DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0034] As mentioned in the background, the existing heating assemblies and electronic atomization devices have poor reliability.
[0035] A heating assembly comprises a substrate; a heating member on the atomization surface of the substrate; electrodes located on both sides of the heating member and on the same side as the atomization surface; a lead or thimble connected to the electrode.
[0036] The above-mentioned heating assembly has poor reliability. After the investigation by the applicant, it is found that the reasons for this are as follows:
[0037] The lead wire or thimble will pass through the atomization cavity. On the one hand, crossing the atomization cavity will reduce the space of the atomization cavity, and it is not conducive to full atomization. On the other hand, it will hinder the circulation and transmission of flue gas. Besides, the temperature of the atomization surface is high in the process of suction, and the heat is easily transferred to the lead or thimble. This will increase the temperature of the lead or thimble and even lead to instability or even failure of the electrode connection in serious cases.
[0038] Secondly, the atomization surface has an upward structure. As power source in the electronic atomization device is below it, the external heating circuit needs to pass through the components that fix the substrate to connect with the electrode and the power source. This structure increases the processing difficulty and easily leads to the risk of liquid leakage.
[0040] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a heating element assembly to improve the reliability of the heating element assembly.
[0041] The technical solutions of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely by combining with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present disclosure but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by the ordinary technical personnel in this field without requiring creative work fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

Therefore, it cannot be understood as a limitation for the present disclosure.

Embodiment 1
[0045] This embodiment provides a heating element assembly 10. As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, it comprises:
[0046] A substrate 100, wherein the substrate comprises a first surface Q1 and a second surface Q2 which are opposite to each other, the substrate 100 comprises an atomization area B and electrode areas A, the substrate 100 has a micropore group which penetrates through the substrate 100 from the first surface Q1 to the second surface Q2, and the micropore group comprises first micropores 110a located in the atomization area B and second micropores 110b located in each of the electrode areas A;
[0047] A heating member 130 arranged on one side of the first surface Q1, wherein the heating member 130 at least crosses part of the atomization area B;
[0048] Electrode members (120a, 120b), and wherein corresponding electrode members are provided on the first surface Q1 and the second surface Q2 of the electrode area A;
[0049] A conductive connection portion 150, wherein the conductive connection portion 150 is located in the second micropore 110b, and the conductive connection portion is electrically connected to the electrode member 120a on the first surface Q1 and the electrode member 120b on the second surface respectively.
[0050] The substrate 100 comprises a ceramic substrate, a glass substrate or a silicon substrate. The ceramic substrate comprises a porous ceramic substrate, and the porous ceramic substrate has large specific surface area, strong adsorption capacity and good liquid guide. It can be understood that the shape of the substrate 100 is not restricted as long as tobacco tar can enter the first micropore 110a, and the first micropore 110a can transfer the tobacco tar to the heating member.
[0051] In this embodiment, the electrode areas A are respectively located on both sides of the atomizing area B.
[0052] The first micropore 110a is used to guide liquid and transfer the tobacco tar to the heating member 130.
[0053] In this embodiment, the micropore group is an array of micropores, and the first micropores 110a and the second micropores 110b are arranged in an array. There are several first micropores 110a and several second micropores 110b, and the pore diameter of the second micropore 110b is the same as that of the first micropore 110a.
[0054] The pore diameter of the second micropore 110b is the same as that of the first micropore 110a, which makes the structure of the substrate 100 simple and easy to manufacture.
[0055] In other embodiments, the pore diameter of the second micropore is different from that of the first micropore.
[0056] In an embodiment, the ratio of the thickness of the substrate 100 to the pore diameter of the second micropore 110b is between 15:1 and 5: 1; the ratio of the thickness of the substrate 100 to the pore diameter of the first micropore 110a is between 15:1 and 5:1, such as 15:1, 12:1, 10:1, 8:1, or 5:1.
[0057] In a specific embodiment, the pore diameter of the first micropore 110a is between 10 µm and 100 µm, and the pore diameter of the second micropore 110b is between 10 µm and 100 µm, such as 30 µm; the thickness of the substrate 100 is between 0.2 mm and 0.5 mm, such as 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm or 0.5 mm.
[0058] The heating member 130 is used to atomize tobacco tar. The heating member 130 can be a heating film, a heating circuit, a heating piece or a heating mesh. It can heat tobacco tar evenly with uniform heating temperature, and the atomized particles will not become larger due to low local temperature. This effectively makes the atomized particles uniform, improving the taste of electronic atomization device. In an embodiment, the heating member 130 is located on the first surface corresponding to the atomization area B; in other embodiments, the heating member is embedded in the first surface of the substrate.
[0059] In this embodiment, the heating member 130 is completely arranged on the surface of the atomization area B.
[0060] In this embodiment, the heating member is a heating film, and the heating film is completely arranged on the surface of the atomization area.
[0061] In this embodiment, the first surface Q1 of the atomization zone B is an atomization surface, and the second surface Q2 is a liquid absorption surface.
[0062] The electrode members comprise an electrode member located on the first surface Q1 of the electrode area A and an electrode member located on the second surface Q2 of the electrode area A. In this embodiment, the electrode member is an electrode film. In other embodiments, the electrode member can also be an electrode block. The electrode member located on the first surface Q1 of the electrode area A is a first sub-electrode member 120a. The electrode member located on the second surface Q2 of the electrode area A is a second sub-electrode member 120b.
[0063] In this embodiment, the second micropore 110b comprises a first sub-micropore area (not labeled) and a second sub-micropore area (not labeled) arranged in the thickness direction of the substrate 100, and the distance from the first sub-micropore area to the first surface Q1 is smaller than that from the second sub-micropore area to the first surface Q1. The conductive connection portion 150 comprises a first sub-conductive connection portion 151 covering an inner wall surface of the first sub-micropore area and a second sub-conductive connection portion 152 covering an inner wall surface of the second sub-micropore area. The first sub-conductive connection portion 151 contacts with the second sub-conductive connection portion 152. The materials of the second sub-conductive connection portion 152 and the first sub-conductive connection portion 151 can be the same or different.
[0065] In this embodiment, the conductive connection portion 150 is a conductive connection film, and the conductive connection film is located on an inner wall surface of the second micropore 110b. Both ends of the conductive connection film extend to connect to the electrode member 120a on the first surface Q1 and the electrode member 120b on the second surface Q2 respectively, and the thickness of the conductive connection film is less than 1/2 of the pore diameter of the second micropore 110b. In this case, part of the second micropore 110b is not fully filled. The conductive connection film can be formed integrally with the electrode film located on the first surface Q1. Secondly, less material of the conductive connection film is used, which can reduce the cost.
[0066] In a specific embodiment, the pore diameter of the second micropore 110b is between 10 µm and 100 µm, and the thickness of the conductive connection film is between 200 nm and 10 µm. If the pore diameter of the second micropore 110b is too small, the filling capacity of the conductive connection film in the second micropore 110b will be reduced, and the conductive connection film cannot penetrate into the second micropore 110b. If the pore diameter of the second micropore 110b is too big, when the conductive connection portion is a conductive connection film, the remaining second micropores 110b have better liquid locking capacity. That is, even if tobacco tar enters the second micropore 110b, the second micropore 110b will lock the tobacco tar to prevent the tobacco tar from being transferred to the first surface Q1 through the second micropore 110b, and effectively avoid liquid leakage.
[0067] In a specific embodiment, the thickness of the electrode film is greater than that of the conductive connection film. Specifically, the thickness of the electrode film on the first surface Q1 is greater than that of the conductive connection film, and the thickness of the electrode film Q1 on the second surface is greater than that of the conductive connection film. The thickness of the electrode film is relatively large, which improves the contact performance between the electrode film on the first surface and the heating member 130, as well as the contact performance between the electrode film on the second surface and the lead-out connection member. The thickness of the conductive connection film refers to the thickness of the conductive connection film on the side wall surface of a single side of the second micropore.
[0068] In other embodiments, the thickness of the electrode film can also be the same as that of the conductive connection film, or the thickness of the electrode film can also be smaller than that of the conductive connection film.
[0069] In this embodiment, the materials of electrode film, conductive connection film and heating film are the same. The thickness of the electrode film on the first surface is the same as that of the heating film. The thickness of the electrode film on the first surface is the same as that on the second surface.
[0070] In other embodiments, the thickness of the electrode film on the first surface Q1 is different from that of the electrode film on the second surface Q2.
[0071] In a specific embodiment, the thickness of the substrate 100 is between 0.2 mm and 1 mm, such as 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.8 mm or 1 mm, which has the following advantages: The substrate 100 is thin, which can help improve the liquid guide of the first micropore 110a. When the conductive connection portion 150 is a conductive connection film, the area of the conductive connection film near the first surface Q1 and the area near the second surface can be easily connected together, which reduces the difficulty of preparing the conductive connection film.
[0072] The material of the heating member 130 includes aluminum, copper, silver, gold or several alloy thereof; the material of the electrode member includes aluminum, copper, silver, gold or several alloy thereof; the material of the conductive connection portion 150 includes aluminum, copper, silver, gold or several alloy thereof. When these materials are selected, the electrical conductivity of heating member, electrode element and conductive connection portion 150 is relatively high, which is beneficial to reducing the resistance.
[0073] In an embodiment, the thickness of the heating film is between 200nm and 5µm; the resistance of the heating film is between 0.5Ω and 2Ω. At present, the voltage range of the lithium battery of electronic atomization device does not exceed 3.7V, and the power does not exceed 10W and is generally 6.5W-8.5W. Accordingly, the resistance range of the heating film needs to be set as 0.5Ω and 2Ω. Aluminum, copper, silver, gold or several alloy thereof is used as the material of heating film, and the thickness of the corresponding heating film is between 200nm and 5µm.
[0074] This embodiment further comprises an additional heating film 131 located on part of an inner wall surface of the first micropore 110a, and the additional heating film 131 is connected to the heating member 130.
[0075] Referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the heating element assembly further comprises a lead-out connection member 160, and one end of the lead-out connection member 160 is connected to the electrode member of the second surface Q2. The power source in the electronic atomization device applies an electric signal to the heating member 130 through the lead-out connection member 160, the electrode member on the second surface Q2, the conductive connector 150 and the electrode member on the first surface Q1.
[0076] In this embodiment, the lead-out connection member 160 does not need to pass through the atomization cavity, so as to prevent the lead-out connection member from hindering the circulation and transmission of flue gas. Even if the heating member 130 makes the temperature of the first surface Q1 corresponding to the atomization area A relatively high, the distance from the first surface Q1 corresponding to the atomization area A to the lead-out connection member 160 is relatively large, the heat on the first surface Q1 corresponding to the atomization area A is not easily transmitted to the lead-out connection member 160, and the temperature rise of the lead-out connection member 160 can be avoided. Therefore, the connection of the lead-out connection member 160 is relatively stable, and the lead-out connection member 160 will not become invalid.
[0078] The electrode member on the second surface Q2 can be connected towards the power source without the need for the electrode member on the first surface Q1 to bypass the substrate 100 and electrically connect to the power source, and the risk of liquid leakage can be reduced.
[0079] Once again, the heating member and the electrode element are electrically connected through the shortest path, thereby reducing the circuit loss.

[0080] The differences between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 are as follows: Referring to FIG. 4, an inner surface of the first micropore 110a is not provided with an additional heating film, and the entire inner wall surface of the first micropore 110a exposes the material of the substrate 100.
Embodiment 3
[0082] The differences between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 are as follows: Referring to FIG. 5, the conductive connection portion 150a fully fills the second micropore. In this embodiment, the second micropore comprises a first sub-micropore area (not labeled) and a second sub-micropore area (not labeled) arranged in the thickness direction of the substrate 100, and the distance from the first sub-micropore area to the first surface Q1 is smaller than that from the second sub-micropore area to the first surface Q1. The conductive connection portion 150a comprises a first sub-conductive connection portion 151a covering an inner wall surface of the first sub-micropore area and a second sub-conductive connection portion 152a covering an inner wall surface of the second sub-micropore area. The first sub-conductive connection portion 151a contacts with the second sub-conductive connection portion 152a. The materials of the second sub-conductive connection portion 152a and the first sub-conductive connection portion 151a can be the same or different.
