1Use of energy by moving object
If a resistive heater is used to heat E-liquid, then the device structure is simple, but the energy efficiency is low and the temperature rise rate is slow
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the conventional resistive heating system with an electromagnetic induction heating system. The electromagnetic heating coil generates an alternating magnetic field that induces eddy currents in the conductive cigarette holder, which then generates heat through resistive heating of the holder material itself. This substitution of heating mechanism achieves rapid temperature rise and high energy efficiency while maintaining reasonable device complexity through the use of standard electromagnetic components.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the heating parameter from direct resistive heating of E-liquid to electromagnetic induction heating of the cigarette holder. By changing the heating target from the liquid directly to the container holding the liquid, the system achieves faster and more efficient heating. The AC voltage frequency and amplitude can be controlled to optimize heating rate and energy consumption.
