[0041] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0042] In the present application, the terms “upper”, “lower”, “left”, “right”, “front”, “back”, “top”, “bottom”, “inner”, “outer”, “middle”, “vertical”, “horizontal”, “lateral”, “longitudinal” and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. These terms are mainly used to better describe the present application and its embodiments, and are not used to limit the indicated devices, elements or components to have a specific orientation, or to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.
[0043] Furthermore, some of the above terms may be used to express other meanings besides indicating a position or location. For example, the term "on" may also be used to indicate a dependency or connection in certain circumstances. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0044] Furthermore, the terms "installed," "disposed," "provided with," "connected," and "connected" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, removable connections, or integral structures; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediary, or internal communication between two devices, elements, or components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0045] Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are primarily used to distinguish between different devices, elements, or components (which may or may not be of the same type and configuration), and are not intended to indicate or imply the relative importance or quantity of the devices, elements, or components indicated. Unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.
[0046] First, the application scenarios of this application are explained. In some application scenarios, the atomizing device can be an electronic cigarette. In this case, the atomizing component is equivalent to the cartridge part of the electronic cigarette, the control component is equivalent to the cigarette rod part of the electronic cigarette, and the substance to be atomized is equivalent to the oil in the electronic cigarette; in other application scenarios, considering that the atomizing device can also be used in medical scenarios, for example, it can be used in the treatment of diseases such as allergic skin, bronchitis, and asthma, so the atomizing device can be an atomizing therapeutic device. In this case, the atomizing component is equivalent to the sprayer, the control component is equivalent to the atomizing body, and the substance to be atomized is equivalent to the medicine to be used. This application does not limit the specific application scenarios.
[0047] Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows a circuit diagram of an atomizing device. Figure 1 As shown, the atomizing device mainly includes a control component 11 and an atomizing component 12. The control component 11 includes a battery Bat and a control unit U. The atomizing component 12 includes a heating resistor R and a substance to be atomized in a liquid storage chamber ( Figure 1 (not shown), the heating resistor R is immersed in the substance to be atomized. One end of the battery Bat is electrically connected to the power port VDD of the control unit U, and the other end of the battery Bat is electrically connected to the ground port GND of the control unit U. When the user inserts the atomizer assembly 12 into the control assembly 11, the control assembly 11 and the atomizer assembly 12 are connected. At this time, one end of the heating resistor R is electrically connected to the atomizer port AT of the control unit U, and the other end of the heating resistor R is electrically connected to the ground port GND of the control unit U.
[0048] In the process of using the atomization device, the user can issue an instruction through a breathing action performed on the atomization device or a key action performed on the shell of the atomization device, and then the control unit U responds to the instruction to issue a resistance control signal to control the on-off of the current on the heating resistor R. Wherein, when the current flows through the heating resistor R, the temperature of the heating resistor R will rise rapidly, thereby vaporizing the to-be-atomized substance to achieve the atomization effect; when there is no current flowing through the heating resistor R, the heating resistor R cannot vaporize the to-be-atomized substance.
[0049] In the prior art, the communication of the atomization device is unidirectional, that is, the control unit of the control assembly controls the on-off of the current on the heating resistor through the resistance control signal, but cannot obtain whether the atomization assembly is a regular product. In this way, the control unit cannot know whether the control resistance signal issued is valid.
[0050] And in the embodiment of the present application, the verification of the atomization assembly is realized through the bidirectional communication between the control assembly and the atomization assembly. In this way, the problem of low safety caused by using a pseudo inferior atomization assembly in the prior art is avoided.
[0051] The technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments and drawings.
[0052] Figure 2 is a circuit schematic diagram of an atomization device shown in an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 2 The atomization device includes a control assembly 21 and an atomization assembly 22, and the control assembly 21 and the atomization assembly 22 are detachably connected.
[0053] Among them, the control assembly 21 includes a main control unit U1, and the main control unit is provided with an atomizer end AT port, a verification port PWM and a ground port GND; the atomization assembly 22 includes a slave control unit U2 and a heating resistor R1, and the slave control unit U2 is provided with a first connection port RP, a second connection port RM and a response port RU, the first connection port RP is electrically connected with one end of the heating resistor R1, and the second connection port RM is electrically connected with the other end of the heating resistor R1. Illustratively, the heating resistor R1 can be a resistance wire.
[0054] As shown in Figure 2As shown, when the atomization assembly 22 is connected with the control assembly 21, the first connection port RP of the slave control unit U2 is electrically connected with the atomizer port AT of the master control unit U1, the second connection port RM of the slave control unit U2 is electrically connected with the ground port GND of the master control unit U1, and the response port RU of the slave control unit U2 is electrically connected with the check port PWM of the master control unit U1. At this time, the master control unit U1 is configured to send an identification code to the slave control unit U2 through the atomizer port AT, acquire a response condition of the slave control unit 22 to the identification code through the check port PWM, and check the atomization assembly 22 according to the response condition to obtain a check result, and control the atomizer port AT to perform signal control on the heating resistor R1 according to the check result.
[0055] It can be understood that the identification code described above can be composed of a specific combination of high and low level signals. The voltage of the low level signal is not 0, so that the voltage of the atomizer port AT exists, and the power supply to the slave control unit U2 is maintained. For example, if the voltage of the atomizer port AT is greater than 2.5V, it corresponds to a high level signal; if the voltage of the atomizer port AT is less than or equal to 2.5V and greater than 0V, it corresponds to a low level signal. The above example is only an example, and the present application does not make special limitations.
[0056] It should also be understood that the response condition of the slave control unit 22 to the identification code can be realized through the response port RU of the slave control unit 22, that is, a specific combination of high and low level signals can be transmitted through the response port RU.
[0057] It should also be understood that in order to facilitate the slave control unit U2 to receive the complete identification code, the master control unit U1 can set a start signal and a termination signal for the identification code. In this way, the slave control unit U2 starts to collect the identification code when the start signal is detected, and ends the collection of the identification code when the termination signal is detected.
[0058] It should also be understood that after the master control unit U1 sends the identification code through the atomizer port AT, it needs to continue to output a conduction signal for a period of time to realize the continuous power supply to the slave control unit U2, so that the slave control unit U2 can return a response code. The conduction signal can be a signal with a voltage greater than a certain value.
[0059] Optionally, the master control unit U1 can be a control unit U in the atomization assembly 22, and the present application does not make special limitations. Figure 1
[0060] In the present application, the check result of the atomization assembly 22 can include: a usable atomization assembly or an unusable atomization assembly.
[0061] It should be understood that, since the old atomization assembly does not have the function of sending a response code, the corresponding verification result of the old atomization assembly is an unusable atomization assembly. In addition, the response code in some inferior atomization assemblies is not a legal preset code, so the corresponding verification result of the inferior atomization assembly is also an unusable atomization assembly.
[0062] Optionally, the main control unit U1 is further configured to, when the response condition includes that the response code is detected through the verification port PWM, verify the atomization assembly 22 based on the response code to obtain a verification result; or, when the response condition includes that the response code is not detected through the verification port PWM, determine that the verification result of the atomization assembly 22 is an unusable atomization assembly.
[0063] In the verification process, the main control unit U1 verifies the atomization assembly 22 based on the response code, which can further include: when the main control unit U1 determines that the response code is the preset code, the main control unit U1 determines that the verification result of the atomization assembly 22 is a usable atomization assembly (i.e., a regular atomization assembly produced by a regular manufacturer); when the main control unit U1 determines that the response code is not the preset code, the main control unit U1 determines that the verification result of the atomization assembly is an unusable atomization assembly.
[0064] It can be understood that, for a regular atomization assembly, the response code and the identification code are pre-stored in the corresponding slave control unit. In this way, the slave control unit sends the response code when the identification code is detected. In order to avoid the response code and the identification code in the regular atomization assembly being stolen, the response code and the identification code in the regular atomization assembly can be updated periodically (for example, every 6 months), and the identification code and the preset code stored in the control assembly also need to be updated, which improves the security of the verification to some extent.
[0065] It should be noted that the above verification process is completed in a very short time (for example, millisecond level) when the atomization assembly 22 is inserted into the control assembly 21, so it has no effect on the normal use experience of the user. Through the verification of the atomization assembly, it is ensured that the atomization assembly used by the user is a product certified by the manufacturer, thereby ensuring the use experience and safety of the user.
[0066] In some embodiments, the main control unit U1 is further configured to, when the verification result of the atomization assembly 22 is determined to be a usable atomization assembly, control the atomizer port AT to perform signal output on the heating resistor R1, so as to cause the atomization assembly 22 to vaporize the substance to be atomized; and when the verification result of the atomization assembly 22 is determined to be an unusable atomization assembly, control the atomizer port AT to perform signal cutoff on the heating resistor R1.
[0067] In some other embodiments, when the response condition comprises that no response code is detected by the checking port PWM, the main control unit U1 is configured to detect whether the atomization assembly 22 is reinserted into the control assembly 21, and if the reinsertion is detected, the atomization assembly 22 can be rechecked to obtain a checking result; if the reinsertion is not detected, the main control unit U1 determines that the checking result of the atomization assembly 22 is an unusable atomization assembly, and controls the atomizer port AT to signal cut-off for the atomization assembly 22.
[0068] In some other embodiments, when the response condition comprises that a response code is detected by the checking port PWM, and the response code is not the preset code, the main control unit U1 is configured to detect whether the atomization assembly 22 is reinserted into the control assembly 21, and if the reinsertion is detected, the atomization assembly 22 can be rechecked to obtain a checking result; if the reinsertion is not detected, the main control unit U1 determines that the checking result of the atomization assembly 22 is an unusable atomization assembly, and controls the atomizer port AT to signal cut-off for the atomization assembly 22.
[0069] If the atomization assembly 22 is a regular atomization assembly, but the atomization assembly 22 is short-circuited for a short time during the current connection process, the voltage value detected by the atomizer port AT during the short-circuiting time is the second value, causing the response code to be incorrect. Therefore, based on this situation, in some other embodiments, when it is determined that the checking result of the atomization assembly 22 is an unusable atomization assembly, and the checking result is that the atomization assembly 22 is determined to be an unusable atomization assembly for the first time during the current connection process between the atomization assembly 22 and the control assembly 21, the main control unit U1 is further configured to resend the identification code, and perform secondary checking on the atomization assembly 22 based on the response condition of the atomization assembly 22 to the resending identification code, and control the atomizer port AT to signal control the heating resistor R1 according to the secondary checking result. As can be seen, in order to avoid misjudgment of the unusable atomization assembly, the atomization assembly with the first checking result of the unusable atomization assembly can be subjected to secondary checking, so that the accuracy of the checking result is improved.
[0070] Similarly, in the case that the secondary checking result comprises that the atomization assembly 22 is a usable atomization assembly, the main control unit U1 controls the atomizer port AT to signal output the heating resistor R1; in the case that the secondary checking result comprises that the atomization assembly 22 is an unusable atomization assembly, the main control unit U1 controls the atomizer port AT to signal cut-off the heating resistor R1.
[0071] It should be noted that, in the process of controlling the atomizer port AT to signal output the heating resistor R1, the on-off time of the heating resistor R1 can be controlled to meet the user's usage habits. For example, the heating resistor R1 can be continuously controlled to be turned on for a period of time, and then controlled to be turned off for a period of time, and the cycle is repeated.
[0072] In summary, the atomization assembly of the atomization device can receive the on-off instruction of the control assembly, and the control assembly can also obtain the response condition of the atomization assembly. Through the bidirectional communication between the atomization assembly and the control assembly, the atomization assembly can be checked, the problem of low safety caused by using a fake atomization assembly can be avoided, and the economic, credit and other damages to the merchant and the damage to the health of the user can be reduced.
[0073] In addition, the external connection mode between the control assembly and the atomization assembly in the present application has not changed compared with the prior art, so the structure of the atomization device does not need to be changed, and the atomization device in the present application can be produced by using the existing atomization device shell mold, thereby saving mold development time and cost.
[0074] In some embodiments of the present application, if the atomization device in the present application does not support power reverse connection, the user needs to identify the two connection ports (i.e. the first connection port and the second connection port) of the atomization assembly 22 during the process of inserting the atomization assembly 22 into the control assembly 21, and insert the first connection port RP into the atomizer port AT and the second connection port RM into the ground port GND to avoid the occurrence of power reverse connection.
[0075] In another optional embodiment of the present application, since power reverse connection is inevitable and power reverse connection can cause damage to the circuit. The atomization assembly in the embodiment of the present application includes a heating resistor R1 and a slave control unit U2. Since the resistor does not have positive and negative poles, it will not cause damage to the circuit. Therefore, the present application can support positive and negative connection of the slave control unit U2.
[0076] Optionally, the slave control unit U2 is configured to obtain a first voltage at the first connection port RP and a second voltage at the second connection port RM, and when the first voltage is greater than the second voltage, the first connection port RP of the slave control unit U2 is electrically connected to the atomizer port AT of the main control unit U1, and the second connection port RM of the slave control unit U2 is electrically connected to the ground port GND of the main control unit U1. As can be seen, by comparing the voltages at the two connection ports of the slave control unit U2, the port connection can be flexibly performed according to the comparison result (i.e. the connection port with higher voltage can be connected to the atomizer port AT, and the connection port with lower voltage can be connected to the ground port GND), thereby realizing power positive and negative connection.
[0077] Optionally, when the first voltage is less than the second voltage, the second connection port RM of the slave control unit U2 is electrically connected to the atomizer port AT of the main control unit U1, and the first connection port RP of the slave control unit U2 is electrically connected to the ground port GND of the main control unit U1.
[0078] Exemplarily, the slave control unit U2 can at least include a comparator, so that the first voltage at the first connection port RP and the second voltage at the second connection port RM are compared by the comparator.
[0079] In summary, since the heating resistor belongs to a resistor device, and the slave control unit is designed to prevent reverse connection, the first connection port and the second connection port of the slave control unit can be used interchangeably, that is, the slave control unit has the characteristics of bidirectional conduction. In this way, there is no difference between the positive and negative electrodes during the installation of the atomization assembly, effectively ensuring the safety and reliability of use.
[0080] In some optional embodiments of the present application, the master control unit U1 is further configured to send a control signal to the slave control unit U2 through the verification port PWM when it is determined that the verification result of the atomization assembly 22 is a usable atomization assembly, and acquire state information of the heating resistor R1 collected by the slave control unit U2 based on the control signal, and control the signal control of the heating resistor R1 by the atomizer port AT according to the state information.
[0081] The state information includes the voltage difference information corresponding to the two ends of the heating resistor R1, and / or the current information of the heating resistor R1.
[0082] It can be understood that the control signal can be periodically sent to the slave control unit U2 through the verification port PWM, avoiding the problem of large power consumption caused by real-time sending of the control signal.
[0083] It should also be understood that when the atomization material in the atomization assembly 22 is exhausted, since the heating resistor R1 is no longer immersed in the atomization material, the temperature of the heating resistor R1 will be abnormal (for example, the temperature will abnormally rise, etc.), causing damage to the atomization device, and even endangering the personal safety of the user, so it is necessary to turn off the output to the heating resistor R1 in time, and prompt the user to replace the atomization assembly 22, to ensure the user's experience and safety in use.
[0084] In view of the fact that the temperature of the heating resistor R1 when the to-be-atomized substance is exhausted is different from the temperature of the heating resistor R1 when the to-be-atomized substance is not exhausted, and the resistance value of the heating resistor R1 is related to the temperature of the heating resistor R1, the application can determine whether the heating resistor R1 is in the to-be-atomized substance exhausted state or the to-be-atomized substance non-exhausted state by detecting the voltage difference information corresponding to the two ends of the heating resistor R1 and / or the current information of the heating resistor R1. In this way, the main control unit U1 is further configured to determine the current state of the heating resistor R1 according to the state information, and control the signal of the atomizer port AT to the heating resistor R1 based on the current state. When the heating resistor R1 is in the to-be-atomized substance exhausted state, the main control unit U1 controls the signal of the atomizer port AT to the heating resistor R1 to be cut off; when the heating resistor R1 is in the to-be-atomized substance non-exhausted state, the main control unit U1 controls the signal of the atomizer port AT to the heating resistor R1 to be output.
[0085] For example, when the heating resistor R1 is in the to-be-atomized substance exhausted state, the voltage difference information corresponding to the two ends of the heating resistor R1 is in a first voltage difference range, and the current information corresponding to the heating resistor R1 is in a first current range; when the heating resistor R1 is in the to-be-atomized substance non-exhausted state, the voltage difference information corresponding to the two ends of the heating resistor R1 is in a second voltage difference range, and the current information corresponding to the heating resistor R1 is in a second current range.
[0086] It can be understood that the to-be-atomized substance exhausted state described above refers to a state in which the current capacity of the to-be-atomized substance in the liquid storage cavity is less than or equal to the preset capacity.
[0087] As can be seen, in the process of normal use of the atomization device by the user, the current state of the heating resistor can be monitored by the control unit at the same time, without the need to pause the power supply to the heating resistor, thereby ensuring the user experience. At the same time, since the control unit is physically closer to the heating resistor, the accuracy of the state information is ensured to some extent.
[0088] Figure 3 For the purpose of Figure 2 An electrical circuit diagram of an atomization device is shown in the embodiment. As shown in Figure 3 The control assembly 21 further includes a battery Bat and a pull-up resistor R2. One end of the battery Bat is electrically connected to the power supply port VDD of the main control unit U1, and the other end of the battery Bat is electrically connected to the ground port GND of the main control unit U1. One end of the pull-up resistor R2 is electrically connected to the power supply port VDD, and the other end of the pull-up resistor R2 is electrically connected to the atomizer port AT. The battery Bat supplies power to the entire circuit of the atomization device.
[0089] The pull-up resistor R2 can be an internal device of the main control unit U1, or can be a device arranged outside the main control unit U1. In addition, the battery Bat can be a lithium electronic battery or a lithium ion battery, and the present application does not have special restrictions on this.
[0090] In the embodiment of the present application, the main control unit U1 is further configured to determine that the control assembly 21 and the atomization assembly 22 are not connected when the difference between the voltage of the battery Bat and the voltage of the atomizer port AT is less than a preset threshold value at the pull-up time of the pull-up resistor R2; or determine that the control assembly 21 and the atomization assembly 22 are connected (i.e., equivalent to that the atomization assembly 22 is normally inserted into the control assembly 21) when the voltage of the atomizer port AT is within a preset numerical range at the pull-up time of the pull-up resistor R2.
[0091] It can be understood that the control assembly 21 and the atomization assembly 22 are not connected can be understood as that the control assembly 21 is not inserted with the atomization assembly 22 or the atomization assembly 22 is not normally inserted into the control assembly 21. Among them, there are foreign matters at the connection ports (such as the atomizer port AT, the ground port GND, the first connection port RP, the second connection port RM, etc.), or the breathing action on the atomization device, which can cause the atomization assembly 22 not to be normally inserted into the control assembly 21.
[0092] It can be understood that the present application can periodically pull up the atomizer port AT through the pull-up resistor R2. Since the resistance value (such as 10kΩ) of the pull-up resistor R2 is usually large, and the resistance value (such as 1Ω) of the heating resistor R1 is usually small. In this way, when the control assembly 21 and the atomization assembly 22 are not connected, the voltage of the atomizer port AT is equal to or close to the voltage of the battery BAT, so the above-mentioned preset threshold value can be a value between [0V, 0.7V]; when the control assembly 21 and the atomization assembly 22 are connected, the voltage of the atomizer port AT is about 0V, so the above-mentioned preset numerical range can be [0V, 0.5V], etc.
[0093] It should also be understood that the main control unit U1 in the embodiment of the present application can also send the component detection signal through the atomizer port AT at a low frequency (such as 100Hz), which avoids real-time detection of the connection between the atomization assembly and the control assembly.
[0094] It should be noted that when the control assembly 21 and the atomization assembly 22 are not connected, the main control unit U1 can control the control assembly 21 to be in a standby state. In addition, when the control assembly 21 is in the standby state, the control assembly 21 and the atomization assembly 22 can be periodically detected (such as at the pull-up time of the pull-up resistor R2), which reduces the power consumption of the control assembly 21.
[0095] Figure 4 is based onFigure 3 Fig. 1 shows a circuit schematic diagram of an atomization device according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Fig. 1, the atomization device comprises a control assembly 21. Figure 4
[0096] The indicator light circuit route1 comprises an indicator light L1. One end of the indicator light L1 is electrically connected to an indicator light port LED of the main control unit U1, and the other end of the indicator light L1 is electrically connected to a ground port GND of the main control unit U1. For example, the indicator light L1 can be an LED (light emitting diode) light or the like.
[0097] In the embodiment of the present application, the main control unit U1 is further configured to control the indicator light L1 to be in an indication state, and the indication state is used to represent a charging state, a use state or an abnormal connection state of the atomization device. In this way, the current state of the atomization device can be informed to the user by controlling the indicator light L1.
[0098] For example, the abnormal connection state is a state that no response code is detected through the verification port, or a state that a response code is detected through the verification port and the response code is not a preset code.
[0099] For example, if the atomization device is an electronic cigarette, the use state can be a smoking state; if the atomization device is an atomization therapy instrument, the use state can be a treatment state.
[0100] For example, the present application can represent each state by different colors of the indicator light L1. For example, when the color of the indicator light L1 is red, it represents that the atomization device is in the abnormal connection state; when the color of the indicator light L1 is green, it represents that the atomization device is in the charging state; and when the color of the indicator light L1 is yellow, it represents that the atomization device is in the use state.
[0101] For example, the present application can represent each state by different flashing frequencies of the indicator light L1. For example, when the flashing frequency of the indicator light L1 is f1, it represents that the atomization device is in the abnormal connection state; when the flashing frequency of the indicator light L1 is f2, it represents that the atomization device is in the charging state; and when the flashing frequency of the indicator light L1 is f3, it represents that the atomization device is in the use state, f1>f2>f3, and the like. The above examples are only illustrative, and the present application is not specially limited in this regard.
[0102] Of course, the indicator light can also represent a state that the atomization device is out of an atomization material or a state that the battery is insufficient, wherein the state that the battery is insufficient represents a state that the current power of the battery is less than or equal to a preset power. The present application is not specially limited in the type of the indicator light.
[0103] Figure 5 is based on Figure 3 A circuit schematic of an atomization device is shown in the illustrated embodiment. As Figure 5 The control component 21 also includes a switch circuit route2, as shown.
[0104] The switch circuit route2 includes a microphone switch K1, one end of which is electrically connected to a switch port SW of the main control unit U1, and the other end of which is electrically connected to a ground port GND of the main control unit U1.
[0105] In the embodiments of the present application, the main control unit U1 is configured to control the atomizer port AT to output a signal to the heating resistor R1 based on a breathing parameter detected by the microphone switch K1, the breathing parameter including at least one of a breathing strength and a breathing action (i.e., exhalation or inhalation).
[0106] For example, if the atomization device is an electronic cigarette, the breathing parameter can be a smoking parameter, the breathing strength corresponds to a smoking strength, and the breathing action corresponds to a smoking action; if the atomization device is an atomization therapy instrument, the breathing parameter can be a treatment parameter, the breathing strength corresponds to a treatment strength, and the breathing action corresponds to a treatment action.
[0107] It can be understood that the microphone switch K1 can be a switch generated based on an airflow sensor. In this way, the breathing parameter can be obtained based on a pressure difference detected by the airflow sensor, which converts the detected pressure difference into a corresponding level signal and sends it to the main control unit U1.
[0108] In some embodiments, the main control unit U1 in the present application can control different voltage signals to be output to the heating resistor R1 according to the breathing strength; wherein the greater the breathing strength, the greater the voltage indicated by the voltage signal; the smaller the breathing strength, the smaller the voltage indicated by the voltage signal. As can be seen, the present application can output corresponding voltage signals to the heating resistor according to the user's needs, so that the atomization effect is more in line with the user's needs.
[0109] It should also be understood that after the main control unit U1 receives the level signal sent by the airflow sensor, it can also control Figure 4 the indicator light L1 to be in a target indication state, the target indication state being used to indicate that the atomization device is in a use state.
[0110] Figure 6 is based on Figure 3 A circuit schematic of an atomization device is shown in the illustrated embodiment. As Figure 6 The control component 21 also includes a voltage stabilizing circuit route3, as shown.
[0111] The voltage stabilizing circuit route3 includes a voltage stabilizing capacitor C1. One end of the voltage stabilizing capacitor C1 is electrically connected with one end of the battery Bat, and the other end of the voltage stabilizing capacitor C1 is electrically connected with the other end of the battery Bat.
[0112] It can be understood that the voltage of the battery is usually unstable when the battery starts to supply power. Therefore, based on the charge and discharge characteristics of the capacitor, when the voltage provided by the battery Bat is higher than the voltage between the two ends of the voltage stabilizing capacitor C1, the battery Bat can charge the voltage stabilizing capacitor C1, and when the voltage provided by the battery Bat is lower than the voltage between the two ends of the voltage stabilizing capacitor C1, the voltage stabilizing capacitor C1 discharges. In this way, the voltage on the entire circuit is relatively smooth and less abrupt.
[0113] Figure 7 is based on Figure 3 The circuit schematic diagram of the atomization device shown in the embodiment is shown in FIG. 3. As shown in FIG. 3, the main control unit U1 further includes a charging port VCC for electrical connection with a charger Charger. Figure 7
[0114] In the embodiment of the present application, the charging port VCC is used to charge the battery Bat by electrical connection with the charger Charger. As shown in FIG. 4, the charger Charger can sequentially charge the battery Bat through the charging port VCC and the power supply port VDD. Figure 7
[0115] It can be understood that during the charging process, the main control unit U1 can also determine the charging mode in different stages and charge accordingly. For example, if the different stages include three stages, the first stage can be a fast charging mode, the second stage can be a continuous charging mode, and the third stage can be a trickle charging mode. By controlling the charging mode, the battery can reach a state of full charge, and the service life of the battery can be prolonged.
[0116] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the control assembly further includes a power setting circuit. The power setting circuit includes a power setting resistor. One end of the power setting resistor is electrically connected with the power setting port of the main control unit, and the other end of the power setting resistor is electrically connected with the ground port of the main control unit. The power setting resistor is a variable resistor. In this way, the reference value of the output power of the atomization device when it is working normally can be determined according to the resistance value of the power setting resistor.
[0117] Figure 8 The circuit schematic diagram of the atomization device shown in the embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. 5. As shown in FIG. 5, the atomization device includes a control assembly 21 and an atomization assembly 22. The control assembly 21 is detachably connected with the atomization assembly 22. Figure 8
[0118] The control assembly 21 comprises a main control unit U1, which is provided with an atomizer port AT, a verification port PWM, a ground port GND and a charging port VCC.
[0119] The control assembly 21 further comprises a battery Bat, a pull-up resistor R2, an indicator lamp circuit route1, a switch circuit route2 and a voltage stabilizing circuit route3.
[0120] Further, one end of the battery Bat is electrically connected to a power supply port VDD of the main control unit U1, and the other end of the battery Bat is electrically connected to a ground port GND of the main control unit U1; one end of the pull-up resistor R2 is electrically connected to the power supply port VDD, and the other end of the pull-up resistor R2 is electrically connected to the atomizer port AT; the indicator lamp circuit route1 comprises an indicator lamp L1, one end of the indicator lamp L1 is electrically connected to an indicator lamp port LED of the main control unit U1, and the other end of the indicator lamp L1 is electrically connected to the ground port GND of the main control unit U1; the switch circuit route2 comprises a microphone switch K1, one end of the microphone switch K1 is electrically connected to a switch port SW of the main control unit U1, and the other end of the microphone switch K1 is electrically connected to the ground port GND of the main control unit U1; the voltage stabilizing circuit route3 comprises a voltage stabilizing capacitor C1, one end of the voltage stabilizing capacitor C1 is electrically connected to one end of the battery Bat, and the other end of the voltage stabilizing capacitor C1 is electrically connected to the other end of the battery Bat.
