Abstract
Description
上述した背景技術下において、発明者等は、鋭意検討の結果、複数の発生部が設けられるケースにおいては、複数の発生部の配置関係や電気的な接続関係を工夫する必要があり、電池から複数の発生部に供給される電力量を正確に管理する必要があることを見出した。
(香味吸引器)
以下において、実施形態に係る香味吸引器について説明する。図1は、実施形態に係る香味吸引器10を示す図である。図2は、実施形態に係る霧化ユニット111を示す図である。香味吸引器10は、燃焼を伴わずに香喫味成分を吸引するための器具であり、非吸口端から吸口端に向かう方向である所定方向Aに沿って延びる形状を有する。
以下において、実施形態に係るエアロゾル流路について説明する。図2は、実施形態に係るエアロゾル流路を説明するための図である。具体的には、図2は、複数の霧化ユニット111の内部構造を示す断面模式図である。
以下において、実施形態に係る香味吸引器のブロック構成について説明する。図3は、実施形態に係る香味吸引器10のブロック構成を示す図である。
a,b:霧化ユニット111の固有パラメータ
L:1回のパフ動作で消費される吸引成分源の量
詳細には、図4に示すように、発明者等は、鋭意検討の結果、E及びLが線形性の関係を有しており、このような線形性の関係が霧化ユニット111毎に異なることを見出した。図4において、縦軸は、L[mg/puff]であり、横軸は、E[J/puff]である。例えば、霧化ユニットAについては、EがEMIN(A)からEMAX(A)の範囲においてE及びLが線形性の関係を有しており、霧化ユニットAの固有パラメータはaA及びbAである。一方で、霧化ユニットBについては、EがEMIN(B)からEMAX(B)の範囲においてE及びLが線形性の関係を有しており、霧化ユニットBの固有パラメータはaB及びbBである。
Vn:n番目の発生部111Rに印加される電圧値
T:複数の発生部111Rに電圧が印加される時間
Rn:n番目の発生部111Rの電気抵抗値
なお、Vnは、電池の出力電圧値VA、複数の発生部111Rの電気的な接続関係及び各発生部111Rの電気抵抗値に基づいて特定することができる。複数の発生部111Rが並列接続によって電気的に接続されている場合には、Vnは、VAの値であると考えてもよい。複数の発生部111Rが並列接続によって電気的に接続されている場合には、Vnは、各発生部111Rの電気抵抗値によってVAを分割した値であると考えてもよい。
実施形態に係る複数の霧化ユニット111のそれぞれに設けられる発生部111Rの回路構成について説明する。図5は、実施形態に係る複数の霧化ユニット111のそれぞれに設けられる発生部111Rの回路構成を示す図である。
実施形態では、制御部51は、VA及びVCに基づいてD1を算出するとともに、D1に基づいて電力量を制御する。従って、発生部111Rの接続個数や各発生部111Rの構成(特に、電気抵抗値)によって電池の出力電圧値が変動し得る場合であっても、所望量の電力を発生部111RA及び発生部111RBを供給することができる。
以下において、実施形態の変更例1について説明する。以下においては、実施形態に対する相違点について主として説明する。
変更例1においては、制御部51は、VA及びVCに基づいてD1を算出するとともに、D1に基づいて電力量を制御する。従って、各発生部111Rの構成(特に、電気抵抗値)によって電池の出力電圧値が変動し得る場合であっても、所望量の電力を発生部111RA及び発生部111RBを供給することができる。
以下において、実施形態の変更例2について説明する。以下においては、実施形態に対する相違点について主として説明する。
以下において、実施形態の変更例3について説明する。以下においては、実施形態に対する相違点について主として説明する。
以下において、実施形態の変更例4について説明する。以下においては、実施形態に対する相違点について主として説明する。
R2:発生部111RBの電気抵抗値
以下において、実施形態の変更例5について説明する。以下においては、実施形態に対する相違点について主として説明する。
以下において、実施形態の変更例6について説明する。以下においては、実施形態に対する相違点について主として説明する。
R=((VIN-VOUT)/VOUT)×R3。
本発明は上述した実施形態によって説明したが、この開示の一部をなす論述及び図面は、この発明を限定するものであると理解すべきではない。この開示から当業者には様々な代替実施形態、実施例及び運用技術が明らかとなろう。
