Abstract

An exemplary atomizing head includes a main body, a liquid inlet, an air inlet, an air outlet, an air passage, a connecting electrode, a liquid conducting element in the main body, a heating element in the main body, and a connecting part. The air passage is in communication with the air inlet and the air outlet. The liquid conducting element is configured for absorbing tobacco liquid flowed in through the liquid inlet. The heating element is in contact with the liquid conducting element, and configured for heating the tobacco liquid absorbed in the liquid conducting element to form aerosol. The aerosol is expelled via the air passage. The connecting part is configured for coupling with an atomizer. The atomizing head further includes a temperature sensing element configured for sensing a temperature of the aerosol.

First claim

What is claimed is:

an air passage in communication with the air inlet and the air outlet;
a connecting electrode;
a liquid conducting element in the main body, the liquid conducting element being configured for absorbing tobacco liquid flowed in through the liquid inlet;
a heating element in the main body, the heating element being in contact with the liquid conducting element, and configured for heating the tobacco liquid absorbed in the liquid conducting element to form aerosol, the aerosol being expelled via the air passage; and
a connecting part configured for coupling with an atomizer;
wherein the atomizing head further comprises a temperature sensing element disposed next to and spaced away from the heating element in the air passage and configured for sensing a temperature of the aerosol in the air passage.

2. The atomizing head according to claim 1 , further comprising a gauze in the main body, wherein the gauze is in the air passage, configured for supporting the temperature sensing element, and allows the aerosol to pass through.

3. The atomizing head according to claim 1 , further comprising wires and sleeving tubes, wherein the wires connect the temperature sensing element to the connecting electrode, parts of the wires adjacent to the heating element are sleeved by the sleeving tubes.

4. The atomizing head according to claim 1 , wherein the heating element is oriented in a direction parallel to an axial direction of the main body.

5. The atomizing head according to claim 4 , wherein the heating element comprises a spiral heating wire formed on an internal wall of the liquid conducting element.

6. The atomizing head according to claim 1 , wherein the temperature sensing element is arranged in a middle part of the heating element, or a top part of the heating element adjacent to the air outlet.

7. The atomizing head according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid conducting element is made of ceramic, and the heating element is arranged in the liquid conducting element.

8.
