The ceramic cores have the advantages of easy assembly and stable performance, and are more widely used. Both the cotton cores and the ceramic cores have the problem of easy oil leakage. When the pore size of the ceramic core is large, the permeation efficiency of the tobacco oil is high, but the oil is easy to leak. If the pore size is small, the permeation of the tobacco oil is difficult, causing dry burning. Patent application No. 201910740263.9 of the People's Republic of China discloses a ceramic core for solving the above technical problems. The ceramic core is manufactured by using a flow casting process. Specifically, three different ceramic slurries are used to form a green body by layer flow casting, and then sintering is performed to form a three-layer structure with different pore sizes. The pore size of the liquid permeation surface is large to facilitate the rapid permeation of the atomization liquid, and the pore size of the atomization surface is small to prevent large molecules from passing through, thereby achieving the effect of preventing liquid leakage.

[0043] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical scheme of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the specific embodiments of the present application and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments.
[0044] Reference should be made to Figure 1The cross-sectional schematic diagram of the atomization substrate of the present application is shown, the atomization substrate of the present application comprises a loose layer 11, a dense layer 12 and a transition layer 13 between the loose layer 11 and the dense layer 12. The outer surface of the loose layer 11 serves as a liquid infiltration surface, and the outer surface of the dense layer 12 serves as an atomization surface. There are several directly or indirectly connected pore structures inside the atomization substrate, and the atomized liquid can penetrate from the liquid infiltration surface to the side of the atomization surface through the pore structure. The thickness of the atomization substrate is 1-4mm, the thickness of the dense layer 12 is 0.02-0.3um, the thickness of the transition layer 13 cannot be accurately defined, and there is no direct correlation between the thickness of the dense layer 12 and the overall thickness of the atomization substrate, that is, the thickness of the dense layer 12 does not change with the thickness of the atomization substrate. The pore size of the loose layer 11 is between 30-120um, the pore size of the dense layer 12 is between 10-45um, and the pore size of the transition layer 13 is between 10-80um; it should be noted that the pore size in the atomization substrate is an irregular pore, and the pore size at different positions of the same pore structure is different, and the pore size extends vertically or horizontally or in a zigzag manner. The zigzag extension means that the same pore structure has both vertical and horizontal extensions. The overall porosity of the atomization substrate of the present application is between 44%-74%. The porosity of the loose layer 11 is greater than the porosity of the dense layer 12.
[0045] Further preferably, the pore size of the loose layer 11 is between 40-80um, and the pore size of the dense layer 12 is between 12-36um. The size of the pore size needs to meet the penetration of the atomized liquid and ensure that the wrapped section does not easily leak liquid, and the size of the pore size is related to the formula of the atomization substrate and the related parameters of the manufacturing process, which will be described in detail later in this article.
[0046] Further preferably, the pore size of the loose layer 11 is between 40-50um, and the pore size of the dense layer 12 is between 12-32um.
[0047] The atomization substrate of the present application generally has a heating element 14 on the surface of the dense layer 12, which generates heat to promote the heating and atomization of the atomized liquid in the atomization substrate and generate aerosol. The heating element 14 can be fixed on the surface of the dense layer 12 by screen printing, or it can be purchased and manufactured inside the atomization substrate.
[0048] Figure 2 The cross-sectional electron microscope image of the atomization substrate of the present application is shown, which can be seen that the dense layer 12 on the lower side of the cross section, the loose layer 11 and the transition layer 13 on the upper side. However, the boundaries of each layer are not accurately distinguished.
[0049] Figure 3 、 Figure 4 The light transmission experiment of the atomization substrate of the present application is shown,Figure 3 The dense layer 12 of the atomization substrate is directly opposite the light, and the effect diagram observed from the loose layer 11 side is shown; Figure 4 The loose layer 11 of the atomization substrate is directly opposite the light, and the effect diagram observed from the dense layer 12 side is shown. From the above two effect diagrams, it can be clearly distinguished that Figure 3 The light spot shown presents several light spots, that is, the light from the hole structure on the loose layer 11 side transmits and forms several light spots, and Figure 4 The light spot presents a blurred uniformity, that is, the light does not present obvious light spots when it transmits through the dense layer 12, that is, the dense layer 12 has no holes or the holes are too thin, and the light transmits and does not present obvious differences. Figure 3 、 Figure 4 The experimental environment of the light transmission experiment shown is consistent, and the strong light source can be at a certain distance from the atomization substrate, and preferably directly adheres to the surface of the atomization substrate.
[0050] Figure 5 、 Figure 6 The electron microscope scanning diagrams of the dense layer 12 and the loose layer 11 of the atomization substrate of the present application are shown, and the effect diagrams of the dense layer 12 at 600 times magnification and the loose layer 11 at 400 times magnification are shown. Most of the pore size structures generally meet the range described above, because the manufacturing process cannot guarantee that all pore sizes are within the specified range, and there are very few small differences.
[0051] When the atomization substrate of the present application is applied to an atomization product, such as the application of the People's Republic of China No. 202110430799.8 patent in the field of electronic cigarettes, the hole structure in the loose layer of the atomization substrate has a large pore size, which is beneficial for the atomization liquid to penetrate from the loose layer 11 to the inside of the atomization substrate; and the hole structure in the dense layer has a small pore size, which can prevent the atomization liquid from continuing to penetrate downward, thereby avoiding oil leakage. And the pore size of the loose layer, after wrapping the cross section with sealing silica gel, will not cause the atomization liquid to leak from the cross section.
[0052] The manufacturing method of the atomization substrate of the present application includes the following steps:
[0053] S10, preparing a slurry;
[0054] In this step, the slurry includes the following components by mass component: 2-9wt% of a binder, 1-4wt% of a dispersing agent, 20-30wt% of a ceramic powder, 15-26wt% of a pore-forming agent, and 41-47wt% of an organic solvent.

The porosity of the atomizing substrate manufactured by using the present embodiment is less than 60%, preferably 53-57%.

[0059] In the present step, the binder, ceramic powder, pore-forming agent, dispersant and organic solvent are mixed in a predetermined proportion and then ball-milled to obtain the slurry. The ball-milling time is greater than 5 hours. The binder can be added before or after the ball-milling stirring.
[0060] S20, casting molding;
[0061] In the present step, the prepared slurry is cast molded on the carrier plate at a casting speed of 10-45cm / min and a molding thickness of 1-3mm. The carrier plate is a glass plate or other plate with smooth surface.
[0062] S30, phase inversion;
[0063] The slurry cast on the carrier plate is put into water with the carrier plate, and the slurry is instantaneously solidified after being put into water and forms the dense layer 12 on the surface of the slurry in contact with water, which can be understood as a film coating; the slurry is soaked in water for no less than 12 hours, and in the soaking process, the organic solvent is replaced by water to obtain a green body and form a plurality of gaps (the actual section view is shown in Figure 7 The green body does not generate a dense layer when contacting the side surface of the carrier plate.

In the sintering process, the pore-forming agent is burned and removed, and the gaps are shrunk, and finally the aforementioned porous structure is formed. The pore size in the dense layer 12 (i.e. the film coating) is smaller than the pore size of the loose layer 11.
[0068] The atomization substrate, the atomization substrate manufacturing method and the atomization device of the present application can form the dense layer 12 and the loose layer 11 on the vertical two sides of the atomization substrate respectively through one-time cast forming. Compared with the atomization substrate prepared by multiple times of cast forming with different formulations to obtain different pore sizes, the process of the present application is simpler and more practical, the manufacturing period is lower, the manufacturing cost is lower, and the process controllability of the product is higher.
