FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of battery, and more particularly, to a battery shell, a battery, and an electrical device.

BACKGROUND

An atomization device atomizes an atomizable material (such as e-liquid) to produce a mist for inhalation by a user. The atomization core is a key element of the atomization device, capable of heating the atomizable material to atomize the atomizable material.

The atomization device at high power supply output produces a burnt smell. Meanwhile, a risk of the atomization device producing the burnt smell increases due to a limited service life of the atomization device after the atomization device has been operating for a period of time. In addition, a same atomization device cannot meet both low-power and high-power user demands while ensuring flavor.

SUMMARY

The present disclosure aims to alleviate a burnt smell problem of an atomization device. To this end, one of the objects of the present disclosure is to provide an atomization device. According to the atomization device of the present disclosure, a heating member can selectively heat alternately or simultaneously, and therefore an atomization core operates to generate heat at different power, reducing a risk of dry burning of the heating member, and lowering an operating temperature of the atomization core. In this way, a burnt smell of the atomization device is alleviated.

According to the atomization device of the present disclosure, the atomization core is arranged in the heating chamber, and the atomization core can atomize an atomizable material in the atomization heating chamber through the heating of the heating member to form an atomized substance. The atomizable material in the atomization heating chamber is heated. With the atomization core and the at least part of the inner wall of the heating chamber spaced apart from each other, contact between the atomization core and the inner wall of the heating chamber can be reduced. Therefore, heat transfer between the atomization core and the housing can be reduced, which in turn reduces a risk of deformation of the housing due to heating up of the housing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to examples thereof as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, throughout which same or similar elements, or elements having same or similar functions, are denoted by same or similar reference numerals. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are illustrative only, and are intended to explain rather than limit the present disclosure.

In the related art, an atomization device at high power supply output produces a burnt smell. Meanwhile, a risk of the atomization device producing the burnt smell increases due to limited service life of the atomization device after the atomization device has been operating for a period of time. In addition, a same atomization device cannot meet both low-power and high-power user demands while ensuring flavor.

Hereinafter an atomization device 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7.

As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, the atomization device 1 according to the present disclosure includes a housing 11, an atomization core 12, and a plurality of heating members 13. A heating chamber 111 is formed in the housing 11. The atomization core 12 is arranged in the heating chamber 111 and spaced apart from at least part of an inner wall of the heating chamber 111. The plurality of heating members 13 is configured to selectively heat alternately or simultaneously.

In the atomization device 1 of the present disclosure, the atomization core 12 is arranged in the heating chamber 111. The atomization core 12 can atomize an atomizable material in the atomization heating chamber 111 through the heating of the heating member 13. With the atomization core 12 and the at least part of the inner wall of the heating chamber 111 spaced apart from each other, contact between the atomization core 12 and the inner wall of the heating chamber 111 can be reduced. Therefore, heat transfer between the atomization core 12 and the housing 11 can be reduced, which in turn reduces a risk of deformation of the housing 11 due to heating up of the housing 11.

In the atomization device 1 of the present disclosure, the plurality of heating members 13 is provided and operates independently of each other. The plurality of heating members 13 can selectively heat alternately or simultaneously. The heating alternately means that the plurality of heating members 13 is divided into a plurality of groups, and each group operates in turn to heat in order, enabling the atomization core 12 to operate at low power. The heating simultaneously means that the plurality of heating members 13 operates to heat concurrently, enabling the atomization core 12 to operate at high power. Therefore, the atomization device 1 of the present disclosure can selectively operate at the low power or the high power to meet user demands.

In related art, a burnt smell of the atomization device may be caused by dry burning of the atomization core, which arises from operation of the atomization core for a long period of time and a failure in replenishing the atomization material. The burnt smell of the atomization device may also be caused by excessively high temperature of the atomization core operating at high power.

In the atomization device 1 of the present disclosure, the plurality of heating members 13 is operate to heat alternately to enable a single heating member 13 to operate intermittently, extending a replenishment time of the atomizable material heated by the single heating member 13. In this way, a risk of dry burning of the heating member 13 and thus the burnt smell of the atomization device are reduced. The plurality of heating members 13 may also operate to heat simultaneously to improve heating efficiency. Total power of the atomization core 12 is equal to total power of the plurality of heating members 13, which helps to reduce the power of the single heating member 13 and to lower the operating temperature of the atomization core 12. Thus, the burnt smell of the atomization device is alleviated. Moreover, lowering the operating temperature of the atomization core 12 can also extend a service life of the atomization core 12. Therefore, the atomization device 1 of the present disclosure can reduce the burnt smell of the atomization device when operating at different power.

Therefore, in the atomization device of the present disclosure, the heating members 13 can selectively heat alternately or simultaneously, enabling the atomization core 12 to operates to heat at the different power. The alternate heating of the plurality of heating members 13 enables the atomization device to operate at a low power, which can extend a replenishment time of the atomizable material heated by a single heating member 13 and reduce the risk of the dry burning of the heating member 13. Thus, the burnt smell of the atomization device is alleviated. The simultaneous heating of the plurality of heating members 13 can improve heating efficiency and furthermore help to reduce power of the single heating member 13 and to lower the operating the operating temperature of the atomization core 12. Thus, the burnt smell of the atomization device.
