[0067] See Figure 5 , the heating device 18 includes a control unit 183 and a heating component 181. The control unit 183 is connected to the heating component 181. The control unit 183 collects the heating temperature of the heating component 181, and the heating component 181 is used to heat the aerosol-forming matrix.

[0068] In one embodiment, the control instructions issued by the host computer 11 are as follows: the heating device 15 is heated to the temperature T1 within the time t1, the heating device 16 is heated to the temperature T2 within the time t1, the heating device 17 is heated to the temperature T3 within the time t1, and the heating device 18 is heated to the temperature T4 within the time t1;

[0069] After receiving the above control instruction, the main control device 13 parses the control instruction and sends, through channel 21, the control instruction for heating to temperature T1 within time t1 to the heating device 15. Specifically, the above control instruction is sent to the control unit 153 of the heating device 15. The control unit 153 causes the heating component 151 of the heating device 15 to heat up to temperature T1 within time t1 according to the corresponding control instruction, and the control unit 153 collects in real time the heating temperature of the heating component 151;

[0070] The main control device 13 sends, through channel 22, heating to temperature T2 within time t1 to the heating device 16. Specifically, the above control instruction is sent to the control unit 163 of the heating device 16.

[0072] The main control device 13 sends, through channel 24, heating to temperature T4 within time t1 to the heating device 18. Specifically, the above control instruction is sent to the control unit 183 of the heating device 18.

[0073] In one implementation, referring to Figure 6 , the temperature monitoring device may include 4 groups of first temperature detection units 165. Each group of first temperature detection units 165 may include 4 temperature sensors, and each group of first temperature detection units 165 may be respectively connected to each heating device.

[0074] Taking the heating device 16 as an example, the first temperature detection unit 165 connected to the control unit 163 of the heating device 16 includes a temperature sensor 1651, a temperature sensor 1652, a temperature sensor 1653, and a temperature sensor 1654. The temperature sensor 1651 is used to detect the temperature of the surface of the battery that supplies energy to the heating device 16; the temperature sensor 1652 is used to detect the surface temperature of the PCB panel in the heating device 16; the temperature sensor 1653 is used to detect the surface temperature of the accommodating part in the heating component 161 for accommodating the aerosol-forming substrate; the temperature sensor 1654 is used to detect the surface temperature of the inner wall of the housing of the heating device 16.

[0075] Specifically, the control unit 163 is connected to the heating component 161, and the control unit is also respectively connected to the temperature sensor 1651, the temperature sensor 1652, the temperature sensor 1653, and the temperature sensor 1654. The control unit 163 collects in real time the temperatures detected by the temperature sensor 1651, the temperature sensor 1652, the temperature sensor 1653, the temperature sensor 1654, and the heating temperature of the heating component 161.

[0076] Furthermore, the control unit 163 of the heating device 16 collects in real time the heating temperature of the heating component 161 and the temperatures detected by the temperature sensor 1651, the temperature sensor 1652, the temperature sensor 1653, and the temperature sensor 1654 in a periodic and autonomous manner. When the heating device 16 is connected to the main control device 13, the control unit 163 will package and send the collected heating temperature of the heating component 161 and the temperatures detected by the temperature sensor 1651, the temperature sensor 1652, the temperature sensor 1653, and the temperature sensor 1654 to the main control device 13, and the main control device 13 will further send them to the host computer 11.

[0077] The temperature sensors can be installed at different positions of the heating device 16 to detect the temperatures at different positions of the heating device 16 in real time. The positions include but are not limited to the surface of the battery, the surface of the PCB panel, the surface of the accommodating part of the heating component 161, and the inner wall surface of the housing of the heating device 16 as described above. The number of temperature sensors can be set to include but is not limited to the above-mentioned 4.

[0078] The setting of the temperature sensors is beneficial to understanding the temperatures at different positions of the heating device 16 in real time, and plays a key role in the subsequent design of the aerosol-forming substrate heating non-combustion device.

[0079] At this point, the main control device 13 can collect in real time the heating temperatures of the heating components of each heating device and the temperatures at different positions of the heating device detected by the temperature sensors. Using this simulated heating system is conducive to systematically studying the heating temperature of the aerosol-forming substrate and the influence of temperature changes during the heating process on the heating effect of the aerosol-forming substrate, and can also analyze in real time the changes in the temperatures of each key point.

[0080] Furthermore, the heating component 151, the heating component 161, the heating component 171, and the heating component 181 can be an internal heating type component (not shown in the figure), an external heating type component 3, or an internal and external heating type component 4.

[0081] In one embodiment, the internal heating type component includes a needle-shaped ceramic heating element, and the needle-shaped ceramic heating element is inserted into the aerosol-forming substrate to heat the aerosol-forming substrate.

[0082] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 7 , the external heating type component 3 includes an electromagnetic heating tube 31, an electromagnetic heating coil (not shown in the figure), and a receiving portion 33 for receiving the aerosol-forming substrate. The electromagnetic heating coil is wound around the electromagnetic heating tube 31, the aerosol-forming substrate is inserted into the receiving portion 33, and the electromagnetic heating tube 31 circumferentially surrounds the receiving portion 33. Through the energy conversion of electricity-magnetism-heat, the aerosol-forming substrate is heated to release smoke. Further, the external heating type component 3 can also be a resistance heating component.

[0083] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 7 , the external heating type component 3 further includes a positioning rod 35 and an adjusting rod 37. The receiving portion 33 is located at the upper end of the positioning rod 35; at the same time, the positioning rod 35 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the adjusting rod 37 by a threaded connection. The adjusting rod 37 can drive the positioning rod 35 to move up and down in the axial direction of the external heating type component 3 by rotating along its own circumference, so as to adjust the insertion length of the aerosol-forming substrate in the receiving portion 33.

[0084] Specifically, when the external heating type component 3 is adapted to a longer aerosol-forming substrate, the adjusting rod 37 can be set to rotate clockwise along its own circumference to drive the positioning rod 35 to move downward in the axial direction of the external heating type component 3, so that the receiving portion 33 can accommodate a longer aerosol-forming substrate. When the external heating type component 3 is adapted to a shorter aerosol-forming substrate, the adjusting rod 37 can be set to rotate counterclockwise along its own circumference to drive the positioning rod 35 to move upward in the axial direction of the external heating type component 3, so that the receiving portion 33 can accommodate a shorter aerosol-forming substrate. It should be noted that it can also be that the adjusting rod 37 is set to rotate counterclockwise along the circumference to drive the positioning rod 35 to move downward in the axial direction of the external heating type component 3, and the adjusting rod 37 is set to rotate clockwise along the circumference to drive the positioning rod 35 to move upward in the axial direction of the external heating type component 3.

[0085] In one embodiment, the heating component may include either a pin-type ceramic heating element or an electromagnetic heating tube and an electromagnetic heating coil. The pin-type ceramic heating element is inserted into the aerosol-forming substrate, and the accommodating portion that houses the aerosol-forming substrate is circumferentially surrounded by the electromagnetic heating tube to achieve simultaneous heating of the inside and outside of the aerosol-forming substrate.

[0086] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 , the internal and external heating component 4 further includes an upper cover 41 and a heating component body 43. The electromagnetic heating tube 45 is installed inside the upper cover 41, and the electromagnetic heating coil 47 is sleeved around the circumference of the heating component body 43. The upper cover 41 and the heating component body 43 are detachably connected, and the connection structure can be a structure commonly recognized in the industry for detachable connection between components. For example, a clamping mechanism can be provided between the upper cover 41 and the heating component body 43 to facilitate the disassembly between the upper cover 41 and the heating component body 43. With the internal and external heating component 4 designed in this way, as long as the upper cover 41 with a different diameter is replaced, the accommodating portion 33 of the internal and external heating component 4 can be adapted to aerosol-forming substrates with different diameters.

[0087] In one embodiment, here the heating component 161 is taken as an example for illustration. Referring to Figure 11 , the simulation heating system 1 further includes a vacuum pump 51. The main control device 13 is connected to the vacuum pump 51. The vacuum pump 51 has a suction joint (not shown in the figure), and the suction joint of the vacuum pump 51 extends into the accommodating portion for accommodating the aerosol-forming substrate in the heating component 161. The main control device 13 starts the vacuum pump 51 to actively suck the hot air in the accommodating portion according to the control instruction received from the host computer 11 to take away the heat, achieving the effect of cooling the heating component 161; the main control device 13 can also close the operation of the vacuum pump 51 according to the control instruction received from the host computer 11.

[0088] As Figure 12 shown in the flowchart of the present invention for actively cooling the heating component.

[0089] Combined with Figure 11 , the following is an explanation of actively cooling the heating component 161. By clicking the cooling button on the interface of the host computer 11, the host computer 11 sends a cooling instruction to the main control device 13. After receiving the cooling instruction, the main control device 13 starts the vacuum pump 51 to suck the hot air in the accommodating portion to take away the heat and reduce the heating temperature of the heating component 161.

[0090] When the heating temperature of the heating component 161 collected by the host computer in real time reaches the preset temperature, by clicking the cooling button on the interface of the host computer 11 again, the host computer 11 sends a stop cooling instruction to the main control device 13. After receiving the stop cooling instruction, the main control device 13 stops the vacuum pump 51 from sucking the hot air in the accommodating part of the heating component 161.

[0091] In an implementation manner, when the heating temperature of the heating component 161 collected by the host computer 11 in real time reaches the preset temperature, the host computer 11 can actively send a stop cooling instruction to the main control device 13. After receiving the stop cooling instruction, the main control device 13 stops the vacuum pump 51 from sucking the hot air in the accommodating part of the heating component 161.

[0092] In an implementation manner, see Figure 13 , the temperature monitoring device further includes a second temperature detection unit and a temperature calibration control unit connected to the main control device 13. The temperature calibration control unit can be a multi-channel thermocouple temperature measurement component 61; the second temperature detection unit can include a thermocouple sensor 611, a thermocouple sensor 612, a thermocouple sensor 613, and a thermocouple sensor 614. The thermocouple sensor 611 is assembled on the heating component 151 and connected to the multi-channel thermocouple temperature measurement component 61 through an interface 71; the thermocouple sensor 612 is assembled on the heating component 161 and connected to the multi-channel thermocouple temperature measurement component 61 through an interface 72; the thermocouple sensor 613 is assembled on the heating component 171 and connected to the multi-channel thermocouple temperature measurement component 61 through an interface 73; the thermocouple sensor 614 is assembled on the heating component 181 and connected to the multi-channel thermocouple temperature measurement component 61 through an interface 74.

[0093] Here, taking the calibration of the heating temperature of the heating component 161 as an example, the thermocouple sensor 612 is used to detect the actual heating temperature of the heating component 161. The multi-channel thermocouple temperature measurement component 61 connected to the thermocouple sensor 612 obtains the actual heating temperature detected by the thermocouple sensor 612. The multi-channel thermocouple temperature measurement component 61 sends the actual heating temperature to the main control device 13, and the main control device 13 further sends the actual heating temperature to the host computer 11. The host computer 11 calibrates the heating temperature of the heating component 61 to the actual heating temperature.

[0094] Figure 14 The flowchart showing the calibration of the heating temperature of the heating component by the present invention is shown.

[0095] Combined with Figure 13, the following describes how to calibrate the heating temperature of the heating component 161. Attach the thermocouple sensor 612 to the heating component 161; according to the control instruction of the host computer 11, control the heating temperature of the heating component 161 at T1. When the heating temperature of the heating component 161 stabilizes at T1, the actual heating temperature of the heating component 161 detected by the thermocouple sensor 612 is T1R. The multi-channel thermocouple temperature measurement component 61 connected to the thermocouple sensor 612 obtains the actual heating temperature T1R detected by the thermocouple sensor 612, and the multi-channel thermocouple temperature measurement component 61 sends the actual heating temperature T1R to the main control device 13. The main control device 13 further sends the actual heating temperature T1R to the host computer 11, and the host computer 11 calibrates the first temperature T1 of the heating component 161 to T1R;

[0096] Again, according to the control instruction of the host computer 11, control the heating temperature of the heating component 161 at T2. When the heating temperature of the heating component 161 stabilizes at T2, the host computer 11 obtains the actual heating temperature of the heating component 161 detected by the thermocouple sensor 612 as T2R, and the host computer 11 calibrates the second temperature T2 of the heating component 161 to T2R.
