Description

미세 입자 발생 장치{FINE PARTICLE GENERATOR} Fine particle generator {FINE PARTICLE GENERATOR}

*본 발명은 궐련 형태 전자 담배를 사용하는 미세 입자 발생 장치에 관한 것으로 특히 기압 센서를 이용하여 부가적인 기능을 수행할 수 있는 미세 입자 발생 장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a fine particle generating device using a cigarette type electronic cigarette, and more particularly to a fine particle generating device that can perform an additional function using an air pressure sensor.

공기 중의 미세 입자, 즉 에어로졸을 흡입하는 것으로 흔히 말하는 흡연과 같은 기호 물질 흡입이 달성될 수 있다. 종래에는 궐련 형태의 담배가 이러한 기호 물질 흡입의 거의 유일한 수단이었으나 최근에는 전자 담배라는 것도 또 하나의 수단으로 자리 잡고 있다. 전자 담배는 흡입 물질이 액체 형태로 담긴 카트리지에 열이나 초음파를 가하여 흡입 물질을 증기로 기화시켜 미세 입자를 발생시키므로 연소를 시켜 연기를 발생시키는 종래의 궐련 형태의 담배와는 방식 면에서 완전히 차별되며, 그로 인한 장점, 특히 연소로 발생할 수 있는 다양한 유해 물질의 발생을 저지할 수 있다는 장점을 보유한다.Inhalation of preference substances such as smoking, commonly referred to as inhalation of fine particles in the air, ie aerosols, can be achieved. In the past, cigarette-type cigarettes were almost the only means of inhaling these preference substances, but in recent years, electronic cigarettes have become another means. E-cigarettes are completely different from conventional cigarette-type cigarettes in which smoke is generated by vaporizing the inhaled substance by vapor by applying heat or ultrasonic waves to a cartridge containing the inhaled substance in liquid form. It has the advantage that it can prevent the generation of various harmful substances that can be caused by combustion, in particular.

또한, 궐련 형태의 통상의 담배를 선호하는 수요자들의 요구에 따라, 통상의 담배의 필터부와, 궐련부의 모양을 갖는 전자 담배도 제안되고 있는데, 이 전자담배는 궐련부에 포함된 흡입물질을 전기 저항 히터로 기화시키면서 통상의 담배와 동등한 구성을 갖는 필터부를 통해 사용자가 흡입하는 구성을 갖는다. 이러한 전자 담배에서는, 통상의 담배와 마찬가지로 궐련부에 건조 담배잎이 채워지거나, 흡입 물질이 함침되거나 표면에 묻혀진 종이로 채워진다. 전자 담배를 홀더에 끼우고 홀더 내부의 히터가 가열되어 궐련부 내부의 건조 담배잎이나 흡입물질을 기화시키면 사용자가 필터부를 통해 기화되는 흡입 물질을 흡입할 수 있게 된다. 종전의 전자 담배와 마찬가지로 연소가 일어나지 않는다는 장점은 가지면서 통상의 담배를 피울 때와 똑같은 메카니즘으로 필터부를 통해 기화된 흡입 물질 에어로졸을 흡입할 수 있으므로 사용자 입장에서는 통상의 담배를 피우는 것과 같은 기분을 느낄 수 있게 된다.In addition, according to the demands of consumers who prefer ordinary cigarettes in the form of cigarettes, an electronic cigarette having a filter part of a normal cigarette and a shape of a cigarette part has also been proposed. It has a structure which a user inhales through the filter part which has a structure equivalent to a normal cigarette, while vaporizing with a resistance heater. In such an electronic cigarette, as in a normal cigarette, the cigarette portion is filled with dry tobacco leaves, or with a paper impregnated with an inhalation substance or buried on the surface. When the electronic cigarette is inserted into the holder and the heater inside the holder is heated to vaporize the dry tobacco leaf or the suction material inside the cigarette part, the user may suck the suction material vaporized through the filter part. As with conventional electronic cigarettes, the combustion does not occur, but the same mechanism as when smoking cigarettes allows the inhalation of vaporized inhalation substance aerosol through the filter part, so the user feels like smoking a normal cigarette. It becomes possible.

도 1은 전기 저항 가열 방식의 미세 입자 발생 장치의 일실시예를 도시한 단면도이다. 도 1을 참조하면, 미세 입자 발생 장치(1)는 전류를 인가하면 전기 저항에 의해 발열을 하는 히터(14)와, 상기 히터(14)에 순간적으로 높은 전력을 공급할 수 있는 축전장치(16)와, 상기 히터(14)를 제어하기 위한 제어 장치(15)를 포함한다. 상기 히터(14)는, 홀더(13)에 수용된 일정 온도 이상 가열시 기화하는 물질(기화 물질)이 포함된 기화재를 가열하여 미세 입자를 발생시킨다. 예를 들어, 건조 담배잎이 채워지거나 흡입 물질이 함침되거나 표면에 묻혀진 종이로 채워진 궐련 형태 전자 담배(11)를 장치의 개구(12)를 통해 상기 홀더(13)에 삽입하면 상기 히터(14)가 가열되어 궐련부 내부의 흡입 물질을 기화시켜 에어로졸을 형성시키면 사용자가 전자 담배(11)의 필터부를 통해 기화된 에어로졸 흡입 물질을 흡입할 수 있게 된다. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing an embodiment of a fine particle generating device of the electric resistance heating method. Referring to FIG. 1, the fine particle generator 1 may include a heater 14 that generates heat by electric resistance when an electric current is applied, and a power storage device 16 capable of supplying instantaneously high power to the heater 14. And a control device 15 for controlling the heater 14. The heater 14 generates fine particles by heating a vaporizing material including a substance (vaporizing substance) which vaporizes when heated above a predetermined temperature contained in the holder 13. For example, a cigarette-shaped electronic cigarette 11 filled with dry tobacco leaves, impregnated with inhaled material, or buried in a surface is inserted into the holder 13 through the opening 12 of the device to the heater 14. When heated to vaporize the inhalation material in the cigarette part to form an aerosol, the user can inhale the vaporized aerosol inhalation material through the filter part of the electronic cigarette 11.

그러나, 상기와 같은 미세 입자 발생장치는 궐련 형태의 전자담배가 삽입되지 않은 채로 작동 버튼이 눌러졌을 때 예열모드로 진입하는 오작동이 발생할 수 있는 문제점이 있었다. 또한 사용자의 편의를 위한 별도의 부가적인 기능, 예를 들어, 본 발명에서 구현하고자 하는 폐활량 측정 기능이나 궐련 형태의 전자담배의 사용횟수를 카운트하여 표시해 주는 것과 같은 부가적인 기능은 실시할 수 없었다.However, the fine particle generator as described above has a problem that a malfunction of entering the preheating mode may occur when the operation button is pressed without the electronic cigarette of the cigarette type being inserted. In addition, a separate additional function for the convenience of the user, for example, to measure the spirometry function to be implemented in the present invention or additional functions such as displaying the count of the use of the e-cigarette in the form of cigarettes could not be performed.

본 발명은 기압 센서(Pressure Sensor)를 이용해 궐련형태 전자담배의 삽입 유무를 감지하여 동작을 제어할 수 있는 미세 입자 발생 장치를 제공하는 것을 목적으로 한다.An object of the present invention is to provide a fine particle generating device that can control the operation by detecting the presence of a cigarette-type electronic cigarette using a pressure sensor (Pressure Sensor).

건조 담배잎이 채워지거나 흡입 물질이 함침되거나 표면에 묻혀진 종이로 채워진 궐련 형태 전자 담배(10)를 미세 입자 발생 장치(100)의 홀더(20)에 삽입하면 히터(40)가 가열되어 궐련부 내부의 흡입 물질을 기화시켜 에어로졸을 발생시키면 사용자가 전자 담배의 필터부를 통해 기화되는 에어로졸 흡입 물질을 흡입할 수 있게 된다. 상기 기압 센서(40)는 멤브레인(Membrane)의 상하 움직임으로 기압을 측정할 수 있는 센서로서, 기압의 변화에 따른 저항값의 변화를 감지할 수 있다. 상기 기압 센서(40)는 바람직하게는 궐련 형태 전자 담배(10)가 삽입되는 홀더(20) 하부에 적어도 하나가 설치될 수 있다. When the cigarette-shaped electronic cigarette 10 filled with dry tobacco leaves, impregnated with inhaled substances, or filled with paper is inserted into the holder 20 of the fine particle generating device 100, the heater 40 is heated to the inside of the cigarette part.
