Porous Heating Assembly With Dual Pore Paths for Atomization Modes

The porous base is segmented into two distinct pore systems: disordered pores for low-superheat atomization and through pores for high-superheat atomization. Each pore type has specific structural characteristics (disordered pores with 3%-40% porosity and through pores with 20:1 to 3:1 length-to-diameter ratio) that enable different atomization modes, allowing the heating assembly to adapt to diverse atomization requirements without requiring multiple separate devices.

The heating assembly achieves multi-functionality by integrating both disordered pores and through pores within a single porous base structure. This universal design enables the same heating assembly to perform both low-superheat and high-superheat atomization modes, eliminating the need for separate heating assemblies for different atomization requirements.

The liquid supply function and thermal insulation function are segmented into different pore systems. Disordered pores with high porosity (3%-40%) provide efficient liquid supply through capillary action, while through pores with controlled dimensions provide thermal insulation by reducing heat conduction to the liquid reservoir. This segmentation allows both high liquid guide rate and low thermal energy loss to be achieved simultaneously.

Different regions of the porous base have different pore characteristics optimized for specific functions. The disordered pores are distributed throughout the porous base to maximize liquid absorption and guide rate, while through pores are strategically positioned to provide thermal insulation where needed, creating local quality variations that optimize both liquid supply and thermal energy conservation.
