AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The heat from the storage unit in conventional flavor inhalers can adversely affect the control unit due to its proximity, posing a risk of thermal interference.

Method used

The flavor inhaler design includes a thermal diffusion unit that covers the container but is open on the control unit side, positioned perpendicular to the container, with extensions and varying thermal conductivities to manage heat distribution and protect the control unit.

Benefits of technology

This configuration effectively diffuses heat away from the control unit, ensuring efficient thermal management and maintaining wireless communication while preventing localized heating and thermal interference.

Abstract

Provided is a flavor inhaler. This flavor inhaler comprises a tubular accommodation portion which accommodates a consumable to heat same, a heat dissipation portion which is disposed such that the heat dissipation portion covers at least a part of the accommodation portion and which dissipates the heat of the accommodation portion, a control unit which controls an operation of the flavor inhaler, and a housing which accommodates the accommodation portion, the heat dissipation portion, and the control unit. The accommodation portion and the control unit are disposed adjacent to each other in a direction orthogonal to the length direction of the flavor inhaler. The heat dissipation portion is partially opened on the control unit side in the circumferential direction of the accommodation portion.
