At least a portion of the heating element 40 is exposed in the atomization chamber 340. When inhaling, external air enters the atomization chamber 340 from the air inlet 22 of the distal end 120, and carries the aerosol in the atomization chamber 340 to the aerosol transmission tube 11, and then is inhaled by the user at the air outlet 111.

[0061] according to Figure 2As shown, the atomizer 100 further includes:

[0062] The electrical contact 21 penetrates from the distal end 120 into the atomizer 100 and is electrically connected to the heating element 40 by abutment or welding, so as to guide the current on the heating element 40 .

[0063] See also Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the porous body 30 is roughly configured to be in the shape of a plate or sheet. In some embodiments, the plate-like or sheet-like porous body 30 indicates that their thickness may be substantially smaller than its length and width. In some embodiments, the thickness of the porous body 30 is 0.1 mm to 3 mm; and the length dimension of the porous body 30 is 8 to 12 mm; and the width dimension of the porous body 30 is approximately between 2.5 and 4 mm. In some other variations, the porous body 30 may have more shapes, such as an arched, cup-shaped, trough-shaped, trapezoidal shape, and the like.

Figures 2 to 4 In the embodiment, the porous body 30 is in a square shape; in more variations, the shape of the porous body 30 may be a regular rectangle, a circle, an ellipse, or an irregular shape.

[0067] See also Figures 2 to 4As shown, the heating element 40 is arranged as a substantially planar heating element; and the heating element 40 includes a first electrode portion 41 and a second electrode portion 42 opposite to each other in the length direction, and a heating portion 43 extending between the first electrode portion 41 and the second electrode portion 42; the heating portion 43 is used to heat the liquid matrix to generate an aerosol, and the first electrode portion 41 and the second electrode portion 42 are used to guide current on the heating portion 43. After assembly, the electrical contact 21 passes through the distal end 120 into the atomizer 100 and abuts against the first electrode portion 41 and the second electrode portion 42, so as to be used to power the heating element 40.

[0068] exist Figures 2 to 4 In the embodiment, the heating portion 43 of the heating element 40 is fluid permeable; as used herein, "fluid permeable" means that an aerosol in a gas phase can easily pass through the heating portion 43. For example, in Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 4 , the heating portion 43 is provided with array-arranged perforations 431, so that the heating portion 43 is basically arranged in a net-like shape and is fluid-permeable. Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the embodiment, the first electrode portion 41 and the second electrode portion 42 are dense and impermeable to fluid.

[0069] In some specific embodiments, each perforation 431 of the plurality of perforations 431 of the fluid permeable heating portion 43 may have a diameter between 20 microns and 4000 microns. In some embodiments, each perforation 431 is between 20 microns and 4000 microns. In some further preferred embodiments, each perforation 431 is between 500 microns and 3000 microns. In some further preferred embodiments, the diameter of each perforation 431 is between 1000 microns and 2000 microns.

[0070] exist Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the heating element 40 is prepared independently; for example, the heating element 40 is prepared by forming a through hole 431 on a sheet-like resistive substrate; the heating element 40 includes a resistive material such as a metal material, a metal alloy, graphite, carbon, a conductive ceramic or other ceramic material and a metal material. Among them, suitable metal or alloy materials include at least one of nickel, cobalt, zirconium, titanium, nickel alloy, cobalt alloy, zirconium alloy, titanium alloy, nickel-chromium alloy, nickel-iron alloy, iron-chromium alloy, iron-chromium-aluminum alloy, iron-manganese-aluminum-based alloy or stainless steel.

[0071] In an embodiment, the porous body 30 and the heating element 40 are connected as one and cannot be separated. Figures 2 to 4 In the figure, the material of the porous body 30 is at least partially embedded in the heating element 40, specifically, the material of the porous body 30 is at least partially embedded in the through-holes 431 of the heating portion 43. Figure 4The mesoporous body 30 has an embedding portion 321 embedded in or extending into the through hole 431 of the heating portion 43 .

[0072] In some embodiments, the embedded portion 321 of the porous body 30 is made of a green material for preparing the porous body 30, which is embedded into the through hole 431 of the heating portion 43 and then sintered into a whole with the heating element 40. Figure 5 As shown, including:

[0073] S10, mixing raw materials such as ceramics and glass to form the porous body 30 with a pore-forming agent and a liquid additive into a slurry, and forming the slurry into a plastic green body 30a by mold injection molding, cast lamination, 3D printing, etc.; and Figure 5 As shown, the green embryo 30a has a first surface 310a and a second surface 320a; and a structure where no embedded portion 321 is formed on the second surface 320a;

[0074] S20, combining the plastic green embryo 30a with the heating element 40 by die casting, pressing, or warm isostatic pressing, as shown by arrow P1, and making the material of the green embryo 30a at least partially embedded in the through hole 431 of the heating part 43 during the die casting, pressing, or warm isostatic pressing;

[0075] S30, the die-cast or pressed green body 30a and the heating element 40 are sintered, and then the porous body 30 is formed by sintering, which is tightly sintered into one with the heating element 40 and has an embedded part 321 embedded in the through hole 431 of the heating part 43. Based on the green body 30a of a common porous ceramic material, the sintering temperature of S30 is controlled to be about 600°C, such as 500-800°C, which is slightly lower than the common ceramic sintering temperature; to avoid excessively high temperatures, such as above 1000°C, which may cause the heating element 40 to be overheated, deformed or oxidized.

[0076] In the preparation of the above atomizing assembly, the heating element 40 is prefabricated independently; the porous body 30 is formed by combining the raw material-prepared plastic embryo 30a with the heating element 40 and then sintering. Compared with the method of printing or mounting the heating element 40 on the surface of the prefabricated porous body 30, the material of the porous body 30 is at least partially embedded in the perforation 431 of the heating part 43, which reduces the thermal deformation of the heating element 40 in the plane during the heating process and helps to evenly and dispersely supply the liquid matrix to the heating part 43.

[0077] In the porous body 30 sintered after the green body 30 a is press-bonded to the heating element 40 , the pores defined by the pore former are interconnected, so that the liquid matrix can be delivered from the first surface 310 to the heating element 40 in any direction.

[0078] The atomizer assembly is sintered after the green embryo 30a is pressed and combined with the heating element 40, and the porous body 30 and the heating element 40 are inseparable. After the applicant's preliminary comparative test of the bonding force in the laboratory, the atomizer assembly of the porous body 30 and the heating element 40 of the present application is subjected to a simple test of hot and cold cycles, and the hot and cold cycles include repeatedly supplying power to the heating element 40 so that it is heated from room temperature to 350°C and then kept for about 3s before cooling to room temperature; when the number of hot and cold cycles of the atomizer assembly of the present application is about 395 times, the heating element 40 has no defects such as breakage, warping, or falling off or separation from the porous body 30; and when the applicant tested the conventional hot and cold cycles of the heating track printed on the porous body 30 to the same 395 times, visible cracks appeared on the printed heating track, and the edges of the heating area were blackened.

[0079] or Figure 6 A schematic diagram of a heating element 40a of yet another embodiment is shown, in which the heating element 40a comprises:

[0080] The first electrode portion 41a and the second electrode portion 42a are arranged in a spaced relationship, and the fluid-permeable heating portion 43a is located between the first electrode portion 41a and the second electrode portion 42a; the first electrode portion 41a and the second electrode portion 42a are arranged in opposite directions along the length direction of the heating element 40a. Figure 6 In the embodiment, the first electrode portion 41a and the second electrode portion 42a are configured to be square in shape; or in some other variations, the first electrode portion 41a and the second electrode portion 42a can also be configured to be circular, semicircular, elliptical, or the like.

The first electrode portion 41a and / or the second electrode portion 42a mainly define an electrical connection area or portion of the heating element 40a. In addition, the first electrode portion 41a and / or the second electrode portion 42a are dense or non-fluid permeable.

[0082] In some implementations, the fluid permeable heating portion 43a is the portion mainly used for heating. In an embodiment, the heating portion 43a is a mesh woven by conductive wires, and then connected between the first electrode portion 41a and the second electrode portion 42a by welding or the like. For example, in some specific implementations, the heating portion 43a is formed by weaving with transverse conductive wires arranged along the length direction of the heating portion 43a and longitudinal conductive wires arranged along the width direction of the heating portion 43a. The perforations 431a in the woven mesh heating portion 43a make the heating portion 43a fluid permeable.

[0083] In some implementations, the resistivity of the conductive wire of the braided heating portion 43a is between 0.5 and 2 Ω mm 2 / m. And, in some implementations, suitable conductive wires include metal conductive wires: at least one of 430 / 304 / 316 / 316L / 317 / 317L / 904 stainless steel conductive wires, iron-chromium-aluminum conductive wires, nickel-iron alloy wires, Hastelloy wires, Inconel alloy wires, nickel-chromium alloy wires, and monel alloy wires. And in some implementations, the diameter of the conductive wire may range from about 10 μm to 100 μm. Or in some specific implementations, the diameter of the conductive wire is 15 to 20 μm.

[0084] In some embodiments, the ratio of the maximum radial width of the through hole 431a of the heating portion 43a woven by the conductive thread to the diameter of the conductive thread is greater than or equal to 2. Also, the maximum radial width of the through hole 431a of the heating portion 43a is between 0.02 and 2 mm.

[0085] Or in some other implementations, the conductive wires of the braided heating portion 43a are composite fiber wires, for example, the composite fiber wires are twisted or mixed with metal wires and inorganic fiber wires, such as carbon fiber wires, glass fiber wires, and the like.

[0086] Accordingly, the green embryo 30a is further bonded to the heating element 40a by pressing, and at least part of the material of the green embryo 30a is embedded in the through hole 431a of the heating portion 43a, and then the green embryo 30a is sintered to form the porous body 30.

Figure 7 The through holes 431a of the middle heating portion 43a are substantially filled with the material of the embedded porous body 30. Figure 7 As shown in the results, more than 90% of the through holes 431a of the heating portion 43a are embedded with the material of the porous body 30; or in a more preferred embodiment, more than 95% of the through holes 431a of the heating portion 43a are embedded with the material of the porous body 30.

And, in the mesh-shaped heating element 40b, the first electrical connection part 410b and the second electrical connection part 420b woven by the conductive wire define the electrical connection part of the heating element 40b.
