Heating device for low-temperature cigarette
Technical Field
The invention relates to a heating device for low-temperature cigarettes, and belongs to the technical field of low-temperature cigarettes.
Background
Cigarettes are the most common smoking articles, and typically are prepared by baking tobacco, shredding the tobacco, and rolling the paper into a cylindrical form. A filter is also typically provided at the suction end. When smoking, one end is ignited, and the generated smoke is sucked out from the other end through a mouth. Nicotine (nicotine) contained in the smoke enters the blood through the respiratory system, and stimulates nerve cells in the brain to secrete dopamine to produce a pleasant feeling. However, conventional tobacco often contains a large amount of harmful substances such as tar. In order to reduce the harm of tobacco and improve public environmental health, related researchers have proposed a new type of smoking article, low-temperature cigarette (heat non-combustion cigarette).
At present, the heating mode of low-temperature cigarettes is mostly an electric heating mode, a heating component of the low-temperature cigarettes mainly has a needle (rod) shape, and a resistance wire or a resistance sheet is directly buried inside a heating needle and a heating fin. Although the related art proposes a solution of heating tobacco liquid or baking tobacco shreds by heat released by burning fuel, for example, chinese patent application CN201420057088.6 discloses a lighter type fuel-heated cigarette, and chinese patent application CN201621111124.8 discloses a gas-heated smoking article, both of which are solutions of indirectly heating a low-temperature cigarette by burning liquid fuel such as butane, these fuel-burning-based heating assemblies still adopt a structure similar to that of electric heating without major changes, which greatly affect heating efficiency, speed of smoke output during use and uniformity of low-temperature cigarette baking, thereby indirectly affecting user smoking experience and harmful substance generation.

The heating device of the embodiment is provided, and the cross section of the heating part 2 is arranged in a cross shape. Two additional control groups were provided, the heating elements of one heating device were arranged in a circular cross-section (heating needle (rod)) having a diameter of 2 mm, and the heating elements of the other heating device were arranged in a rectangular cross-section (sheet heating configuration) having a thickness of 0.524 mm and a width of 6 mm.

The three heating devices are adopted to heat the low-temperature cigarette, and the numerical simulation is carried out on the dynamic process of starting heating from 300K (Kelvin, which is equivalent to normal temperature) by using FLUNET software. Wherein, the changes of the volume ratio of the average temperature of the low-temperature cigarette, the maximum value of the temperature of the low-temperature cigarette and the optimal temperature of the low-temperature cigarette (namely the volume fraction of the low-temperature cigarette in the optimal temperature range) along with the time are respectively shown in figures 3-5.
Figure 3 shows the internal temperature maximum of a low temperature cigarette over time after heating has commenced. As can be seen from fig. 3, the maximum temperature in the low temperature cigarette rises most rapidly with the needle (rod) -shaped heating element, and the lowest smokable temperature (220 ℃ (celsius)) of the low temperature cigarette can be reached at 20s (seconds), however, it takes longer to start smoking in actual use due to the uneven temperature distribution. Also at 40 seconds, the needle-like heating element reaches a maximum smokable temperature of 350 degrees celsius, above which overheating can result, affecting the smoking comfort. The cross-shaped heating part can keep a slow temperature rise, and the time required from the beginning of heating to the time when the cross-shaped heating part can suck is shorter than that of the needle-shaped heating element according to the following data, so that the heating effect is good. The heating effect of the sheet heating element as one of the control groups is located therebetween.

As can be seen from fig. 4, the cross-shaped heating portion has a higher average temperature of the low-temperature cigarettes, and then the average temperature of the low-temperature cigarettes using the sheet-shaped heating elements is the lowest average temperature of the low-temperature cigarettes using the needle-shaped heating elements. The cross-shaped heating part can be shown to have the maximum heat conduction efficiency, the heating efficiency is improved, and the continuous pumping time after each fuel filling can be greatly prolonged.

As can be seen from FIG. 5, the optimal temperature range of the low-temperature cigarette is defined as 220-350 ℃, and in the temperature range, the low-temperature cigarette can not generate too many harmful substances during smoking. As can be seen from fig. 5, the cross-shaped heating portion can rapidly increase the optimal temperature-volume ratio of the low-temperature cigarette after a period of time. The optimum temperature-volume ratio required for suction can be reached more quickly than with sheet-like and needle-like heating elements.
