Abstract

An exemplary heating device for a cigarette includes a housing, a heating chamber, and a power supply. The heating chamber is arranged at a first end of the housing, and is configured for receiving at least one part of the cigarette. The heating chamber defines an air inlet and an opening. The opening is configured for receiving an end of the cigarette. The heating chamber includes a plurality of heating pieces arranged on two opposite inner walls. Each heating piece includes a heating surface facing an interior space of the heating chamber. The power supply is arranged at an opposite second end of the housing, and is configured for feeding the heating pieces power.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A heating device for a cigarette having a circular cross section, comprising:
a housing;
a heating chamber arranged at a first end of the housing, chamber being configured for receiving at least one part of a cigarette, a shape of an inner contour of the heating chamber being different from a shape of the at least one part of the cigarette, wherein the at least one part of the cigarette is pressed to conform the shape of the heating chamber during insertion of the at least one part of the cigarette into the heating chamber, the heating chamber defining an air inlet and an opening, the opening being configured for allowing the insertion of the at least one part of the cigarette, and having an opening width along a preset direction being smaller than a diameter of the circular cross section of the cigarette, two heating pieces being arranged on two opposite inner walls of the heating chamber, each heating piece comprising a heating surface an interior space of the heating chamber; and a power supply at an opposite second end of the housing, the power supply being configured for feeding power to the two heating pieces, and wherein the inner contour of the heating chamber is shaped as an ellipse in cross-section.

2. The heating device according to claim 1 , further comprising a heat insulation layer arranged between the housing and the two heating pieces.

3. The heating device according to claim 1 , wherein the two heating pieces are configured to heat simultaneously.

4. The heating device according to claim 1 , wherein a temperature of the heating chamber is kept in an approximate range from 160 Celsius degrees to 350 Celsius degrees.

5. The heating device according to claim 1 , further comprising a switch configured for turning on or off the heating pieces.

6. The heating device according to claim 1 , further comprising a charging terminal arranged at the second end of the housing, wherein the power supply is arranged between the heating chamber and the charging terminal.

7. The heating device according to claim 1 , wherein the heating surface is a smooth curved surface.

8. The heating device according to claim 7 , wherein a maximum distance between the two heating pieces is less than an external diameter of the at least one part of the cigarette.

9. The heating device according to claim 1 , further comprising a printed circuit board arranged between the heating chamber and the power supply, wherein the printed circuit board is configured for controlling heating of the heating pieces.

10. The heating device according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of toothed protrusions are formed on the heating surface.
