Igniting and heating mechanism

摘要

This disclosure relates to a container having a heating function which requires no complicated electric circuit and is free of incorrect operation, and to a heat conversion apparatus and a compact ignition apparatus for the container. The ignition apparatus comprises a piezoelectric element, a pressure-exerting apparatus for applying pressure to the piezoelectric element, a sensing device for sensing whether the container contains a desired material to be heated, a heat conversion apparatus for converting electric energy generated by the piezoelectric element into thermal energy to generate heat at high temperature, and an escaping discharge or spark gap device for discharging the electricity generated by the piezoelectric element at a place well away from the exothermic system when the sensing device does not sense that the container is filled with the desired material to be heated.
