Abstract

A heating module is provided by the present application, which includes a heat insulating tube, wherein a ventilation separator dividing the heat insulating tube into an upper tube chamber and a lower tube chamber is disposed therein, and a plurality of air guiding holes are provided in the ventilation separator, and an air intake structure is configured in the lower tube chamber; a receiving tube disposed inside the upper tube chamber, and an air heating assembly, wherein the air heating assembly is disposed inside the lower tube chamber.

Claims (10)

1 . An air heating assembly, comprising:

a heat retention part, wherein a plurality of air heating passages are arranged in the heat retention part; and

a first heating element disposed inside and integrally formed with the heat retention part by sintering and a second heating element disposed on an outer surface of the heat retention part, wherein the second heating element is a resistance heating circuit coated on the outer surface of the heat retention part, and the first heating element and the second heating element are configured to heat gas passing by the air heating passages, and the heated air is used to heat cigarettes;

wherein each of the air heating passages is configured along a central axis of the heat retention part, each of the air heating passages extends in a spiral or wavy shape, so as to extend a heating route;

wherein each of the air heating passages is a concave provided in a sidewall of the heat retention part, the heat retention part comprises a first end and a second end disposed opposite to each other, each of the air heating passage passes through the heat retention part along a direction from the first end to the second end, the heat retention part consists of sintered silicon dioxide, sintered alumina, sintered silicon nitride or sintered silicon carbide.

2 . The air heating assembly of claim 1 , wherein the air heating assembly further comprises a supporting tube and a heat insulating layer; the supporting tube is disposed around an outer surface of the heat retention part; and the heat insulating layer is disposed between the supporting tube and the heat retention part.

3 . The air heating assembly of claim 2 , wherein the supporting tube is configured to have a hollow cylinder structure, and the supporting tube is disposed around an outer surface of the heat retention part.

4 . The air heating assembly of claim 2 , wherein a limiting step having a ring shape is configured on an inner wall of one end of the supporting tube, a limiting protrusion having a ring shape is configured on an inner end surface of one end of the limiting step, a gap having a ring shape is formed between the limiting protrusion and the inner wall of the supporting tube, wherein one end of the heat insulating layer is inserted in the gap, and one end of the heat retention part and one end of the limiting protrusion abuts against each other.

5 . The air heating assembly of claim 1 , wherein the second heating element is made of tungsten paste, and the heat retention part consists of high purity alumina.

6 . The air heating assembly of claim 5 , wherein the second heating element made of tungsten paste and the heat retention part consisting of high purity alumina are sintered together at a high temperature of 1600° C.
