Heater Fixing Seat Centering for Low-Temperature Smoking Set
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing low-temperature baking smoking sets suffer from a tilted and non-centered heating body, leading to uneven heating of cigarettes, which affects the smoking amount.
Innovation Solution
A heater design with a fixing seat system comprising a first and second fixing seat, a heating body with a fixing part that is clamped between these seats, and a temperature sensor for real-time temperature detection, ensuring the heating body is securely positioned and uniformly heats the cigarette.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the heating body is fixed by buckling left and right fixing seats along the longitudinal direction of the bracket, then the heating body can be assembled quickly, but the heating body tilts and is not centered due to manufacturing tolerance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a fixing seat as an intermediary component between the bracket and the heating body. The fixing seat includes a fixing groove that receives the heating body and a fixing protrusion that connects to the bracket, acting as a mediator to transfer and stabilize the heating body's position. This intermediary structure ensures accurate centering while maintaining ease of assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the traditional buckling mechanism with a groove-protrusion mechanical fit system. The fixing groove and fixing protrusion create a precise mechanical interface that automatically centers the heating body through geometric constraints, eliminating the need for complex buckling operations while improving positioning accuracy.
2Ease of manufacture
If the heating body is not centered, then the structure is simpler to manufacture, but the cigarette is not uniformly heated during heating and baking
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing seat serves as a mediator that ensures uniform heating by precisely positioning the heating body at the center of the bracket. The fixing groove geometry inherently centers the heating body, creating symmetric heat distribution around the cigarette without complicating the overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses asymmetric geometry in the fixing groove and fixing protrusion design to achieve symmetric positioning. The groove is shaped to receive and center the heating body, creating a stable equilibrium position that ensures uniform heating while maintaining manufacturing simplicity.
3Device complexity
If the heating body tilts, then fewer fixing components are needed, but the smoking amount is affected
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing seat acts as a single intermediary component that provides both support and positioning functions. It includes integrated features (fixing groove, fixing protrusion, limiting surfaces) that collectively prevent tilting and ensure consistent smoking performance without requiring multiple separate fixing components.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges multiple fixing functions into a single fixing seat component. The fixing groove, fixing protrusion, and limiting surfaces are integrated into one piece that simultaneously provides positioning, support, and tilt prevention, reducing component count while ensuring smoking consistency.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to the field of smoking sets. Provided are a heater and a low-temperature baking smoking set comprising the heater. The heater comprises: a bracket, wherein a heating chamber accommodating a cigarette is provided in the bracket; a heating body, wherein the heating body comprises a heating part and a fixing part, the heating part extends from the fixing part along the longitudinal direction of the bracket, and the heating part is exposed in the heating chamber for being inserted into the cigarette to heat the cigarette; and a fixing seat, wherein the fixing seat is connected to the bracket, and the fixing seat abuts against the fixing part so as to fix the heating body on the bracket. The present disclosure avoids the problem that the heating body tilts and is not centered, such that the cigarette is uniformly baked by the heating body, thereby ensuring the smoking amount.
