly 10 includes a mounting
seat 101 and a heat generating body 100 mounted on the mounting seat 101.
[0032] Specifically, referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the heat generating body 100 includes
a base body 110 and a heat generating circuit 130 and a temperature measuring circuit
150 that are arranged on the base body 110. The heat generating circuit 130 and the
temperature measuring circuit 150 are independent of each other.
[0033] The base body 110 is configured to provide support for the heat generating circuit
130 and the temperature measuring circuit 150. The base body 110 has a bottom surface
115. The base body 110 includes a body 111 and an insulating layer 113. The heat generating
circuit 130 and the temperature measuring circuit 150 are located on the insulating
layer 113. The body 111 includes a base part 111a and a tip part 111b connected to
the base part 111a. The base part 111a is in a shape of a column, the tip part 111b
extends in a direction away from the base part 111a, and the width of the cross section
of the tip part 111b gradually decreases in a direction away from the base part 111a.
The base part 111a serves as a support for the insulating layer 113. The arrangement
of the tip part 111b facilitates insertion of the heat generating body 100 into a
to-be-heated object (e.g., tobacco). In an optional specific example, the base part
111a is in a shape of a cylinder, a triangular prism, or a quadrangular prism. Certainly,
in some other embodiments, the base part 111a is not limited to the above shapes,
which may also be in other shapes. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, a longitudinal
section of the base part 111a is in a shape of a rectangle, and a longitudinal section
of the tip part 111b is in a shape of an isosceles triangle. Certainly, in other embodiments,
the longitudinal section of the tip part 111b is not limited to the shape of the isosceles
triangle, which may also be in a shape of another triangle.
[0034] In some embodiments, the base part 111a has a hollow structure. The base part 111a
having the hollow structure can reduce a weight of the heat generating body 100. Meanwhile
transfer of heat to an electrode arrangement area 117 can be reduced, and the utilization
rate of the heat can be increased.
[0035] In some embodiments, a region of the base part 111a away from the tip part 111b is
provided with a blind hole. Further, the blind hole is close to the mounting seat
101. The arrangement of the blind hole on the base part 111a close to the mounting
seat 101 can also reduce transfer of the heat to the mounting seat 101, increase the
utilization rate of the heat, and prolong the service life of the mounting seat 101
and other components in the mounting seat 101.
[0036] Specifically, the body 111 is a ceramic body 111, for example, a zirconia ceramic
body 111, an alumina ceramic body 111, or the like. Further, the base part 111a is
a ceramic base part 111a, and the tip part 111b is a ceramic tip part 111b. Certainly,
in some other embodiments, the material of the base part 111a is not limited to ceramic,
which may also be other materials, such as stainless steel. The material of the tip
part 111b is not limited to ceramic, either, which may also be other materials, such
as stainless steel.
[0037] The insulating layer 113 is wound on the base part 111a. The insulating layer 113
provides support for the heat generating circuit 130 and the temperature measuring
circuit 150, and it also has an insulation effect. Specifically, the insulating layer
113 is wound on an outer surface of the body 111. In the embodiment shown in FIG.
3, the insulating layer 113 is wound on an outer surface of the base part 111a. In
some embodiments, firstly, the heat generating circuit 130 and the temperature measuring
circuit 150 are prepared on the insulating layer 113 by silk screen printing. Then,
the insulating layer 113 is wound (e.g., tape-cast) on the base part 111a and sintered
together with the base part. This operation can improve the efficiency of preparation
of the heat generating circuit 130 and the temperature measuring circuit 150 on the
columnar base part 111a, and prevent the problem that it is difficult to operate the
columnar body 111 due to small sizes of the heat generating circuit 130 and the temperature
measuring circuit 150.
[0038] Specifically, the insulating layer 113 is a glass ceramic insulating layer 113 or
a low-temperature ceramic insulating layer 113. The glass ceramic insulating layer
113 is made of microcrystalline glass. The low-temperature ceramic insulating layer
113 is made of low-temperature ceramic. In an optional specific example, the insulating
layer 113 is a glass ceramic insulating layer 113, and the insulating layer 113 is
filled with calcium borosilicate glass-silicon oxide. In another optional specific
example, the insulating layer 113 is a barium tin borate ceramic insulating layer
113 or a barium zirconate borate ceramic insulating layer 113, and the insulating
layer 113 is made of barium tin borate ceramic or barium zirconate borate ceramic.
Certainly, it may be understood that the material of the insulating layer 113 is not
limited to the above, which may also be other materials that can serve as the insulating
layer 113 and can be wound on the body 111. Herein, the low-temperature ceramic is
ceramic at sintering temperatures below 1000 °C. Further, the material of the base
part 111a is different from that of the insulating layer 113. For example, a material
with higher ductility than the base part 111a is selected for the insulating layer
113, and a material with higher hardness than the insulating layer 113 is selected
for the base part 111a.
[0039] In this implementation, the insulating layer 113 has a thickness ranging from 0.02
mm to 0.5 mm. Optionally, the thickness of the insulating layer 113 is 0.02 mm, 0.05
mm, 0.1 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm or 0.5 mm.
[0040] It may be understood that, in some embodiments, the insulating layer 113 may be omitted,
provided that the body 111 is made of an insulating material when the insulating layer
113 is omitted.
[0041] Referring to FIG. 3 or FIG. 4, the base body 110 is columnar, the base body 110 is
provided with a heat generating area 119 and an electrode arrangement area 117 adjacent
to the heat generating area 119, the electrode arrangement area 117 and the heat generating
area 119 are arranged in a length direction of the base body 110, and the electrode
arrangement area 117 is closer to the bottom surface 115 than the heat generating
area 119. The heat generating area 119 is a heat generating region of the heat generating
body 100, and the heat generating circuit 130 is located in the heat generating area
119. The electrode arrangement area 117 is a region where the heat generating body
100 is mounted on the mounting seat 101. Further, the heat generating area 119 includes
a high-temperature area 119a. The high-temperature area 119a is a region where the
heat generating body 100 is operating at a relatively high temperature. In one embodiment,
the high-temperature area 119a is spaced from the electrode arrangement area 117.
In another embodiment, the high-temperature area 119a is adjacent to the electrode
arrangement area 117.
[0042] Specifically, for the heat generating body 100 with the base body 110 in a shape
of a column or a strip sheet, the ratio of the length (a in FIG. 3) of the high-temperature
area 119a in the length direction of the base body 110 to the sum (b in FIG. 3) of
the lengths of the heat generating area 119 and the electrode arrangement area 117
in the length direction of the base body 110 is 1: (2 to 5). Further, the ratio of
the length of the high-temperature area 119a in the length direction of the base body
110 to the length (c in FIG. 3) of the heat generating area 119 in the length direction
of the base body 110 is 1: (1.5 to 4). In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the ratio
of the length of the high-temperature area 119a in the length direction of the base
body 110 to the sum of the lengths of the heat generating area 119 and the electrode
arrangement area 117 in the length direction of the base body 110 is 1:3. The ratio
of the length of the high-temperature area 119a in the length direction of the base
body 110 to the length of the heat generating area 119 in the length direction of
the base body 110 is 1:2.
[0043] Referring to FIG. 3, the heat generating circuit 130 is attached to the insulating
layer 113. The heat generating circuit 130 is a heat producing part of the heat generating
body 100. The heat generating circuit 130 includes a heat generating part 131 and
a heat generating electrode 133 electrically connected to the heat generating part
131. The heat generating electrode 133 is a component configured to connect the heat
generating part 131 with a power supply. The heat generating part 131 is attached
to a surface on one side of the insulating layer 113 away from the body 111. The heat
generating part 131 forms the heat generating area 119 on the insulating layer 113.
The heat generating electrode 133 is also attached to the surface of the insulating
layer 113. The heat generating electrode 133 includes a first electrode 133a and a
second electrode 133b. The first electrode 133a and the second electrode 133b are
also located on a surface of the base body 110 and close to the mounting seat 101.
The first electrode 133a is electrically connected to an end of the heat generating
part 131, and the second electrode 133b is electrically connected to another end of
the heat generating part 131. Certainly, the first electrode 133a and the second electrode
133b are arranged spaced apart to connect two electrodes (anode and cathode) of the
power supply respectively. In other implementations, the heat generating circuit 130
and the temperature measuring circuit 150 are arranged on a same surface of the insulating
layer 113, and the heat generating circuit 130 and the temperature measuring circuit
150 are attached to the outer surface of the base part 111a.
[0044] Specifically, the heat generating part 131 includes a heat generating wire 131a.
The heat generating wire 131a has one end electrically connected to the first electrode
133a and another end connected to the second electrode 133b. Further, the heat generating
wire 131a is connected to the first electrode 133a and the second electrode 133b by
silk screen printing. In an optional specific example, the heat generating part 131
includes a U-shaped heat generating wire 131a. The heat generating wire 131a is attached
to a surface of the insulating layer 113 away from the body 111. The heat generating
wire 131a has one end electrically connected to the first electrode 133a and another
end connected to the second electrode 133b. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the
heat generating part 131 is two heat generating wires 131a spaced on the insulating
layer 113. The two heat generating wires 131a are both U-shaped. One of the heat generating
wires 131a is located on an inner side of the other of the heat generating wires 131a.
The first electrode 133a and the second electrode 133b are both U-shaped. Two ends
of the first electrode 133a are electrically connected to an end of the two heat generating
wires 131a respectively. Two ends of the second electrode 133b are electrically connected
to another end of the two heat generating wires 131a respectively. It may be understood
that, in other embodiments, the number of the heat generating wire 131a is not limited
to the above, which may also be other numbers. When a plurality of heat generating
wires 131a are provided, the plurality of heat generating wires 131a are spaced, and
each heat generating wire has one end electrically connected to the first electrode
133a and another end connected to the second electrode 133b. Certainly, the heat generating
wire 131a is not limited to the U shape, which may also be in other shapes, such as
a V shape, an S shape, and the like. The first electrode 133a and the second electrode
133b are not limited to the U shape, which may also be in a strip shape or an L shape.
[0045] In one embodiment, the heat generating area 119 includes a high-temperature area
119a and a non-high-temperature area. The width of the heat generating wire 131a in
the high-temperature area 119a is less than that of the heat generating wire 131a
in the non-high-temperature area. The base body 110 is in a shape of a column or a
strip sheet. The length of the high-temperature area 119a is the length of the heat
generating wire 131a with a relatively small width in the length direction of the
base body 110. The width of the high-temperature area 119a is the width of the base
body 110.
[0046] Specifically, the heat generating wire 131a includes an electrode section, a middle
section, and a top section connected successively. The electrode section is close
to the heat generating electrode 133, and the top section is close to the temperature
measuring part 151. In an optional specific example, the width of the middle section
is less than each of the widths of the electrode section and the top section (the
width of the middle section is minimum). The width of the middle section of the heat
generating wire 131a is set to less than the each of the widths of the electrode section
and the top section, so that the heat generated by the heat generating body 100 is
more concentrated in the middle section and diffuses to the top section and the electrode
section, which is in line with smoke taste during the heating, and a region close
to the heat generating electrode 133 is at a relatively low temperature, preventing
influence on or damage to the mounting seat due to a high temperature. That is, when
the width of the middle section of the heat generating wire 131a is less than the
each of the widths of the electrode section and the top section, the high-temperature
area 119a is a region where the middle section is located. The length of the high-temperature
area 119a is the length of the middle section in the length direction of the base
body 110, and the width of the high-temperature area 119a is the width of the base
body 110. In this case, the high-temperature area 119a is spaced from the electrode
arrangement area 117.
[0047] In another optional specific example, the width of the top section of the heat generating
wire 131a is less than the widths of the electrode section and the middle section,
so that the heat generated by the heat generating body 100 is concentrated in the
top section. The high-temperature area 119a is a region where the top section is located.
The length of the high-temperature area 119a is the length of the top section in the
length direction of the base body 110, and the width of the high-temperature area
119a is the width of the base body 110. In this case, the high-temperature area 119a
is spaced from the electrode arrangement area 117.
[0048] In another optional specific example, the width of the electrode section of the heat
generating wire 131a is less than each of the widths of the middle section and the
top section, so that the heat generated by the heat generating body 100 is concentrated
in the electrode section. The high-temperature area 119a is a region where the electrode
section is located. The length of the high-temperature area 119a is the length of
the electrode section in the length direction of the base body 110, and the width
of the high-temperature area 119a is the width of the base body 110. In this case,
the high-temperature area 119a is adjacent to the electrode arrangement area 117.
[0049] Specifically, the heat generating part 131 is prepared from a high-resistivity resistance
paste. Specifically, the heat generating wire 131a is prepared from the high-resistivity
resistance paste. The heat generating part 131 may be formed by transferring the high-resistivity
resistance paste onto the insulating layer 113 by silk-screen printing a thick-film
paste, and then sintering. Specifically, the high-resistivity resistance paste for
preparing the heat generating part 131 includes at least one of Ni, Ag, Pd, Pt and
Ru. Further, the resistance paste for preparing the heat generating part 131 includes
Ni, an AgPd alloy, an AgPt alloy or an Ag-Ru alloy. Certainly, the high-resistivity
resistance paste for preparing the heat generating part 131 further includes a binder,
for example, an inorganic binder. It may be understood that the binder accounts for
a small proportion in the high-resistivity resistance paste. Certainly, the preparation
method for the heat generating part 131 is not limited thereto, which may also be
other common methods in the art.
[0050] In one embodiment, the sheet resistance of the heat generating part 131 ranges from
20 mΩ/□ to 200 mΩ/□. Further, the sheet resistance of the heat generating part 131
is 20 mΩ/□, 50 mΩ/□, 80 mΩ/□, 100 mΩ/□, 120 mΩ/□, 150 mΩ/□, 180 mΩ/□, or 200 mΩ/□.
[0051] In one embodiment, at room temperature, the resistance of the heat generating part
131 ranges from 0.5 Ω to 2 Ω. Further, at the room temperature, the resistance of
the heat generating part 131 ranges from 1 Ω to 2 Ω. Certainly, in other embodiments,
the resistance of the heat generating part 131 at the room temperature is not limited
to the above. The resistance of the heat generating part 131 may be set by adjusting
the material of the resistance paste for preparing the heat generating part 131, the
length of the heat generating part 131, the width of the heat generating part 131,
a thickness of the heat generating part 131, and a pattern of the heat generating
part 131 as required.
[0052] In one embodiment, the heat generating part 131 is a positive temperature coefficient
thermistor. By setting the heat generating part 131 as the positive temperature coefficient
thermistor, the heat generating part 131 can be rapidly heated, and after the temperature
reaches a certain value, the resistance of the heat generating part 131 rises sharply
due to the rise of the temperature, so that almost no current flows through the heat
generating part 131 and the heat generating part 131 stops generating heat, thereby
preventing the continuous excessively high temperature of the heat generating area
119.
[0053] Specifically, the heat generating electrode 133 is made of a low-resistivity resistance
paste. More specifically, the first electrode 133a and the second electrode 133b are
made of the low-resistivity resistance paste. Similarly, the heat generating electrode
133 may be formed by transferring the low-resistivity resistance paste onto the insulating
layer 113 by silk-screen printing a paste, and then sintering. Specifically, the low-resistivity
resistance paste for preparing the heat generating electrode 133 includes at least
one of Ag and gold (Au). In an optional specific example, the resistance paste for
preparing the heat generating electrode 133 includes Ag, Au, an Au alloy or an Ag
alloy. Certainly, the low-resistivity resistance paste for preparing the heat generating
electrode 133 further includes a binder, for example, an inorganic binder. It may
be understood that the binder accounts for a larger proportion in the low-resistivity
resistance paste than in the high-resistivity resistance paste. Certainly, the preparation
method for the heat generating electrode 133 is not limited thereto, which may also
be other common methods in the art.
[0054] In this implementation, the sheet resistance of the heat generating electrode 133
is no more than 5 mΩ/□. Further, the sheet resistance of the heat generating electrode
133 ranges from 1 mΩ/□ to 5 mΩ/□. The resistance of the heat generating electrode
133 is much less than that of the heat generating part 131. For example, the resistance
of the heat generating electrode 133 ranges from 0.1 Ω to 0.5 Ω. In this way, the
heat generating electrode 133 produces almost no heat when energized, reducing the
temperature of the mounting seat 101 and saving energy consumption.
[0055] Referring to FIG. 3, the temperature measuring circuit 150 is configured to feed
back a temperature of the heat generating body 100. The temperature measuring circuit
150 is attached to a surface on one side of the insulating layer 113 away from the
body 111. The temperature measuring circuit 150 and the heat generating circuit 130
are arranged spaced apart, so that the heat generating circuit 130 and the temperature
measuring circuit 150 are independent of each other. When the heat generating circuit
130 and the temperature measuring circuit 150 are arranged independently of each other,
the temperature measuring circuit 150 has less spontaneous heat and fewer miscellaneous
signals introduced by current heating, which is conducive to accurate control of electronic
components over the temperature.
[0056] Specifically, the temperature measuring circuit 150 includes a temperature measuring
part 151 and a temperature measuring electrode 153 electrically connected to the temperature
measuring part 151. The temperature measuring part 151 is a part of the temperature
measuring circuit 150 configured for temperature measurement. The temperature measuring
part 151 is within the high-temperature area 119a. The temperature measuring electrode
153 is a component configured to connect the temperature measuring part 151 with the
power supply. The temperature measuring electrode 153 is attached to the insulating
layer 113. When the high-temperature area 119a is spaced from the electrode arrangement
area 117, the temperature measuring electrode 153 extends from the heat generating
area 119 into the electrode arrangement area 117. When the high-temperature area 119a
is adjacent to the electrode arrangement area 117, the temperature measuring electrode
153 is entirely located in the electrode arrangement area 117. In an optional specific
example, an end of the temperature measuring electrode 153 close to the temperature
measuring part 151 is flush with an end of the heat generating electrode 133 close
to the heat generating part 131. The temperature measuring part 151 has resistance
TCR characteristics. That is, a specific correspondence exists between temperatures
and resistance. When a voltage is applied to the temperature measuring part 151 through
the power supply and an electronic control device, a specific current value is obtained,
so as to obtain a resistance value of the temperature measuring part 151, and then
the temperature of the heat generating body 100 is obtained through the resistance
value measured. More specifically, the temperature measuring electrode 153 includes
a third electrode 153a and a fourth electrode 153b. The third electrode 153a and the
fourth electrode 153b extend from the heat generating area 119a to the electrode arrangement
area 117. An end of the temperature measuring part 151 is electrically connected to
the third electrode 153a, and another end of the temperature measuring part 151 is
electrically connected to the fourth electrode 153b. In an optional specific example,
the temperature measuring part 151 is connected to the third electrode 153a and the
fourth electrode 153b by soldering.
[0057] On the heat generating body 100, the temperature of the heat generating body 100
generally decreases from the heat generating area 119 to the electrode arrangement
area 117 gradually, mainly because airflow flows from the electrode arrangement area
117 to the heat generating area 119 when a user smokes. That is, the electrode arrangement
area 117 is cooled first. On the other hand, due to the characteristics of heat conduction,
the heat at a relatively high position may be slightly more than that at a low position.
The temperature of the heat generating area 119 away from the electrode arrangement
area 117 is often higher than that of the heat generating area 119 close to the electrode
arrangement area 117. Therefore, the arrangement of the temperature measuring part
151 in the heat generating area 119 away from the electrode arrangement area 117 can
more accurately reflect the temperature of the heat generating body 100, so as to
facilitate more accurate control over a temperature in an initial heating stage, so
that the deviation between the temperature in the initial heating stage and a planned
temperature is smaller. Further, the temperature measuring part 151 is located in
the high-temperature area 119a. When the temperature measuring part 151 is located
in the high-temperature area 119a, a maximum temperature of the heat generating body
100 can be more accurately reflected, it is easier to control a voltage of a heat
generation circuit of the heat generating body 100, and heat generated by the heat
generating circuit 130 is reduced. Therefore, the deviation between an actual temperature
in the initial heating stage and a planned temperature is smaller, improving consistency
between the actual temperature in the initial heating stage and the planned temperature.
[0058] More specifically, the temperature measuring part 151 includes a temperature measuring
wire. In an embodiment in which the heat generating part 131 is a U-shaped heat generating
wire 131a, the temperature measuring part 151 is a temperature measuring wire. The
temperature measuring wire is away from the connection point between the heat generating
wire 131a and the first electrode 133a, the second electrode 133b (i.e., an opening
formed by two ends of the U-shaped heat generating wire 131a) and close to the bottom
of the U-shaped heat generating wire 131a, and the temperature measuring wire is on
an inner side of the U-shaped heat generating wire 131a. In an embodiment in which
the heat generating part 131 is provided with a plurality of heat generating wires
131a, one or more temperature measuring wires may be provided. Optionally, when one
temperature measuring wire is provided, the temperature measuring wire is arranged
in a high-temperature area 119a formed by the plurality of heat generating wires 131a.
When a plurality of temperature measuring wires are provided, the temperature measuring
wires are arranged spaced apart in the high-temperature area 119a formed by the plurality
of heat generating wires 131a.
[0059] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the temperature measuring wire is also U-shaped.
The high-temperature area 119a formed by the heat generating wires 131a is the heat
generating area 119 whose distance to the bottom surface 115 of the base body 110
is greater than 2/3 of the length of the base body. In the high-temperature area 119a,
the temperature measuring wire is located between two U-shaped heat generating wires
131a, and the temperature measuring wire is spaced from the two U-shaped heat generating
wires 131a. The third electrode 153a and the fourth electrode 153b on the surface
on the side of the insulating layer 113 away from the body 111 are strip-shaped. Part
of the third electrode 153a is located on an inner side of the first electrode 133a,
and part of the fourth electrode 153b is located on an inner side of the second electrode
133b.
[0060] Certainly, in other embodiments, the temperature measuring wire is not limited to
the U shape, which may also be in other shapes, such as a V shape, an S shape, and
the like. The third electrode 153a and the fourth electrode 153b are not limited to
the strip shape, which may also be in other shapes, such as an L shape.
[0061] Specifically, the temperature measuring part 151 is prepared from a high-resistivity
resistance paste. More specifically, the temperature measuring wire may also be prepared
from the high-resistivity resistance paste. The temperature measuring part 151 may
be formed by transferring the high-resistivity resistance paste onto the insulating
layer 113 by silk-screen printing a thick-film paste, and then sintering. In this
implementation, the high-resistivity resistance paste for preparing the temperature
measuring part 151 includes at least one of Ni, Ag, Pd, Pt, and Ru. Further, the resistance
paste for preparing the temperature measuring part 151 includes Ni, an AgPd alloy,
an AgPt alloy or an Ag-Ru alloy. Certainly, the high-resistivity resistance paste
for preparing the temperature measuring part 151 further includes a binder, for example,
an inorganic binder. It may be understood that the binder accounts for a small proportion
in the high-resistivity resistance paste. Certainly, the preparation method for the
temperature measuring part 151 is not limited thereto, which may also be other common
methods in the art.
[0062] In one embodiment, the sheet resistance of the temperature measuring part 151 ranges
from 20 mΩ/□ to 200 mΩ/□. Further, the sheet resistance of the temperature measuring
part 151 is 20 mΩ/□, 50 mΩ/□, 80 mΩ/□, 100 mΩ/□, 120 mΩ/□, 150 mΩ/□, 180 mΩ/□, or
200 mΩ/□.
[0063] Since the temperature measuring part 151 does not generate heat, initial resistance
thereof is generally larger than the resistance of the temperature measuring part
151. In one embodiment, at room temperature, the resistance of the temperature measuring
part 151 ranges from 1.5 Ω to 20 Ω. Further, at the room temperature, the resistance
of the temperature measuring part 151 ranges from 10 Ω to 20 Ω. Certainly, in other
embodiments, the resistance of the temperature measuring part 151 at the room temperature
is not limited to the above. The resistance of the temperature measuring part 151
may be set by adjusting the material of the resistance paste for preparing the temperature
measuring part 151, the length of the temperature measuring part 151, the width of
the temperature measuring part 151, a thickness of the temperature measuring part
151, and a pattern of the temperature measuring part 151 as required.
[0064] In one embodiment, the temperature measuring part 151 is a positive temperature coefficient
thermistor. By providing the temperature measuring part 151 as the positive temperature
coefficient thermistor, the resistance value varies with temperature over a larger
span, and a temperature of a surrounding environment can be more accurately reflected.
Further, the resistance temperature coefficient of the heat generating part 131 is
less than that of the temperature measuring part 151. The resistance temperature coefficient
of the heat generating part 131 being less than that of the temperature measuring
part 151 enables heat generating and temperature measuring functions to be separated,
and the heat generating circuit 130 has relatively low energy consumption and low
costs. In an optional specific example, the material of the heat generating part 131
is selected from at least one of a nickel-chromium alloy, a tantalum alloy, a gold-chromium
alloy and a nickel-phosphorus alloy. By use of the above materials, the resistance
temperature coefficient of the heat generating part 131 can be relatively low. In
this case, the resistance value of the heat generating part 131 varies slightly with
temperature, the resistance value is stable and reliable, and the heat generation
is stable. The material of the temperature measuring part 151 is selected from at
least one of copper (Cu), Ni, manganese (Mn), and Ru. Further, the material of the
temperature measuring part 151 is selected from one of Cu, Ni, Mn, and Ru. According
to the TCR characteristics, internal resistance of the temperature measuring part
151 increases as the temperature increases. The larger the resistance temperature
coefficient of the temperature measuring part 151 is, the more obvious the internal
resistance increases. A current in a temperature measuring circuit is more easily
measured by a current sensor when changing more, and a measurement result is more
accurate.
[0065] Specifically, the temperature measuring electrode 153 is also made of a low-resistivity
resistance paste. More specifically, the third electrode 153a and the fourth electrode
153b are also made of low-resistivity resistance pastes. The temperature measuring
electrode 153 may be formed by transferring the low-resistivity resistance paste onto
the insulating layer 113 by silk-screen printing a paste, and then sintering. Specifically,
the low-resistivity resistance paste for preparing the temperature measuring electrode
153 includes at least one of Ag and Au. In an optional specific example, the resistance
paste for preparing the temperature measuring electrode 153 includes Ag, Au, an Au
alloy or an Ag alloy. Certainly, the low-resistivity resistance paste for preparing
the temperature measuring electrode 153 further includes a binder, for example, an
inorganic binder. It may be understood that the binder accounts for a larger proportion
in the low-resistivity resistance paste than in the high-resistivity resistance paste.
Certainly, the preparation method for the temperature measuring electrode 153 is not
limited thereto, which may also be other common methods in the art.
[0066] In this implementation, the sheet resistance of the temperature measuring electrode
153 is no more than 5 mΩ/□. Further, the sheet resistance of the temperature measuring
electrode 153 ranges from 1 mΩ/□ to 5 mΩ/□. Resistance of the temperature measuring
electrode 153 is much less than that of the temperature measuring part 151. For example,
the resistance of the temperature measuring electrode 153 ranges from 0.1 Ω to 0.5
Ω. In this way, the temperature measuring electrode 153 generates almost no heat when
energized, reducing a temperature of the mounting seat 101 and saving energy consumption.
Referring to FIG. 2, the temperature measuring electrode 153 is further provided with
a lead wire 140. The lead wire 140 on the temperature measuring electrode 153 is configured
to electrically connect the power supply with the temperature measuring electrode
153. The heat generating electrode 133 is also provided with a lead wire 140. The
lead wire 140 on the heat generating electrode 133 is configured to electrically connect
the power supply with the heat generating electrode 133. The lead wire 140 on the
temperature measuring electrode 153 and the lead wire 140 on the heat generating electrode
133 are arranged spaced apart.
[0067] Specifically, the heat generating electrode 133 is soldered with a lead wire 140,
the temperature measuring electrode 153 is also soldered with a lead wire 140, and
a soldering point between the temperature measuring electrode 153 and the lead wire
140 and a soldering point between the heat generating electrode 133 and the lead wire
140 are both located in the mounting seat 101. A plane where the lead wire 140 on
the temperature measuring electrode 153 is located is not coplanar with a plane where
the lead wire 140 on the heat generating electrode 133 is located. The soldering point
between the temperature measuring electrode 153 and the lead wire 140 is closer to
the bottom surface 115 of the base body 110 than the soldering point between the heat
generating electrode 133 and the lead wire 140. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2,
the lead wire 140 of the temperature measuring electrode 153 and the heat generating
electrode 133 are located on different surfaces on the side of the insulating layer
113 away from the body 111. The temperature measuring electrode 153 has one part located
on the side of the insulating layer 113 away from the body 111 and the other part
located on the side of the insulating layer 113 close to the body 111. The temperature
measuring electrode 153 is connected to the lead wire 140 through an electrode located
on the side of the insulating layer 113 close to the body 111. In this implementation,
two heat generating electrodes 133 are provided, two temperature measuring electrodes
153 are provided, four lead wires are provided, and the two heat generating electrodes
133 and the two temperature measuring electrodes 153 are each connected to one lead
wire.
[0068] In some embodiments, the heat generating body 100 further includes a protective layer
170. The protective layer 170 is configured to protect the heat generating part 131,
the temperature measuring part 151, and the temperature measuring electrode 153 located
in the heat generating area 119. Specifically, the protective layer 170 is located
in the heat generating area 119. The protective layer covers the heat generating part
131, the entire temperature measuring part 151, and part of the temperature measuring
electrode 153. In this implementation, the protective layer 170 is a glaze layer.
When the protective layer 170 is a glaze layer, since the glaze layer has a smooth
surface, the protective layer 170 enables the heat generating body 100 to have an
effect of resisting adhesion of tobacco oil while protecting components in the heat
generating area 119, so that the to-be-heated object can be removed and inserted more
smoothly. In other embodiments, the material of the protective layer 170 is not limited
to glaze, which may also be other materials.
[0069] In an optional specific example, the protective layer 170 has a thickness ranging
from 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm. Certainly, when the thickness of the protective layer 170 is
greater than 0.5 mm, it is not conducive to transferring the heat of the heat generating
part 131 to the to-be-heated object. When the thickness of the protective layer 170
is less than 0.1 mm, the protective layer 170 may be damaged or easily detached.
[0070] In this implementation, the base part is in a shape of a cylinder, the base part
111a has a diameter ranging from 2 mm to 5 mm, the base part 111a has a length ranging
from 15 mm to 25 mm, and the body 111 has a length ranging from 18 mm to 30 mm. The
heat generating part 131 has a length ranging from 8 mm to 12 mm in a length direction
of the base part 111a, and the heat generating part 131 has a width ranging from 0.5
mm to 1.5 mm. In an optional specific example, the diameter of the base part 111a
is 3 mm, the length of the base part 111a is 16 mm, and the length of the body 111
is 20 mm. The length of the heat generating part 131 in the length direction of the
base part 111a is 10 mm, and the width of the heat generating part 131 is 0.8 mm.
Certainly, in other implementations, dimensions of the body 111, the base part 111a,
and the heat generating wire 131a are not limited to the above, which may also be
adjusted as required.
[0071] Referring to FIG. 3, a region from one side of the heat generating electrode 133
close to the heat generating part 131 to the bottom surface 115 of the base body 110
is the electrode arrangement area 117. The mounting seat 101 is located in the electrode
arrangement area 117. Referring to FIG. 4 to FIG. 7, the mounting seat 101 is fixed
to the heat generating body 100, the mounting seat 101 has a hollow structure, the
mounting seat 101 is fixedly connected to the base body 110 of the heat generating
body 100, and the connection point between the mounting seat 101 and the base body
110 is located on one side of the heat generating electrode 133 close to the bottom
surface 115. The connection point between the mounting seat 101 and the base body
110 is arranged on the side of the heat generating electrode 133 close to the bottom
surface 115, so that a part of the mounting seat 101 in contact with the base body
110 is away from the heat generating part 131 and closer to the bottom surface 115,
thereby reducing the influence of the heat of the heat generating part 131 on the
mounting seat 101 and prolonging the service life of the mounting seat 101.
[0072] More specifically, the connection point between the mounting seat 101 and the base
body 110 is located between the heat generating electrode 133 and the bottom surface
115, and the connection point between the mounting seat 101 and the base body 110
is spaced from the heat generating electrode 133 and the bottom surface 115. Alternatively,
the connection point between the mounting seat 101 and the base body 110 is on one
side close to the bottom surface 115 and adjacent to the heat generating electrode
133. Further, the clamping point or abutting point between the mounting seat 101 and
the base body 110 is located between the heat generating electrode 133 and the bottom
surface 115, and the clamping point or abutting point between the mounting seat 101
and the base body 110 is spaced from the heat generating electrode 133 and the bottom
surface 115. Alternatively, the clamping point or abutting point between the mounting
seat 101 and the base body 110 is on one side close to the bottom surface 115 and
adjacent to the heat generating electrode 133.
[0073] Referring to FIG. 7, the heat generating assembly 10 further includes a clamping
member 105. The clamping member 105 is arranged outside the base body 110 and is fixed
to the base body 110. The clamping member 105 is located in the mounting seat 101
and clamped with an inner wall of the mounting seat 101. The heat generating body
100 is fixed in the mounting seat 101 through cooperation between the clamping member
105 and the mounting seat 101. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, the clamping member
105 is located between the connection point between the heat generating electrode
133 and the lead wire and the connection point between the temperature measuring electrode
153 and the lead wire. Part of the temperature measuring electrode 153 is housed in
the mounting seat. Certainly, in other embodiments, the clamping member 105 may be
further at another position in the mounting seat 101. For example, the clamping member
105 is located between the temperature measuring electrode 153 and the bottom surface
115. Certainly, the clamping member 105 is provided with a through hole or slot for
the lead wire 140 to pass through. Optionally, the clamping member 105 is a flange.
In some embodiments, the clamping member 105 is integrally formed with the base body
110 of the heat generating body 100. Certainly, in other embodiments, the clamping
member 105 may be omitted. When the clamping member 105 is omitted, the heat generating
body 100 may be mounted on the mounting seat 101 by interference fit. Certainly, a
contact part between the base body 110 and the mounting seat 101 during the interference
fit is located on the side of the heat generating electrode 133 close to the bottom
surface.
[0074] Certainly, in other embodiments, the temperature measuring electrode 153 may also
be entirely housed in the mounting seat 101. It may be understood that, in some other
embodiments, the connection point between the mounting seat 101 and the base body
100 may also be located on the side of the heat generating electrode 133 close to
the heat generating part 131 or on the heat generating electrode 133. In this case,
the mounting seat 101 is closer to the heat generating part 131, which is easily affected
by heat and has a shortened service life.
[0075] Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the mounting seat 101 includes a mounting base 101a
and a mounting cover 101b. The mounting base 101a and the mounting cover 101b may
be movably connected or fixedly connected. Optionally, the mounting base 101a is clamped
with the mounting cover 101b. Certainly, through holes are provided on the mounting
base 101a and/or the mounting cover 101b for the lead wires 140 to be threaded out.
A plurality of lead wire slots is provided in the mounting seat 101a and/or the mounting
cover 101b. The lead wires 140 are arranged in different lead wire slots respectively,
so that the lead wires 140 are spaced apart. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the
heat generating part 131 is not arranged in the mounting seat 101, so that the influence
of the heat generating body 100 on the mounting seat 101 is further reduced. Certainly,
in some other embodiments, part of the heat generating part 131 may be arranged in
the mounting seat 101.
[0076] Referring to FIG. 7, the heat generating assembly 10 further includes a sealing member
103. The sealing member 103 is arranged outside the heat generating body 100. The
sealing member 103 is located at the connection point between the heat generating
part 131 and the heat generating electrode 133. The sealing member 103 is configured
to prevent the influence on the electrode in the mounting seat 101 due to the flowing
of a product formed after heating (e.g., atomized liquid generated by heating tobacco
or a cartridge) along the surface of the heat generating body 100 into the mounting
seat 101. Optionally, the sealing member 103 abuts against the mounting seat 101 and
is partially housed in the mounting seat 101. In an optional specific example, the
material of the sealing member 103 is silica gel. Certainly, in other embodiments,
the sealing member 103 may also be made of other materials.
[0077] Optionally, the sealing member 103 is in loose fit with the heat generating body
100, provided that it is difficult for the atomized liquid generated by heating the
tobacco or cartridge to enter the mounting seat 101 through a gap. For example, a
gap ranging from 0.5 mm to 2 mm exists between the sealing member 103 and the heat
generating body 100. Within the range of the gap, it is difficult for the atomized
liquid generated by heating the tobacco or cartridge to enter the mounting seat 101
through the gap. Furthermore, a gap of 1 mm exists between the sealing member 103
and the heat generating body 100. It may be understood that, in some embodiments,
the sealing member 103 may be omitted. When the sealing member 103 is omitted, the
mounting seat 101 may also be designed with the function of the sealing member 103.
For example, an end of the mounting seat 101 close to the connection point between
the heat generating electrode 133 and the heat generating part 131 may be designed
to prevent the flowing of the product formed after heating into the mounting seat
101. Certainly, a protection member may also be arranged in the mounting seat 101
to protect the electrode.
[0078] Referring to FIG. 8 to FIG. 12, the present application further provides a heat generating
assembly 20 according to another implementation. The heat generating assembly 20 has
a structure roughly the same as that of the heat generating assembly 10. The heat
generating assembly 20 includes a mounting seat 201, a heat generating body 200 mounted
on the mounting seat 201, and a sealing member 203. The sealing member 203 is arranged
outside the heat generating body 200 and is close to the mounting seat 201. The heat
generating body 200 includes a base body 210 and a heat generating circuit 230 and
a temperature measuring circuit 250 that are arranged on the base body 210 and independent

into the mounting seat 201. The temperature measuring electrode 253 includes a third
electrode 253a and a fourth electrode 253b. The heat generating assembly 20 is different
from the heat generating assembly 10 in that, in the heat generating assembly 20,
[0079] The base body 210 is in a shape of a strip sheet. Specifically, the body 211 is in
a shape of a strip sheet, and the body 211 is provided with a first protrusion 211c
and a second protrusion 211d. The first protrusion 211c and the second protrusion
211d are arranged spaced apart. The first protrusion 211c is close to the heat generating
electrode 233. The second protrusion 211d is close to a bottom surface of the base
body 210. A chute 201c is arranged on a mounting base 201a of the mounting seat 201.
A slider 201d is arranged on a mounting cover 201b. The mounting base 201a and the
mounting cover 201b are movably connected through cooperation between the chute 201c
and the slider 201d. The mounting base 201a is further provided with a clamping slot
201f. The clamping slot 201f is located on one side of the heat generating electrode
233 close to the bottom surface of the base body 210. The second protrusion 211d is
clamped in the clamping slot 201f, so that the mounting seat 201 is fixedly connected
to the base body 110. Further, a guide protrusion is further formed on the mounting
seat 201a to facilitate the mounting of the heat generating body 200. An upper surface
and a lower surface of the body 211 are each provided with an insulating layer 213,
and the insulating layer 213 close to the lower surface of the body 211 is further
provided with a protective layer 270. The heat generating electrode 233 is coplanar
with the temperature measuring electrode 253.
[0080] In an implementation, the present application further provides a heating device.

Specific embodiments
[0081] Detailed descriptions are given below in conjunction with specific embodiments. The
following embodiments do not include components other than unavoidable impurities
unless otherwise specified. The use of reagents and instruments in the embodiments
is a routine choice in the art unless otherwise specified. Experimental methods that
do not specify specific conditions in the embodiments shall be implemented in accordance
with conventional conditions, such as conditions described in literature, books, or
methods recommended by manufacturers.
Embodiment 1
[0082] A structure of a heat generating assembly according to Embodiment 1 is shown in FIG.
1. A base part of a heat generating body is made of zirconia ceramic and has a diameter
of 3 mm. The base part has a length of 16 mm. An insulating layer wound on the base
part has a thickness of 0.3 mm. A heat generating wire has a length of 10 mm in a
length direction of the base part. The heat generating wire has a width of 0.8 mm.
A maximum length of the heat generating wire formed in a width direction of the base
part is 5.06 mm. A temperature measuring wire has a length of 4 mm in the length direction
of the base part. Distances between the temperature measuring wire and two heat generating
wires are equal. The resistance of a heat generating part is 1 Q at room temperature.
The sheet resistance of the heat generating part is 100 mΩ/□. The heat generating
part is mainly made of Ni. The resistance of a temperature measuring part is 10 Ω
at room temperature. The sheet resistance of the temperature measuring part is 150
mΩ/□. The temperature measuring part is mainly made of AgPb. A temperature measuring
electrode and a heat generating electrode are both electrodes made of silver pastes.
[0083] Thermostatic stability of the heat generating assembly according to Embodiment 1
in an initial stage is tested by infrared temperature measurement, and results are
shown in FIG. 13. In FIG. 13, the abscissa is time, the length of each square in a
horizontal direction represents 15 s, and the ordinate is temperature ( °C). As can
be seen from FIG. 13, the temperature measuring part of the heat generating body in
Embodiment 1 can accurately reflect a real-time temperature of the heat generating
body. The heat generating body shows a small upsurge in the highest temperature up
to 345 °C, then gradually stabilizes at a temperature of 340 °C, which shows a high
temperature overshoot of only about 5 °C, and then quickly reaches a stable temperature.
As can be seen, the temperature measuring part is arranged in the heat generating
area away from the electrode arrangement area as described above, which can well alleviate
the problem that it is difficult to control the temperature in the initial stage of
the heat generating body to be consistent.
Comparative Example 1
[0084] A structure of a heat generating assembly according to Comparative Example 1 is roughly
the same as that in Embodiment 1, except that, as shown in FIG. 14, a temperature
measuring part 351 in Comparative Example 1 is arranged in an entire heat generating
area 319, and the sheet resistance of the temperature measuring part 351 in Comparative
Example 1 is the same as that in Embodiment 1.
[0085] Thermostatic stability of the heat generating assembly according to Comparative Example
1 in an initial stage is shown in FIG. 15. In FIG. 15, the abscissa is time, the length
of each square in a horizontal direction represents 15 s, and the ordinate is temperature
(°C). As can be seen from FIG. 15, when the heat generating body in Comparative Example
1 is controlled at a constant temperature, since the temperature measuring part 351
cannot reflect the real-time temperature of the heat generating body, the heat generating
body shows a large upsurge in the highest temperature up to 362 °C, and then gradually
reaches a stable temperature of 338 °C, which shows a high temperature overshoot of
about 24 °C. Moreover, the temperature overshoot may vary greatly as the heat generating
body varies, which may make it more difficult to control the temperature of the heat
generating body in the initial stage to be consistent during batch production.
[0086] The technical features in the above embodiments may be randomly combined. For concise
description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above
embodiments are described. However, all the combinations of the technical features
are to be considered as falling within the scope described in this specification provided
that they do not conflict with each other.
[0087] The above embodiments only describe several implementations of the present application,
and their description is specific and detailed, but cannot therefore be understood
as a limitation on the scope of the application. It should be noted that those of
ordinary skill in the art may further make variations and improvements without departing
from the conception of the present application, all of which fall within the protection
