Abstract

The present disclosure relates to the field of atomization applications. More specifically, the disclosure relates to an atomization core, comprising a core substrate and a heating body on the core substrate, wherein the core substrate is made of a dense material (e.g., dense ceramics), with e-liquid transferring perforations distributed in the substrate; the diameter of the e-liquid transferring perforations is 1-250 μm; the wall spacing between two adjacent e-liquid transferring perforations is less than 500 μm; and the porosity of the dense material is less than 30%.

Claims (33)

1 . An atomization core comprising:

a core substrate having a porosity of less than 10%, the core substrate having a first side and a second side;

a plurality of perforations defined in the core substrate, the perforations extending from the first side to the second side of the core substrate, each of the perforations having a wall, the perforations being arranged in an array having a triangular shape and uniformly dispersed over a substantial portion of the core substrate;

a heating body disposed on the second side of the core substrate between the walls of the perforations to form fluidic channels for atomizing a liquid transferred through the perforations; and

electrodes electrically connected across a width of the heating body at opposing ends.

2 . The atomization core according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of perforations have a uniform diameter.

3 . The atomization core according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of perforations have a uniform spacing between the walls of adjacent perforations.

4 . The atomization core according to claim 1 , wherein the core substrate has a uniform thickness between the first side and the second side.

5 . The atomization core according to claim 1 , wherein the heating body has a uniform thickness.

6 . The atomization core according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of perforations extend orthogonally between the first side and the second side.

7 . The atomization core according to claim 1 , wherein each of the perforations has a diameter of 250 μm or less.

8 . The atomization core according to claim 1 , wherein the walls of adjacent perforations are spaced by a distance of less than 250 μm.

9 . The atomization core according to claim 1 wherein the heating body has a thickness of less than 100 μm.

10 . The atomization core according to claim 1 , further comprising a passive film disposed on the heating body.

11 . The atomization core of claim 10 , wherein the passive film comprises Au.

12 . The atomization core according to claim 1 , wherein the core substrate is made from a monocrystalline material.

13 . The atomization core according to claim 1 , wherein the core substrate is made from a high temperature resistant and thermal shock resistant glass.

14 . The atomization core of claim 13 , wherein the high temperature resistant and thermal shock resistant glass comprises quartz.

15 . The atomization core according to claim 1 , wherein the heating body comprises biocompatible films.

16 . The atomization core of claim 1 , wherein the fluidic channels have the same diameter as the perforations.

17 . The atomization core according to claim 1 , wherein the perforations are uniformly spaced from one another both linearly and diagonally in the triangular array.

18 . The atomization core according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of perforations are defined by laser in the core substrate.

19 . An atomization core comprising:

a core substrate having a porosity of less than 10% and a first side and a second side;

a plurality of perforations defined in the core substrate, the perforations extending from the first side to the second side, each of the plurality of perforations having a wall, wherein the plurality of perforations have a uniform diameter, and wherein the plurality of perforations are arranged in an array having a triangular shape and uniformly dispersed over a substantial portion of the core substrate;

a heating body having a uniform thickness disposed on the second side of the core substrate between the walls of the perforations to form fluidic channels for atomizing a liquid transferred through the perforations; and

electrodes electrically connected across a width of the heating body at opposing ends.

20 . An atomization device comprising:

an atomization core having:

a core substrate having a porosity of less than 10%, the core substrate having a first side and a second side;

a plurality of perforations defined in the core substrate, the perforations extending from the first side to the second side of the core substrate, each of the perforations having a wall, the perforations being arranged in an array having a triangular shape and uniformly dispersed over a substantial portion of the core substrate;

a heating body disposed on the second side of the core substrate between the walls of the perforations to form fluidic channels for atomizing a liquid transferred through the perforations; and

electrodes connected across a width of the heating body at opposing ends for electrically connecting the heating body to a power supply, wherein the plurality of perforations have a size that is matched to the liquid for atomizing.
