[0040] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments of the present invention will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0041] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the circuit structure for adjusting output power using reverse air blowing in one embodiment of the present invention;

[0042] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for adjusting output power using reverse blowing in one embodiment of the present invention;

[0043] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a device for adjusting output power using reverse blowing in one embodiment of the present invention;

[0044] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of an aerosol generating device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0045] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0046] This embodiment provides a method for adjusting output power using reverse blowing, which can be applied to an aerosol generation device, including, as shown in the example below. Figure 1 The circuit structure shown is such that the MCU processor U1 is connected to the microphone component U2 to acquire the capacitance value of the microphone component U2, the first terminal of the field-effect transistor Q1 is connected to the MCU processor U1 and the resistor R1, the second terminal of the field-effect transistor Q2 is the output voltage VOUT, which is connected to the atomizing device of the aerosol generator, and the third terminal of the field-effect transistor Q3 is the battery voltage VBAT, which is connected to the second terminal of the resistor R1.

[0047] Specifically, the positive pressure difference generated by the user's suction operation when drawing air from the aerosol generator can be converted into a capacitance change by the microphone component (e.g., the capacitance decreases). Conversely, the reverse pressure difference generated by the user's backflushing operation when backflushing the aerosol generator can be converted into a capacitance change by the microphone component (e.g., the capacitance increases). The MCU processor U1 can detect the capacitance change of the microphone component U2 in real time and determine whether the user is performing a suction or backflushing operation based on the capacitance decrease or increase. Furthermore, when it is determined that the user is performing a backflushing operation, the MCU processor can control the output power level of the aerosol generator. This eliminates the need for the user to manually press buttons to switch, simplifying operation and effectively reducing costs.

[0048] Among them, the empty microphone component U2 is a microphone without processing circuitry.

[0049] In this embodiment of the application, the circuit also includes an indicator light D1 connected to the MCU processor. The indicator light D1 is used to indicate the current output power level. Under the control of the MCU processor, it can switch different colors, the number of lights, etc. according to different output power levels.

[0050] The indicator light D1 can be an LED, and may include one or more.

[0051] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a method for adjusting output power by reverse blowing is provided, which is applied to... Figure 1 Taking the circuit in the example, the explanation includes the following steps:

[0052] In step S110, the initial capacitance value of the microphone component is obtained;

[0053] In this embodiment of the application, the empty microphone component may be an empty microphone, that is, a microphone without processing circuitry.

[0054] In this embodiment of the application, the initial capacitance value may be the capacitance value detected by the MCU processor when the aerosol generating device is not in operation.

[0055] In step S120, the current capacitance value of the microphone component is detected in real time;

[0056] In this embodiment, when the user performs a suction operation, the airflow of the aerosol generator can generate a positive pressure difference, at which time the microphone capacity decreases. When the user blows air into the aerosol generator in the opposite direction, the airflow can generate a reverse pressure difference, at which time the microphone capacity increases. The MCU processor is connected to the microphone through a circuit. In the absence of other processing circuits, the change in the microphone capacity is only affected by the pressure difference. Therefore, the current capacity of the microphone can be obtained by detecting the microphone capacity in real time through the MCU.

[0057] In step S130, based on the initial capacitance value and the current capacitance value, it is determined whether the capacitance value of the microphone component has changed;

[0058] In this embodiment of the application, after obtaining the initial capacitance value and the current capacitance value, the difference between the initial capacitance value and the current capacitance value can be calculated. When the difference is not equal to 0, it indicates that the capacitance value of the microphone component has changed. When the difference is equal to 0, it indicates that the capacitance value of the microphone component has not changed.

[0059] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this application, determining whether the capacitance value of the microphone component has changed based on the initial capacitance value and the current capacitance value includes:

[0060] Calculate the difference between the initial capacitance value and the current capacitance value;

[0061] Determine whether the absolute value of the difference between the initial capacitance value and the current capacitance value is greater than a preset change threshold;

[0062] If the judgment result is yes, then it is determined that the capacitance value of the empty microphone component has changed.

[0063] In this embodiment of the application, after obtaining the initial capacitance value and the current capacitance value, the absolute value of the difference between the initial capacitance value and the current capacitance value can be calculated. For example, the preset change threshold is 1pf. When the absolute value of the difference is greater than 1pf, it is determined that the capacitance value of the microphone component has changed. When the absolute value of the difference is less than 1pf, it is determined that the capacitance value of the microphone component has not changed. Due to the influence of environmental factors, the capacitance value of the microphone component may change slightly, which may be mistakenly judged as the user performing a suction or backflush operation. Therefore, by setting the preset change threshold, the influence of environmental factors can be effectively reduced.

[0064] In one embodiment of this application, when the determination result is negative, it is determined that the capacitance value of the microphone component has not changed, and therefore there is no power output.

[0065] In one embodiment of this application, determining whether the capacitance value of the microphone component has changed includes:

[0066] Calculate the difference between the initial capacitance value and the current capacitance value;

[0067] Determine whether the absolute value of the difference between the initial capacitance value and the current capacitance value is greater than a preset change threshold;

[0068] If the judgment result is yes, further determine whether the capacitance value of the empty microphone component changes continuously within a preset time period and whether the number of consecutive changes reaches a preset threshold.

[0069] If the judgment result is yes, then it is determined that the capacitance value of the empty microphone component has changed.

[0070] In one embodiment of this application, when the determination result is negative, it is determined that the capacitance value of the microphone component has not changed, and therefore there is no power output.

[0071] In this embodiment of the application, the preset time can be a specific time value, such as 1 second, 3 seconds, 5 seconds, etc., and the preset threshold can be a specific number of times, such as 2 times, 3 times, 5 times, etc., which can be set according to the actual situation.

[0072] In this embodiment of the application, in order to prevent misjudgment caused by environmental factors, after detecting that the absolute value of the difference between the initial capacitance value and the current capacitance value of the microphone component is greater than a preset change threshold, it is further determined that the capacitance value of the microphone component has changed multiple times in a certain period of time, for example, if it changes three times in a row within 2 seconds.

[0073] In one embodiment of this application, when the capacitance value of the microphone component is detected to change continuously within a certain period of time, such as within 3 seconds or 5 seconds, it can be determined that the capacitance value of the microphone component has changed, thereby avoiding misjudgment caused by user error.

[0074] In this embodiment of the application, "changing multiple times in a certain period of time" and "changing continuously in a certain period of time" both refer to the absolute value of the difference between the initial capacitance value and the current capacitance value detected in real time being greater than the preset change threshold.

[0075] In step S140, if the judgment result is yes, then it is determined whether the user is currently performing a reverse blowing operation;

[0076] In this embodiment, the reverse blowing operation specifically refers to the user blowing air into the aerosol generating device through the nozzle of the aerosol generating device.

[0077] In one embodiment of this application, determining whether a user is currently performing a reverse blowing operation includes:

[0078] Compare the initial capacitance value with the current capacitance value.

[0079] If the initial capacity is less than the current capacity, it is determined that the user is currently performing a reverse blowing operation.

[0080] If the initial capacity is greater than the current capacity, it is determined that the user is currently performing a forward inhalation operation, and the atomizer outputs power at the current setting.

[0081] Specifically, when the user performs a suction operation, the airflow in the aerosol generator creates a positive pressure difference, causing the microphone module's capacity to decrease. Conversely, when the user reverses the flow, a reverse pressure difference is created, increasing the microphone module's capacity. Therefore, after obtaining the initial and current capacities of the microphone module, a comparison can be made. If the current capacity is greater than the initial capacity, it indicates that the microphone module's capacity has increased, and the user should reverse the flow. Conversely, if the current capacity is less than the initial capacity, it indicates that the microphone module's capacity has decreased, and the user should perform a suction operation.

[0082] In step S150, if the judgment result is yes, the output power of the atomizer is switched according to the preset rules.

[0083] In this embodiment, the atomizer is a device installed in an aerosol generating device for atomizing the aerosol generating matrix. By adjusting the output power of the atomizer according to the change in the capacitance of the air microphone component, the concentration and speed of atomization can be changed.

[0084] In one embodiment of this application, the step of switching the output power of the atomizer according to a preset rule includes:

[0085] The output power of the atomizer is switched cyclically in ascending order of power level.

[0086] Specifically, for example, if the atomizer has three output power levels, namely level 1, level 2, and level 3, then when switching between output power levels, the user can cycle through the levels in the order of level 1-level 2-level 3-level 1-level 2 until the user stops performing reverse blowing.

[0087] Furthermore, before switching the output power of the atomizer, the current output power of the atomizer can be obtained. For example, if the current output power is level 2, then the switching can be performed in the order of level 3-level-level-level-level-level-level-level.

[0088] In one embodiment of this application, the step of switching the output power of the atomizer according to a preset rule includes:

[0089] Based on the relationship between the difference between the current capacity and the initial capacity and the power level, the atomizer's output power is switched to the corresponding power level.

[0090] In this embodiment, the increase in microphone module capacitance (increase = current capacitance - initial capacitance) is segmented, and a correspondence with different speed settings can be established. For example, an increase in microphone module capacitance of 1pf-3pf corresponds to speed setting 1, an increase of 4pf-6pf corresponds to speed setting 2, and an increase of 7pf-10pf corresponds to speed setting 3. Therefore, when the microphone module capacitance increase is between 1pf and 3pf, the speed setting is switched to speed setting 1; when the increase is between 4pf and 6pf, the speed setting is switched to speed setting 2; and when the increase is between 7pf and 10pf, the speed setting is switched to speed setting 3.

[0091] In this embodiment of the application, when the initial value of the microphone component is 10pf, and the current capacitance value of the microphone component is 15pf, the difference between the current capacitance value and the initial capacitance value is 15pf-10pf=5pf. According to the above correspondence between the capacitance value increment and the gear, the gear can be switched to gear 2.

[0092] In this embodiment of the application, after switching the output power level according to a preset rule, the process includes:

[0093] Depending on the gear selected, change the color or number of indicator lights; and / or

[0094] The gear position is displayed on the screen according to the switched gear.

[0095] In this embodiment, an indicator light may be provided on the housing of the aerosol generator. This indicator light can be electrically connected to an MCU processor. The MCU processor controls the indicator light to emit different colors at different power levels. For example, the indicator light is green at power level 1, yellow at power level 2, and red at power level 3. This allows the user to directly view the current output power level of the atomizer.

[0096] In this embodiment, there can be multiple indicator lights. The MCU processor can control the number of indicator lights to be lit at different power levels. For example, at power level 1, one indicator light can be lit; at power level 2, two indicator lights can be lit; at power level 3, three indicator lights can be lit, and so on. This allows the user to directly view the current output power level of the atomizer.

[0097] In this embodiment, the aerosol generator's housing may also be equipped with a screen, which can display different power levels. For example, at power level 1, one power level indicator is displayed on the screen; at power level 2, two power level indicator indicators are displayed; and at power level 3, three power level indicator indicators are displayed. This allows users to directly view the atomizer's current output power level.

[0098] This application provides a method for adjusting output power using reverse blowing, comprising: obtaining the initial capacity of the microphone assembly; detecting the current capacity of the microphone assembly in real time; determining whether the capacity of the microphone assembly has changed based on the initial capacity and the current capacity; if the determination result is yes, determining whether the user is currently performing reverse blowing operation; if the determination result is yes, switching the output power level according to a preset rule. In this application, by detecting changes in the capacity of the microphone assembly, it is determined whether the user is in a normal inhalation state or in a reverse blowing state. When the user is in a reverse blowing state, the output power level is switched, thereby achieving output power switching via a microphone reverse blowing replacement button. This simplifies the structure of the aerosol generating device, reduces costs, and eliminates the need for manual operation by the user, improving the user experience.

[0099] It should be understood that the sequence number of each step in the above embodiments does not imply the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0100] In one embodiment, a device for adjusting output power using reverse air blowing is provided, which corresponds one-to-one with the method for adjusting output power using reverse air blowing described in the above embodiments. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the device for adjusting output power using reverse air blowing includes: an initial capacity acquisition unit 10, a current capacity detection unit 20, a first judgment unit 30, a second judgment unit 40, and a gear switching unit 50.

[0105] The power level switching unit 50 is used to switch the output power of the atomizer according to a preset rule when the judgment result of the second judgment unit 40 is yes.

[0106] In one embodiment of this application, the first judgment unit 30 and the second judgment unit 40 may be the same unit module, used to determine whether the capacitance value of the microphone component has changed and whether the user has performed a reverse blowing operation. This allows for simultaneous identification of capacitance changes and blowing direction.

[0107] In one embodiment of this application, the first determination unit 30 is further configured to:

[0109] Determine whether the absolute value of the difference between the initial capacitance value and the current capacitance value is greater than a preset change threshold;

[0110] If the judgment result is yes, then it is determined that the capacitance value of the empty microphone component has changed.

[0111] If the judgment result is negative, it is determined that the capacitance value of the microphone component has not changed, and therefore there is no power output.

[0114] Determine whether the absolute value of the difference between the initial capacitance value and the current capacitance value is greater than a preset change threshold;

[0115] If the judgment result is yes, then it is further determined whether the capacitance value of the empty microphone component changes continuously within a preset time period and whether the number of consecutive changes reaches a preset threshold.

[0116] If the judgment result is yes, it is determined that the capacitance value of the empty microphone component has changed;

[0117] If the judgment result is negative, it is determined that the capacitance value of the microphone component has not changed, and therefore there is no power output.

[0118] In one embodiment of this application, the second determination unit 40 is further configured to:

If the initial capacity is less than the current capacity, it is determined that the current operation is reverse blowing; if the initial capacity is greater than the current capacity, it is determined that the current operation is forward suction, and the power output is performed according to the current setting.

[0120] In one embodiment of this application, the gear shifting unit 50 is further configured to:

[0121] The output power of the atomizer is switched cyclically in ascending order of power level.

[0122] In one embodiment of this application, the gear shifting unit 50 is further configured to:

[0123] Based on the relationship between the difference between the current capacity and the initial capacity and the power level, the atomizer's output power is switched to the corresponding power level.

[0125] Depending on the gear selected, change the color or number of indicator lights; and / or

[0126] The gear position is displayed on the screen according to the switched gear.

[0127] In this embodiment, by detecting changes in the capacitance of the microphone component, it is determined whether the user is in a normal inhalation state or in a backflushing state. When the user is in a backflushing state, the output power level is switched, thereby realizing the switching of output power through the microphone backflushing replacement button. This simplifies the structure of the aerosol generating device, reduces costs, and eliminates the need for manual operation by the user, thus improving the user experience.
