Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a metal needle type heater for heating non-combustible smoking set. BACKGROUND

[0002] The needle type heater is a commonly used heating component in the heating non-combustible smoking set, and its structure is that a metal heating wire is fixedly arranged in a needle-shaped metal tube. When in use, the needle type heater heats tobacco to generate smoke, and the smoke contains tar. On the one hand, metal has good lipophilicity, and after contacting with tobacco tar, the tobacco tar is easily attached to the surface of the needle-shaped metal tube and is difficult to clean. On the other hand, the existing preparation method of the metal thin tube has a large roughness of the outer surface of the tube material, and the process cost for improving the flatness of the outer wall of the metal tube material is high, and it is difficult to reduce the roughness, which further aggravates the attachment of the tobacco tar on the surface of the metal tube material. Finally, with the extension of the use time, the tar is easily attached to the outer wall of the needle type heater to form carbon deposit with a certain hardness, which is difficult to clean and shortens the service life of the heating non-combustible device. The carbon deposit produces a burnt smell during smoking, which affects the use experience. In addition to the difficulty in cleaning the attached tar, the pure metal shell also has a baked metal smell, which affects the smoking experience.

[0003] The material of the metal heating needle is usually stainless steel, and the thermal conductivity coefficient is about 15 W / (m·K), the heat transfer is fast, and the preheating time is short. The existing zirconia ceramic heating needle has a low thermal conductivity coefficient of only about 2 W / (m·K), the heat transfer is slow, and the preheating waiting time during smoking is long.

[0004] Therefore, the utility model aims to provide a metal needle type heater with glaze sealing treatment, which comprises a needle-shaped metal sleeve, the outer surface of the needle-shaped metal sleeve is subjected to glaze sealing treatment to form a glaze layer, a metal heating wire is fixedly arranged in the needle-shaped metal sleeve, and a heat-conducting ceramic is filled between the needle-shaped metal sleeve and the metal heating wire. By sealing the metal shell with glaze, the glaze layer can generate a liquid phase during sintering, and the surface after cooling is very smooth and dense, has a small adhesion to tobacco tar, and the tar on the surface of the glaze layer can be easily cleaned, thereby avoiding the burnt smell caused by carbon deposit. At the same time, the glaze layer effectively isolates the metal smell, improves the consistency of smoking, and greatly prolongs the service life and use experience of the heating non-combustible device. SUMMARY

[0005] The utility model discloses a metal needle type heater of enamel processing, which comprises a needle type metal sleeve, an enamel layer formed on the outer surface of the needle type metal sleeve by enamel processing, a metal heating wire fixed in the needle type metal sleeve, and heat-conducting ceramic filled between the needle type metal sleeve and the metal heating wire.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:

[0007] A metal needle type heater comprises a needle type metal sleeve, an enamel layer formed on the outer surface of the needle type metal sleeve, and a metal heating wire fixed in the needle type metal sleeve, and heat-conducting ceramic filled between the needle type metal sleeve and the metal heating wire.

[0008] The preparation method of the enamel layer comprises the following steps: (1) preparing a metal base material into a hollow needle type metal sleeve, coating or dipping the enamel slurry on the outer surface of the needle type metal sleeve by spraying or dipping, and then solidifying and sintering; and (2) placing a spiral heating wire in the needle type metal sleeve subjected to the enamel processing, injecting heat-conducting ceramic slurry, and then solidifying and sintering.

[0009] Further, the use temperature of the heating non-combustion device is usually not higher than 500 DEG C, and is between 300 DEG C and 500 DEG C. In order to ensure the stability of the enamel layer during use, the sintering temperature of the enamel should be higher than the use temperature, and is preferably between 600 DEG C and 900 DEG C.

[0010] Further, the use temperature of the heating non-combustion device is usually not higher than 500 DEG C, and is between 300 DEG C and 500 DEG C. In order to ensure the stability of the enamel layer during use, the sintering temperature of the enamel should be higher than the use temperature, and is preferably between 600 DEG C and 900 DEG C.

[0011] Further, the material of the needle type metal sleeve is stainless steel, magnesium alloy or aluminum alloy.

[0012] Further, in order to improve the overall heat transfer effect of the metal needle type heater, the thermal conductivity of the enamel layer should be as high as possible, and is preferably higher than 1 W / (m·K).

[0013] The specific components of the glaze layer can be selected based on the specific performance of the metal substrate, and the commercially available product that matches the metal substrate is selected from commercially available raw materials, which will not be described here.

[0014] Further, the thickness of the glaze layer is less than 15um, which improves the heat transfer effect and reduces heat loss.

[0015] Further, the metal heating wire is a spiral wire or a linear wire.

[0016] Further, the heat-conducting ceramic is selected from a ceramic product with a high thermal conductivity, and is preferably an aluminosilicate ceramic.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are that in order to reduce the carbon deposition and metal odor of the metal substrate, the utility model is sealed with glaze on the metal shell, the glaze layer can generate a liquid phase during sintering, and a very smooth and dense surface is generated after sintering and cooling, which has a small adhesion to tobacco tar and is easy to clean the tar on the surface of the glaze layer, thereby avoiding the generation of carbon deposition and burnt smell. At the same time, the glaze layer effectively isolates the metal odor, improves the consistency of smoking, and greatly prolongs the service life and use experience of the heating non-combustion device.

[0018] Since the thermal conductivity of the glaze layer is low, in order to ensure the heating effect of the metal needle type heating device, the thickness of the glaze layer is controlled to be less than 15um, and the thermal conductivity of the glaze layer is optimized. In order to ensure the service life of the metal needle type heating device, the glaze layer with a thermal expansion coefficient matching the metal substrate is preferred.
