  • Publication number: 20210186111
    Abstract: An apparatus for detecting smoke concentration includes a shell, a signal transmitter, and a signal receiver. The shell is arranged with an air channel tube, and the air channel tube defines an air channel. The signal transmitter and the signal receiver are arranged inside the shell. At least one of the signal transmitter and the signal receiver is arranged out of the air channel. The signal transmitter and the signal receiver work cooperatively to detect a concentration of the smoke in the air channel, so that the smoke cannot easily coagulate or adhere on the signal transmitter and/or the signal receiver, a signal is detected more accurately, and an error of a detection result is reduced.

  • Publication number: 20210186116
    Abstract: A method for producing vaporizer units as a component of inhalers includes the steps: a) providing a flexible circuit board material with sites for individual vaporizer units, the material optionally prestructured with conductor paths and/or pre-punched areas predetermined in terms of position/course for each site; b) providing and placing a heating element which may be electrically connected to the conductor paths; and c) at least partial covering each site with a sealing material for the formation of a partial sheathing for each vaporizer unit. The sealing material is applied such that the sheathing covers an edge region of the heating element while keeping open a heating surface on an upper side of the circuit board material. At least the outer surfaces of the sheathing pointing away from the circuit board material form sealing surfaces. Vaporizer units, vaporizer assemblies, vaporizer cartridges and inhalers with such vaporizer units are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20210186118
    Abstract: An aerosol-generating apparatus includes a mouthpiece, an aerosolizing thermal reactor, and an air preheating passage. The aerosolizing thermal reactor has an air inlet upstream of an aerosol outlet, and includes an aerosolizable substance chamber and a thermal distribution casing. The thermal distribution casing surrounds the aerosolizable substance chamber and includes a laminate material with an at least three-layer construction including a metal middle layer between a metal outer layer and a metal inner layer. The thermal conductivity of the metal inner layer is at least double that of each of the metal outer and inner layers. The air preheating passage is located downstream of the air inlet and upstream of the aerosolizable substance chamber, and surrounds the aerosolizable substance chamber. The air preheating passage is defined by an air gap between the chamber outer wall and the metal inner layer.
